Been busy as a beaver...

Been busy as a beaver...

It's been an interesting few months.

I know I haven't posted in a while, but since I last posted, I recently got hired working as a contractor for a major company right now, and since then, it's been non-stop work. Which is good, but my normal life has been curtailed a bit, so I've been focusing on nothing but work and my .

On a good front, I'm playing catch-up with my bills. I wish I was making more money, but something is better than nothing. Also, the people I'm working for have been exceptionally impressed with my work, so I can't complain. So much so, that I figure if I keep up the good work, I'm hoping that they will end up hiring me as a permanent full time employee rather than me being a contractor.

The only downside is that I haven't had a day off since I started in late March. But it's solid work, with opportunity for OT, and I can't complain about that.

In family life, now that I'm getting a regular paycheck, the ex isn't on my backside about paying the bills as much. And I've been able to knock down back payments to her regarding the and used the extra cash I've been making to help get them the clothes they need for summer and for school next year. Which is cool.

The nice thing is that my don't seem stressed anymore about dad being out of work, and I think that's the most important thing. As long as this work holds out, I think I'll be good, and the cool thing for work is that I could be working here for a solid year and still not run out of work to do. In short, work keeps coming, and I can keep paying my bills down and keep my happy.

Personal life however...well, trying to find someone has been highly difficult. Dating websites have been rough. I keep getting people to where I like them on the site, then they match up with me, and then when I type a nice, polite message to say hello and introduce myself, I get no reply back. It's like the women freeze up and they don't know how to handle a man saying hello. It's ridiculous.

So for now, all I've been doing is trying to focus on myself and if something happens, cool, but I'm not pushing for anything to happen. Anyways...I'm back posting, at least for now. Hopefully I'll get a sense of normality soon, whatever that is I guess. My life hasn't been normal in a long time. The worst is being alone. I can handle work life, but being alone...man it stinks. I hope one day I can find someone. Until then, I guess it's back to work.

Good to see you back. That regular paycheck is a good thing. Hang in there you'll find someone or they will find you.

Alone is not so bad but lonely is a whole different ballgame.
Stay focused on the positives.

btw - "busy as a beaver" kinda depends on whose beaver you're talking about!

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

Thanks super! I've been trying to do just that.
