Proof of life? I keep forgetting I have bsky sometimes, but I'm still reading feeds every now and then. New job started beginning of August so my brain is soaking up all the things.

Tomorrow I'm going to see Halestorm and Volbeat through the generosity of good friends. This will be my celebration for having gotten out of retail pharmacy (even though I have one day left to work at ex-job). I can't quite believe I really made it out. New path starts Monday!

Okay. Now that I have relayed info where it was important:
I have officially accepted a position at Augusta Health Inpatient Pharmacy as a pharmacy technician. I am very excited about starting a new phase in my career and learning new things!

I really need something to change soon in a good way. I'm really tired.

Won't know anything concrete on the possible new job until Tuesday at the earliest... but my next order of business is putting together the cost of getting a passport.

Tracks that I have an important thing this afternoon and it's now 4am and I'm finally able to shut my brain down for sleep. :P

Good juju appreciated. I have an interview tomorrow morning before work. Trying not to put carts before horses,but it's the sort of thing that'd make a strong difference in my life.

Very very tempting to try and come up with the $164 to go see Stray Kids in June and lean a little on my growing mobility issues (hip, knees, and back).

Just like that *snaps fingers*, another fresh paycheck lands and is gone. I'm getting tired of just existing.
(Note: This is not a cry that I'm going to do something stupid, I'm just really, really tired of trying.)

Things were supposed to start getting easier this year. As it is I'm not making any ends meet and there's nothing left over. It's getting harder and harder to try.

Slept like crap, still have the tension migraine hanging around.
I just have a feeling something is going to hit me wrong today and that's going to be all she wrote. I will of course endeavor to remember that there is no wi-fi in jail, I hate orange, and prison beds will fuck up my back.

Woo. Filed my taxes.
So nice to see that my employer thinks I should be making $41K a year... but I barely pulled in $34K this past year. That $7K difference is purely an hours game and there is no way for me to be guaranteed the 40 hours a week needed to make that a reality.

Someone mentioned the General Strike to me today along with a link to sign up for a strike card.
I wish I could afford to do that, but right now one day missed at work could mean several bills don't get paid.
I don't have the luxury. I will support those who do.

I really didn't want to hope too hard on the last job I interviewed for, but it seemed to go so well. Only upside is that I wasn't left hanging for weeks without an update. I just feel kinda lost again and like the pool of available job options keeps shrinking on me daily.
