Hi Tas, Primarch, L-4 and Gang,
Thanks for inquiring about my work situation. I really appreciate the concern.
My girlfriend, Diana, is a having a big health scare and may be facing surgery. Her health scare has competely changed who she is. After a weak of painful calls inw hich she clearly didn't want tos peak with me, I told her in easy terms to not feel obligated to speak to me unless she really wants to speak with me. We're now estranged.
It's only been a few days, but it hurts. I've been with her for several years now and our anniversary is coming up in February.
I didn't realize how lonely I'd be without her. We used to speak everynight and spend almost every weekend together and now I'm cut loose.

To be honest, it's not going well.
The State sometimes takes months to hire and I haven't even received receipt of my application yet. That's the usual situation too. Luckily I have friends on the inside so I just need to be patient.

In the mean time, I've signed up with a temp agency and am scanning the newspaper classifieds.
Even the local hospitals are pretty full. I haven't seen any ads for pharmacy jobs, but I know they're out there. I'm looking...
I'm hoping to go back to work with UC Davis Hospital.

Thanks!
It's very likely that in the next month or so, I'll accept a less desirable job until something better comes along. I may be a grocery cashier sooner rather than later.
Another spot of good news is that my roommate and I plan to move at the end of February or in early March. I've scouted out a place right across the street from his work and much closer to his girlfriend and Law School. He's attending.
For me, I hope to find a job closer to that apartment and the partment is much nicer than the one we're currently in for just a little bit more money in rent. The new apartment also has high-speed Internet (DSL) access, which both the roommate and I want. We're both ready to enter the 21rst century!
Another spot of good news is that I've had enough of my part-time work in the last month or so that I have working money to last me for awhile... and even a little left to play with. I'm hoping to buy a few Dark Realms Minis when Doug has them ready.
Mostly, I'm trying to keep my spirits up. When Dafrca called a few days ago, it was hard to keep a strong shoulder up for him. Poor guy. Last year was rough for him and this wasn't the best way to start this year.
I'm feeling a bit isolated without Diana. I don't regret my decision to leave some space for her while she deals with her health scare, but I sure do miss her. And she didn't want to include me in her dealing with her health scare so I wasn't doing anything. I even asked her how I could be supportive and she wouldn't talk to me. She kept calling me and I her out of habit, but I could see the writing on the wall. She needs to deal with her health scare and figure out what she wants. I'm unfortunately not included in that. It sucks.
Well, at any rate, I have a lot of hope for this year. I have a plan to move ahead and the mans to take care of business until things pick up again.
I also have three solid New Years Resolutions:
1. PROFESSIONAL: Get a better job.
2. PERSONAL: Develop and publish Planetfall.
3. HOBBY: Work on the 6mm city terrain for sci-fi and kaiju / giant monster games.
I just need to keep foccussed on the sunny side...
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
