So, it’s been a while since I’ve had any content to write in here – perhaps because my life has felt devoid of content and without making this a total “woe-is-me” blog, I’ve just decided to stay quiet.
But, here’s a couple of good things going on here:
- I still have a job. I literally had to re-interview for it back in February. It was down to me and a coworker who has been with the company for 3 years and somehow I managed to survive. I’m not entirely sure how, but I’m not questioning it – I’m going to just keep doing the best I can and keep my head into a career I’m still pretty in love with.
- I’m on a decent path for the NCIDQ in October. I was hoping to take the ASID Step Class in May, but there’s another one being offered in August and I think that will be the one I end up taking. In the interim, I’ve signed up for 2 brush-up classes at my former college and should find out soon if I’ll actually be able to take them or not (they take the paying students first, of course). I also purchased a study guide that has practice tests at the end of every chapter – I’ve copied all of them and try to do a couple of them per week, cold-turkey, without reading anything in the book – just to see how I do. I’m running at about 50% correct, which means there is certainly room for improvement.
- My love-life is still non-existant, except that I have been on a few dates. While neither guy (there were 2 for a little while) turned into anything romantic, it was still nice to get out of the house and have a little bit of positive male attention.
I’m still really trying to work my way out of this funk that started around mid-December and the promise of Spring (aside from the snow yesterday) seems to be helping my mood.
