Wrap-up<\/em><\/p>\n

The Saints lost to the Cowboys last night.\u00a0 I don’t know if anyone could have, to be honest.\u00a0 For the game, I’d give the Cowboys a D+, the Saints an D-, and the officials an F.\u00a0 In the disgusting hypothetical of being a Cowboys’ fan, a win’s a win.<\/p>\n

Somehow I’ve misplaced some of my entries.\u00a0 More.\u00a0 Again.\u00a0 It’s as if I really suck at managing things.\u00a0 But two wrap-ups — 2012<\/a>, and 2013<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don’t really know if the separation between the mood of the two entries is evident.\u00a0 Though I was a bit discontented in 2012, things really sucked in 2013.\u00a0 In 2012, my future was really uncertain after there’d been a big change to the contract I was working on had been substantially modified.\u00a0 In 2013, I was fully suffering the effects of that.\u00a0 I got laid off towards the end of January 2013, and signed on with the four-letter company for roughly 80% of what I’d been earning previously.\u00a0 Since I wasn’t able to travel, either, my salary had really been flat since 2010.\u00a0 2009 was the year I earned the most money, but I spent probably eight of those twelve months working 60-hour weeks.<\/p>\n

In no time at all, that was all gone.\u00a0 I didn’t help matters by drinking away my discomfort.<\/p>\n

I haven’t, and there’s a good chance never will, recovered.<\/p>\n

What’s weird, though, is despite my conversion to cleaner living, I still lack time and energy to do things really enjoyable.<\/p>\n

Or maybe I don’t care about that because I am actually busy doing things I find interesting.<\/p>\n

But I do need a break.\u00a0 And a shave.\u00a0 And a haircut.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
