RhaenysBee Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Nobody shared their summer story yet. It's in the thread theme. :( Well, here goes mine. In June I had the last of my exams, some chill time, and I started working in a new job. Technically in my first real job. In July I worked for the most part, had a few meet ups with some friends, and helped one of them with a creative project. The friend majors in literature and creative writing, we took some photos to illustrate a story and I edited them. Then I had a tonsillectomy and have been recovering from that ever since. I'm kinda alright by now, though my energy level is still pretty low due to stress and weight loss and my stomach didn't thank me for all the painkillers I ate either. I'll be going on short vacation before I go back to work. The autumn semester doesn't start till mid September, but I don't have any other plans for the rest of the summer. The end.

BormonReborn Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Headaches are the bane of my existence too. One touch of nature makes the whole world kin Take care of yourself. Winds of Winter could be coming any day month year now , you need to be fit ! :) I am actually scheduled for a procedure and surgery to repair the problem in the next couple of months. Other than that my health is surprisingly good for a 45 year old. (but I am still 14 at heart! :devil: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they sort out the problem and soon. :cheers: Yeah, it was a pretty decent summer. I could do with more decent weather but other than that no complaints. ehhh, well I guess I too will reach a point in my life when I'll look back on uni years with a smile.

Adara Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I wish I could lie down. <whining> I was actually in the hospital most of last week. I am on all kinds of pain killers, but there are things at work that only I can do, and they are federally mandated that they get done. So I am at work.

I mean the first job happiness hit me a couple times and I did get some I'm-so-grown-up vibes but the reality is that this job alone isn't enough to afford myself. Admittedly, I'm quite reluctant to lower my living standard to this pay. The reason why I took it is because I need some substantial work experience for when I graduate and get a full time job and become financially independent (this is part time because I have school from September). it also helps to wean myself back onto a normal daily routine and learn some financial responsibility. It also comes with lots of musing about how absolutely horrible my country's economy is on every level, but I will spare the details so I won't bore you to death :lol: Sorry about the friends who left. You can still keep in touch though and they get to have many great experiences abroad and at MBA :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamSongs Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Ten PM here...I have a swing shift tomorrow (11AM-11PM). I just got back from grocery shopping and the co-op pick up. I scored 2 packs of baby back ribs, some gorgeous bone-in pork chops, a dozen free-range eggs, a sirloin steak, a New York strip, chicken wings and flash-frozen hand-made stuffed clams out of Jekyll Island, GA. From the grocery store, I bought some large pasta shells to stuff, spaghetti sauce, cottage cheese and italian four-cheese blend to make some quick, take to work meals. I also found some fabulous seed and rye bread out of Germany. Rhae...anything that shows you are working and able to be self-sufficient is always a winner. It takes time to climb that big mountain of LIFE! I'm glad that you are feeling better :grouphug: Bormon...getting old sucks! Take the time to get better so you can return to work as soon as possible. Yoga helps. King in Black...we :love: you too! Sorry Helena...we tried to go slow. That was one long walk! :) AK... :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: Adara, I'm glad that you are enjoying the new apartment! I just resigned my lease even though the complex decided to bring all the apartments up to market price. My rent goes up $109 on September 1 :tantrum: Oh well, still cheaper than moving. The new goal is to start saving to buy something. Bro...I missed you :grouphug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamSongs Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Meh...I called in sick. I just have to survive this weekend with my toxic night shift coworkers and then I am on vacation. Then I can learn to live like a normal human being again even if I have to deal with 'day' people. Funny how another year older can change your mind. This time last year, I couldn't wait to get back to night shift. I thought that I had hardened myself to those toxic people, but I was wrong. They stayed toxic and came 'cTlHoIsSe' to breaking me. Screw them...I am 15-20 years away from retirement and I can absorb the loss of several hundred dollars a month with planning. The money isn't worth my sanity or the lost time with my folks. Its a beautiful day TTTNE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=co6WMzDOh1o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
