Another Summer writing period finished, and tomorrow I embark on the final year of, to quote Oscar Santana, my douchebag thirties.<\/p>\n
All apologies if I kind of seemed off-in-space on these.\u00a0 As I said, I really do wonder if a big part of what I was doing was because I was so miserable.<\/p>\n
I just got off the phone with a recruiter trying to get me back in to where I was for the bad situation in Norfolk.\u00a0 I doubt I’ll have any opportunity, but that I’m even willing to consider it is evidence of how much I was fucked up.<\/p>\n
Was it better than what I was dealing with the first round in the icebox?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Was it good?\u00a0 Fuck no.\u00a0 But that there’s no do-not-consider note, and that I might reciprocate says a lot.<\/p>\n
At the same time, I am more than satisfied with where I am, now.<\/p>\n
What a change from last year.<\/p>\n
And just as I started to rank things, I quit.<\/p>\n
2015 I was broke.<\/p>\n
2016 I was working like a dog, getting treated like shit, and my health was about to go off-the-rails.\u00a0 (My first hospital stay was in September of that year….)<\/p>\n
2017 I was unemployed, after a few more unsuccessful months in the blast chiller.<\/p>\n
2018, well, read some of what I’ve written this month, and you decide.<\/p>\n
But I did it.\u00a0 All finished.\u00a0 Now time to celebrate some, I suppose.<\/p>\n
Or watch John Brennan backing down from his treason claims as fast as he fucking can.<\/p>\n
But Rachel Maddow will back them all up, so it’ll be okay.<\/p>\n
Pfft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
