Yes I'm busy trying to make some work for myself here. Job finding is becoming a pain, and well if I can make some money off what I'm making and such might as well try going into something here. It's good to see you're still writing and such though.^^

Well, like I said, just barely. The thoughts are still there, and I'm holding out hope that I'll eventually get 'em out, but we'll see. Most of my time is spent in transit for my own job over in Beaverton, but I'm moving out there next month.

Oh I see, well hope the move goes well^^ and congrats on finding work. I've been out of the job for a while now, but still making it on commissions and what not. But dang just remembered the prices of bus fair and such going up. I hope things work out man, seems like everything is coming against us here and there.

I really lucked out: I joined a jobs mailing list at PCC, and almost the first one I applied for hired me on. I'm making $15/hour as a programmer, and I actually love it. Not like those days in the Wal-Mart parking lot at all.

Whoa not like wal mart at all XD thank goodness you got something and for like 15$ that's pretty awesome dude! And you said programmer? What are you programming and such? Sounds pretty nice man. I also noticed PCC is a good place to check out when it comes to jobs. I remember getting into the post office from them.

Yeah, I really lucked out. I do all kinds of programming, though I kinda bombed my most recent project. Now I'm doing some tentative work on a project for Nike that I was on back in June.

They've got some good job mailing lists there! CompTech was what got me where I am.

I don't get the phrase "it's an acquired taste." Why would you WANT to acquire it..?

Sejuay In reply to Rogin [2010-08-29 03:40:08 +0000 UTC]

well, you don't always acquire tastes on purpose. More likely, it's getting sick of a taste you used to have. I used to really like sweet drinks, for example, but then I went PAFF! and started drinking more mellow things. You might say that was an acquired taste.

Dammit. Now I just lost the game again. That's what I get for watching Monster for an hour...

Anyway. One of the things I've been thinking is, "is this really the same person who called me last year to make sure I was doing okay after helping me through a bought of depression the previous night?" To get to the actual question, though, has something changed or am I blowing everything completely out of proportion here?

Well, since you haven't responded to that last comment of mine, I'll assume it's a line you don't want to pursue for now.

I really am sorry about that, Katie. I hadn't even thought of that interpretation, and I thought I'd covered each possibility in my mind from the hostile to the apologetic...is there anything that I can do to make it up to you?

Well, it was a really, REALLY bad week for me. Finals with a potential, difficult A. Finding out that I was going to get home at 11:30 Fall term. My mom going through major surgery with an expected recovery period of six weeks where she wasn't allowed to sit up more than three times a day and I'd be the only one home to deal with it. Then, you basically said you didn't like talking to me when I asked why you'd blocked me, and wouldn't explain in more detail what you meant. I'm sorry if I freaked you out, I just really wanted to know that things were still okay between us because, with the combination of stress and the full-range free time of summer, I had nothing to do but think about these things, resulting in near-constant depression on my part.

I'm really sorry, it was never my intention to scare you, I was just desperate for a friend. But I should have kept better control of myself.
