You mentioned colleve, but how do you feel about trade schools? If that is the English word. I mean stuff like electricians, plumbers, building carpenters.

That would be okay, if you could survive the financial burdens of working an unpaid internship (an apprenticeship, i tuink they still call it) for a year after graduation.

Im currently stuck in a ditch because i got too close to the edge of the road and the snow caught my tire. Fuck me.

You get preference on hiring after you get out in the US.

You are not supposed to, but a lot of businesses get breaks if they hire veterans. Also you get free food at Applebees sometimes. It would almost certainly solve the financial problems you state. Also, it's difficult to come out of it without an increased skill in self-discipline.

Also, no matter how soul-crushing you think it's going to be, it's going to be worse. Much worse.

My performance review has been pushed back.  I was going to use it to complain about my reviewer not approving my projects fast enough.  I guess I'll just sit here like a lump all day again.

You gonna be okay? Need an uber call?

We escaped, after a couple hours. The rescue vehicle slid off the road trying to pull me out, so someone else happened along on their way to work and pulled him out and gave us their tow strap (our stupid rope kept snapping). Next time they come in to the store ill have to give that back to them and buy them a bottle of liquor.

Glad to hear you're okay.

After two decades of having crippling anxiety related to job applications and being convinced I would never be able to hold down a job... I think I like working.  And finance, and even entrepreneurship, seem interesting to me.  What I'm saying is I think my liberal arts ass probably would have enjoyed being a business major.  I don't think I would have learned as much as my actual major, but holy shit that would have been an easier path in life.

I haven't been on this site in, like, two years or something like that. It's kind of sad, because now I can't remember jack about anything or anyone except grisha5.

fukken pointless anxiety aaaa

brain says 'panic, everything is wrong' but i ask brain 'what exactly is wrong about everything' and it's all 'reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'

I realize that a baseless anxiety feeding into fear of where I'm at and where I will be have probably driven my compulsion to avoid commitment and that I won't be happy with where I'm at, wherever I happen to be or whatever I happen to be doing, until I either distract myself from it or find some way to handle it.

I did leave to get away from the phantasms of my old life and relationship, and that worked to a point, except that while the place is different, I'm still the same, and many of those same ghosts haunt not my old apartment and sleepy town, but me. I can't run away from me.

Me is my own worst enemy, I s'pose.

In happier sad news, I realize that, romantically speaking, I might maybe be becoming my dad. Mom helpfully overshared that he has a thing for high boots, I've inherited the thing for thigh-high socks, my date is a little hapless when it comes to cooking, Dad did all the cooking back home, as probably will I, his favorite band is Depeche Mode, they're one of mine too, guess what's put on as things get spicy, etc etc.

Real awkward, it's not helping my psyche at all even though things are smooth sailing with the kiwi gal. It's funny, really, but just unshakeably awkward. Pointlessly frantic brain needs something to dig into, right?

long socks are the bee's knees, as it were. I too indulge in them.

On-topic: this gingivitis business really sucks. Sucks most of the fun out of drunken make-out sessions, that is. Nerve-wracking stuff.
Hopefully I can improve it before too long.
