The Raging Tech

Ch-Ch-Changes

I thought Monday at lunch was going to be my final goodbyes to Kylara, and the end of our relationship. But then when I showed up at lunch our friends were there hanging out, so we didn’t really get to spend much time together. As they got up to go get food, Kylara said she’d drop in to see me later. So while I was prepared to deal with the hurt of seeing her the last time before she moves at lunch, that got delayed.

I wasn’t upset that I’d get to see her again before she left, my heart was just shaken up because when I thought it was over, it wasn’t quite over yet. It was just stressful. So now, we’ve said our goodbye and had our last hug and kiss before she leaves. I’m single again. I think my heart officially broke a few days ago when it started to really sink in, so now I’m mostly just sad about her leaving.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, is my first day of class for my master’s degree in project management. I’m not quite mentally prepared for that yet. I need to be. It’s awkward because I need to get my third book that I couldn’t find in PDF format, but I won’t have money until tomorrow so I guess I’ll have to have it overnighted from Amazon.

I’m about halfway through with the 12 days straight of work (due to the students moving back on campus), and I’m on a weird work schedule, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. It’s nice to sleep an extra hour, but apparently the traffic between my house and work is lighter but full of stupid people who can’t drive.

Friday evening can’t come soon enough. I can’t wait to unwind, destress, and relax with some friends and some games. Maybe some Huddle House, because I love me some waffles.

Protected: Just… Venting

Getting My Ducks in a Row

Today I applied for grad school at the university I work for, and called some people to provide letters of recommendation. I also had to update my resume to submit alongside my application. It’s going to cost $40 to apply to this school. I’m applying to the Project Management program for distance learners (read: online courses).

I am very seriously considering purchasing a house that is currently on the market from some friends of mine that live about 20 minutes from here. It’s a 3 bedroom, 2 bath with a deck, porch, and spacious parking. The yard isn’t that big, but wouldn’t be too hard to get a dog or cat eventually. I have a meeting on Wednesday with the bank to talk about whether or not I can afford that kind of a mortgage.

I stole a book called Rules for Renegades: How to Make More Money, Rock Your Career, and Revel in Your Individuality from my boss’ bookshelf in her office. I’m going to try and read it tonight and maybe the next couple of days.

My coworker just accepted a job in another area of our department at work. With one position recently vacated already, that means that in two weeks the help desk team will consist entirely of myself and the hourly employee. I will try to have a good attitude at work and keep my spirits high, because I know that will reflect on me in the future. Also, since the coworker who is leaving was the team lead, that pretty much gives me a field promotion for the time being.

The future looks interesting, to say the least. My life the way I know it now may not look the same at all in just a few months. Life certainly has it’s twists and turns, that’s what makes it all worthwhile.
