MFKN Raistlin's blog: "Shirak"

So yes, it seems as if I am going to actually stay this time. Well at least until I use all my bling credits anyways. hahaha I even went so far as to submit a salute. :P
 
I figured I would write some kind of blog to let all of you know why I left over a year ago, and what I have been upto in the mean time. At the time that I left, I had just started a new job with Walmart, and  really needed to focus on me at that point and rebuilding a real life for myself. I was selling wireless phones, and I actually did keep that job for an entire year. I now loathe working in retail, and left the company back in early June. The reason I left is that my yearly review came back that I was punctual, hard-working, and that I always completed my tasks, but was undeserving of a raise. That is Sam's house of ill repute for you though.

I was nice and gave them a three weeks notice, and at that point packed up, and attempted to move back to Florida. This time I chose Pensacola beach because I needed a bit of the gulf of Mexico. I freaking loved it down there between the white sands, and the clear waters. I even had the pleasure of having two Manta Rays swim around my feet  one day. It was so magickal. I also happened to meet a man down there (from Kentucky of all places) and thought I had met my best friend. He and I were roomies for about a month, but I saw that I was being used, so I chose to leave. I was paying all the bills and he was the one with a job at that point, so yeah. Life goes on though.

I came back to Kentucky, and found a full time job with a catering company called Taher. We do the food service for an Alluminum plant in this area. I have been with this company about a month now actually and love it. I am the full time night shift grill cook there. I am in charge of the grill, deep fryer, and whatever happens to be our entree for the evening. It is actually a decently classy joint for the most part. I make a dollar more an hour than I made with Walmart, and the drive is half of what I was doing with Sam. So it is an improvement all around. It had been years since I had done any kind of food service, but I work with some great people. :)

I also am saving to move back to Pensacola. I had the good fortune to meet a Facebook friend while down there, and she has a house there. She gave me an open invitation to come down there at tax time, and stay with her while I look for work. She said she would put me to work with some baby-sitting for her toddler Legion to cover my rent while I do so. She had actually moved back to Pensacola back in June when I went down there.  We hung out at the beach, had a bushwhacker, and played around with her son in the waves. Then we went out for some real seafood. I bought the snow crab, and she got the sea food platter. We split our food, and had more food than the two of us could eat.

Yeah, I think I have accomplished the real life thing. Not to mention I have some Wiccan and pagan friends that live locally that I met working at Wally World. I am also getting in shape right now. I was 202 pounds back in July, and am now down to 187 pounds. I do a lot of navy seal ab workouts when I get in from work at night, and ride an exercise bike when I have time.


Anyways, thanks for reading, and much love to everyone. (h) <3

P.S. I still need a fuhubby if you know anyone that might be interested. I will pay for it on the 31st when I get paid.
