Thought I’d try a new font.
Today I begin my blog with a confession, not to my readers but to myself: I drive far too recklessly on my motorcycle. There is no reason for it, and it is incredibly dangerous, yet I continue to do it. I think I’m going to try and stop, simply so people will stop warning me about it. And I suppose for my own safety as well. And here I am contemplating getting an even faster bike. Perhaps I will never learn.
My new job seems to only get better as time progresses. The little perks continue to make an appearance, my coworkers have been very welcoming and helpful, and the work itself is moderately complex with a low level of difficulty. So far my only complaint is simultaneously my own fault: apparently I work too fast. I have had two different supervisors compliment me on how quickly I am catching on and how efficient I am, but one of them actually told me to slow down because I was finishing my work faster than they could generate more for me to do. But in my opinion, I would rather be too fast and be a little bored than not be fast enough and make a bad impression on my direct superiors. I should also keep in mind that the real work hasn’t fully started yet and I am still finishing up training. I have been told that once training is over, I will have a slightly steadier workflow, but only time will tell. The pay helps too.
God has been with me multiple times and in multiple ways lately, in very noticeable ways. And for that, I am thankful. Oftentimes I feel that I take God’s love and presence for granted. He has given me so much and protected me from so many dangers, and most of the time I don’t even acknowledge or thank him for it. I have no other excuse other than my lack of true commitment to my faith. And that is something that I need to strengthen above all else. Prayers from my readers would be appreciated.
My apologies if my blogs tend to skip subjects several times in a single post. My mind is constantly doing the same, and it’s one of the only ways I am able to write at all.
The next stage in my life is a bit of a scary one: it’s finally time for me to move out and be completely independent. And that means finding my own place to live. Given my expensive tastes in basically everything, I am trying my absolute hardest to avoid moving into an apartment, and if I can help it, I don’t even want to have a roommate. It’s nothing personal, I simply just do better when my living space is entirely my own, and I think that’s true for anyone. Correct me if I’m wrong. Because of this, I believe I am going to buy a house by the end of the year. Nothing big or fancy of course, because I can’t afford it and simply don’t need it. Just something decent that isn’t falling to pieces and has a garage that can fit my car and bike is really all I’m asking for, so if any of my readers happen to see or hear of a good deal on a decent, smaller house in the Madison/Ridgeland area, don’t hesitate to let me know.
I suppose I’ve wasted enough of your time at this point. And now it is time for me to go find some work to do, if there is any left.
Much love, my friends.
