Hello world! I've had this blog up for about a month now, and I haven't actually used it to blog, so I figured it was time I changed that! I initally had something here which was just a copypasta of Twitch personality Trog becoming a pig, but that was just a test. So I'm sorry to disappoint, but I did not, infact, become a pig.
I've got a lot of shit going on lately, so I think my delay in blogging on this blog is a bit expected. I'm currently juggling getting a job, starting up a new bank account, finding a therapist, finding a psychiatrist, and honestly just trying to survive. And doing it all without access to my psychiatric medication. So yeah I've got a bit of shit I'm busy with.
The good news is that I've got a job! I'm working at an undisclosed northern hemisphere chain grocer that's paying pretty well. The people I'm working with seem pretty nice and the store is like a 5 minute drive/30 minute walk from where I'm currently living with my boyfriend.
OH and that's something I wanted to talk about here! This town is so much more walkable then the city I grew up in. It's one thing to know how unwalkable the city you've spent all your life in is and to move out from that city for the summer and have a job you can walk to. Not only is shit walkable here, but the transit system here is fucking incredible. There's busses and trains and metros and it's fucking insane. And it all runs on one card! And like, okay, the train system isn't the BEST, but thats mostly because the departments meant to upkeep the railways weren't DOING that for awhile.
I also got this job within less then a month of applying. Which is insane to me. It took MONTHS of me applying to places around my city to get ANY work. And somehow I apply to 7 different places around here and within a week of applying to this grocery store I'm getting calls from them asking when I can come in? Insane, I'm fucking telling you.
Anyways, I'm currently doing new hire training stuff, most of which isn't due for a few months. I honestly don't think I'll finish most of it before I have to leave to go back home. I don't know if I want to go back home. Not to get all parental issues here, but I don't think my parents understand what I mean when I say that it is dangerous for me to drive. And where they live, driving is necessary for me to get anywhere job wise, especially since I have issues with my leg. And if they do understand, they think I can just get over it. I just want to stay around here, just work until I have enough money to get my own place so I don't have to go back. I know if I go back I'll just stagnante again.
I don't know. I'll survive nonetheless. I just am tired of convincing people of my illnesses. It's crazy how just being believed and accomodated for has already helped me improve by miles. Take notes everyone.
Anywho, vent over
I'm getting paid for training which is great. So far I've done like 3 hours of training, which with my pay adds up to around $50. Most of the training I can do online too which is cool, so if I need extra pay I can probably just work through those trainings until I've got through all of them. My first official day of work is in a few days, and I'll be getting my schedule then. Plus my boss is willing to give me checks until I get a bank account set up, then I can switch to direct deposit.
I just gotta get the card set up. Which I've never done before. And I have to do over the phone.
I'll update here eventually. Toodles.
