Get a better paying job (read all 2 entries…)
I got layed off... 2 years ago

I got layed off on 12/21/06. I hated my job and was possibly quitting, so it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I get to collect unemployment while looking for something better. Problem is…I have no clue what kind of job to look for. I have a bachelor’s degree in graphic design and am not sure that design is for me. Not to mention there aren’t many jobs in design out in the boondocks, where I live.

I am so sick of boring jobs with crappy pay.



switch to apple
I'm on the fence 3 years ago

I bought a G5 powermac after graduating from college because I’m a graphic designer. Most designers use macs. Why? I’m not sure, most likely because the interface is prettier. Perhaps awhile ago PC’s were less advanced than macs at running graphics applications. At this point though it seems PC’s and macs are on an equal playing field.

I think the mac is a lot more user friendly than a pc and a lot prettier as well. However I hate browsing the web on my mac because a lot of sites don’t work. Also I’m not able to use certain programs on my mac like Microsoft Money. So I’m actually considering a switch back to pc.



get through my quarter-life crisis
What's the point? 3 years ago

So I’ll be 25 in December and I have no idea what the point of living is. In reality this is more like 1/3 life crisis because who really makes it to 100 and who wants to? As I look back on my life I realize it has all been a complete waste.

My dad is a drug addict and had some serious rage issues. My mom is his enabler and always chose him over us. So I was basically left to learn that I could only rely on myself.

I already have soo many regrets and things don’t seem like they can be fixed. I’m not happy nor have I ever been happy. I missed out on the college experience by living at home. I’ve had friends but i realize none of them have been true friends and I don’t have any friends now. I don’t really have any hobbies and I’m bored to hell with my life. So I ask what is the point?

It seems like I should be thinking about marriage and babies now and I’m not ready for that. I’m getting older and desperately wishing I could go back and do the past over. So where does that leave me? Lost.
