Big Bear Update

Long time no type...

From the good news dept
I started a new job Monday as a customer service representative for AVTS. We are the authorized repair depot for Apollo Presentation products.

I like my job. It’s challenging with all the details of all the different products and options...but at the same time, there are long stretches of nothing. I don’t mind the occasional breather where you get a surprise 15 minutes to catch your breath...but those 15s and 30s....a few times a day...and it’s utterly distressing. May through July is our slow season...which is good as it will let me learn everything while we are slow. I should have the product line, pricing, and all that down solid by the end of the summer.

Beyond that, I’m moving out to Elgin this weekend. If you have my cell number, you know how to get ahold of me. Hopefully, I’ll have Comcast out before Sunday so I’ll not be without internet at all.

From the bad news dept
The last week or so, I’ve felt very lonely. I think part of it was hanging out with :: Brian last week. It reinforced that I had pushed him too hard but yet I do have feelings for him. I’d like a chance to actually date him without the pushing, but I think I killed that chance.

I’ve also come to realize that I really have very few friends here in Chicago. People I thought were friends have turned out not to be. I think that’s part of the reason I want to move back to Minnesota. I had friends there. Yes, they are still my friends, but it’s not the same when you can’t hang out with them or meet up for a cuppa.

Overall...
I feel like I’m finally making that new start that I’ve been needing to make.

I’m moving to Elgin and rooming with someone that I don’t have a romantic interest in...
I have a new job which is going well so far.

Just gotta get my shit together...and I think I’m finally getting it done.
