With that a load fell off my shoulders that I'd finally be able to break free of this depressing situation, but I'm also a bit anxious what the new company and projects will be like (since it's a bit different and all, other hours and locations, changing every x months). - I'm not the adventurous type, hence. (Getting cold feet already, lol.)


Wow, good luck with the new job.
It makes me wonder what you do... of course, you don't have to answer that.

Well, I'm almost at that point between college and finding a job, and it's really something that makes me worry...- it's hard, scary , and nerve-wracking. Especially, where I live, landing a good job is almost impossible unless your knowledgable in the trade or have the skills for it. (meaning social skills, which is something I'm also bad at irl...)

I assume changing jobs/companies/line of work must feel the same way?
Like starting over again...

Thanks you guys. :)

I work in IT, right now at first line helpdesk. So basically we reception problems or change requests from users of several companies, some things we can do ourselves, other things we send to the correct people though a myriad of different tools. I like several parts of that line work, I like working with computers and learning new things and it can be rewarding being able to help people. Now I hope this new job will enable me to learn more and actually be able to actively do more to resolve the issues people encounter.

It can be frightening indeed, most likely to me because I'm the kind of person who -needlessly- worries about such things. I guess better for one's health and happiness is to worry/stress less and have a more relaxed attitude with self-confidence.
Kind of not worrying about crossing a bridge upcoming ahead on your path but simply crossing the bridge when you get to it.

Hope you like the new job Smithy. I find that having a relaxed atmosphere at work makes me a happier person in general.

Don't worry too much about it bob-omb. Its just part of your desensitization training.

Apparently someone cast summon tornado on Plano today. Today might get interesting. If I suddenly don't post anymore that means they finally got me.

Ah. Thats what you were watching. Yeah thats pretty messed up that a 9 year old would laugh at that. Someone should probably keep an eye on that kid. Its horrible what some people will do to each other in the name of religion.

Thanks Tavernknight. Yes, you're absolutely right! :)
Although the team I work(ed) in has a good atmosphere the rest just wasn't bearable anymore, I felt like I was slowly dying on the inside...
I decided I want to do interesting work in a nice atmosphere, I myself will work at making me happy and being a happy person by working hard (but not overburdening myself), trying to be stressfree and stand by my principles. Making something good myself.
From what I saw in the photo thread your job looks pretty nifty too! I'm a fairly detailed and organized person and I'm kind of keen any of the future projects would have some hands on work on hardware. I've always liked working on PC's.

Bob-omb, that does sound horrible indeed... humans can do cruel things to eachother and to boot others can so easily not care at all about it.

Bah, you know... I really love my parents. But sometimes, and I mean a lot of times, they can just do things that upset me. For example, my mother was having a fight with my brother this morning, and then one of the dogs (a puppy) entered the house so fast (and they're not supposed to go inside the house) and met my cat- I don't even have to explain what happened next. She then proceeded to take out her anger on the puppy, hitting her and yelling, and I tried to stop her: yelling at her to stop, that it wasn't the puppy's fault. The result? She ended up taking her anger out at me, as if I was the one doing the wrong thing at the time.

It really hurts when something like that comes from someone you love. I had so many things planned for today (including studying) but I felt a mix of anger and sadness, and I ended up doing nothing.

I then opened the Singing Thread here. And I gotta say, that brightened my day. What made me happy wasn't the praise I got... of course I'm thankful for that, but what really makes me happy is to see people actually liking something I did- rarely in this house someone acknowledges the things I do, and I always do my best, especially at school...

So, I feel like I should thank you guys from Shuu. If you weren't so nice and I didn't feel good around you, I would never share my songs with you- because you know, I'm very nervous about that stuff. So, thank you ^^ You cheered me up, with so little.

*hugs AngelLily* Sorry to hear about your puppy and the fight with your mother.

Admirable that you still remember that you love your mother even in bad situations while other people normally just say "my parents suck" or something immature out of anger.

Canis-oneechan: Sometimes I have this impulse, but it doesn't last long. I was well-raised by them, I would never say I hate them...

Oh, and you guys know? As if the fight with my mother wasn't enough, today I had to wake up at 7:30 am to finish a project. It's due today.

Why so late, you guys might wonder? It isn't my fault. I did my part. But one of my partners oh-so-wonderfully decided not to do their part, and gave me the text to type up AT THE LAST MINUTE POSSIBLE. That was so fun.

And then people wonder why I'm rude...

Sorry to hear you had such a bad start of the day AngelLily, hopefully your mother is able to get over her anger (and/or issues) so that you guys can get along better again.

I spoke to her normally during lunch today. I guess things will go back to "Oh, she's my daughter, it's not like she'll stay mad at me for long, so I don't need to apologize".

In any case, I finished the project (and am really anxious about it, wondering if it's good or not), so I guess I'll wash the dishes and relax a bit. ^^

I wish you all the good luck Lily-chan!

I'm sorry about the fight, but the thing about family is that eventually things calm down because you realize you're stuck with each other.

Today I am at work, I still haven't fully decided whether or not I like it here, but the fact they hired someone else to take some of the work load off me is very nice.

Smithy I totally understand about working somewhere that was comfortable, but it felt like your soul was being sucked away, I worked somewhere like that for 3 years.

I wish I posted on this topic more, but I always forget about it (hehe)

I am happy today though because I get to see my BF, and I'm also happy that the RP forum is as successful as it is, and thanks everyone for not flaming me on my little rant.
