• The Path to My Dream Job - Chapter 4

    So this should be the conclusion where I tell you about my happy ending and how I managed to get a coveted full-time government position when the economy sucked. Wrong. At first, like anything else that is new to a person’s life, it was very exciting and interesting. After all, I had never wor…
  • Just a Quickie: What's More Important to You?

    There's usually a fairly divided group when it comes to settling down after high school or college. A large number of us may have career plans that we refuse to alter, regardless of whether or not we meet "the one." Still, many of us may not give a damn what we're doing or where we're living so lon…
  • Not a good day today.

    JDN 2456061 EDT 13:38. Felt a sudden onset of depression today. Slight headache this morning, as usual. It hit very suddenly, feelings of sadness and hopelessness I wasn't expecting.

  • It takes a few drones to make an Ultralisk

    Been thinking a lot about my career's future. I love what I do; fixing computers, problem solving, and all that tech-related goodness. But, I feel like I want to do so much more.

  • Moving out... and moving in

    Just as planned, I've created a new blogsite. It's going to be kind of different though. Not like this xanga blog where I rave and rant. It's going to be more formal - functional.

  • The Path to My Dream Job - Chapter 1

    Undergrad had come and gone, but fortunately for me, the following factors were playing in my favor: My parents were happy to have me home (which alleviated the pressure of me quickly finding a job). I got along with my parents just fine, so Perk #1 was not going to really interfere with my indepen…
  • Appreciate What I Got Now

    I just finished seeing my counselor today and she pointed out something that my other members of my current support team has been echoing for a while. That I do a lot even though the effects of my actions are limited AND that I need to look at what I do. So what I should look at is that I work harde…
