It’s been a good couple of weeks. Nothing major to report. No news is good news.
I’ve decided against bitching about Walmart. It only leads to negative thoughts and I’ll be no better than the old ladies currently at the job — complaining ABOUT the job and the people in it — but not willing to move up and do anything about it.
I’ve taken a step toward leadership positions, taking a leadership assessment yesterday. As you know, the goal is to keep rising up in the company like I did before to pay off debt and school while going back for the degree. I expect to be an assistant manager in less than a year.
I think this time around, I’m going to go a notch higher than Assistant Manager this time around. Not necessarily store management, but something closer in the near 6-figures before Law School.
Thus far, I’m still ahead on my classwork. No issues to report and I’m happy.
It’s that feeling of being happy that I’m trying to keep active and ongoing. As a result, I’m noticing all those around me who are NOT happy. My wife is one of them. She’s someone who enjoys lying around in bed all-day and can be bitter/grumpy often. At one point, I was joining her in bed all-day — watching tv and pissed not having money to do anything. Then the decision to get out of bed, go back to school/Walmart/etc, etc…and here I am.
I did invite her to go back to school with me. Her student loans are in default like mine were. I told her she should find ways to get them out of default like I did but you know how that goes. She didn’t look enthused to do so.
I was actually hoping we would go back for our degrees together.
I hate to take an ‘oh well’ approach to my wife. I got my own stability to be concerned about. It’s going well NOW. Let’s see how things go when the classes get harder and I’m running a department or a group of departments.
Preparing for the future stress is more important than ever.
And yes, I still have my lexipro. LOL Just the damn things really upset my stomach. Maybe I need to start a regular taking of it to adapt like I did before. God, the first few weeks of that was killer and I don’t remember if it really assisted with the stability in the first place.
My bouts of depression occur randomly; maybe broken down to once a month. I know its a chemical thing. Just not sure what triggers it. Good news has been, since I started school and the job, I’ve been free and clear. There may be a connection in that. We’ll see.
