Hello!! *waves frantically*

I understand the frustrations on the job front.

We went through a bit of a reorg late last year and I despise my new role. I am actively job hunting, too. Hang in there! There are seasons in life of change and it appears you're in one of those seasons!

Things'll all work out in the end. As I always say: "Don't stress out about life, no one makes it out alive anyways"

I just realized I forgot to update here!!

I got a job in February and I really love this job. I’m a “Consumer Relations Specialist” (fancy!!) for the Freestyle Libre glucose system. It’s one of the more easier jobs I’ve done and there’s a lot of room for advancement. Of course, life being what it is, I’ve been sick on and off the last 3 weeks. I went to the ER on Friday and I found out I’ve been passing kidney stone fragments!!  I’m sooooo lucky I wasn’t sicker than I was. I’m still not feeling 100% yet, so I’m seeing the doctor tomorrow. Oh and good news: my health insurance starts on May 1st! I’m so excited about that. Lol So overall things have improved soooooo much and we finally were able to get WiFi so now it will be easier for me to be active here. I can’t be on while I’m at work because they are really strict about internet usage there. But I finally have a job I really enjoy with benefits so I’m not complaining!!

I hope everyone else is doing well, I’ve missed all of you!

Congrats on the FTE job! I know it's been a long time coming.

Good luck with the health and kidney stones! Gotta stay healthy!

Hey!  That's great!  I'm glad to see things are looking up, even if there are a few stones weighing you down.

I wasn't sure if you were meaning to be punny but it made me laugh. Hehe! 

I do have more good news! I've been trying to get a new car for a year, with not much success. (I had a Kia Soul for about 10 days, but then they said they needed more of a down payment which I didn't have so I had to give it back  I was very sad about the whole thing.) Anyway, last week I was able to get a 2018 Ford Focus! It was used as a demo so it had 2500 miles but because it never had an owner it's still new. I used to have a Ford Fiesta and I had an excellent history with Ford with that car and even paid it off early. So even though my credit isn't great right now because of my past payment history I was able to finally able to get a new car! I'm so happy because I drive an hour to work and my old car had lots of issues and I was always worried about breaking down on this very wooded road I go down. So now I feel safe and happy and I have roadside assistance!

I'm so glad things are starting to look up for me. Now I just need to stop getting sick and I'll be golden! Time to get a CT decal! Hehe!
