I am still here, like I said last time. Its just work has been a drain, but one good thing about work is that for my lunch and breaks, I can read from the site....well, kinda. I mean not on their wifi because this site is listed as porn on their wifi.
Well, I am still around. I am now working the pets department as a stocker, so when I go home, I am beat and I wanted to put this out a few days ago, but I was so tired. Now that Christmas will be over in a few hours, I have decided to get some things out. The first will be a check up on Lisa from my story Of Snow, little girls and Angels.
I am working on Tracy stuff and I know, people were not into the Halloween stuff, but I will show how things got that bad.
Tempted to put out a Tracy Christmas thing, but it may not be done until tomorrow or the next day.
I am still around, I've just been busy. At work we've lost all of the new people (4 in a month, 2 of them in just one week)and one older person. So I am working Sundays stocking the pets department. I have also been getting a ton of overtime, thankfully I can get my bills under control now. I hope that it all evens out after Christmas, but for the next few weeks, my schedule will change weekly.
I don't recall much, other than the main character is able to switch from male to female, works in a store as a piano player and is the witness to a crime and the criminal is looking for the male side, but is hitting on the female side. Any ideas?
And it was on this site, I do believe, but I could be wrong
So as you may remember, I got a new job at the end of July and started on the 30th of that month. Well about 2 weeks ago, they told us that we had to do an orientation thing, where they could tell us all about our job, show us where everything is and stuff like that. Like I haven't learned where all the stuff I need is at after a month there.
I never got to reading it, but I wanted to. The only thing I know of on the story is it was on this site and had a picture of a little girl in a field of flowers, arms stretched out and her back slightly arched. if I recall right, there were several chapters, but I can't recall the name
My background check came back all clear so I had to do some paper work this after noon. Tonight, I get to go in and work on the computer, doing tests on safety, harassment and other issues and maybe get a crash course in the store. So wish me luck. I have been up since 6 am and may be up till 6 am when I get home.
So as a yay go me, I am posting a new chapter to Through the years.
Got called at noon for an interview at 2. As of 3 this afternoon, I am employed again. Just got to wait for background check to return. Now to get those bills under control again
Well I had interview #2 yesterday. And while talking to the nice lady, I learned that I wasn't the only one that guy forgot to set up appointments for. Heck, he even sent people who were there for an interview home, so they had to return last night. I think it went well and they sent my app onto store manager, so now the waiting game for her to call me.
As some of you know, I have been looking for work and may have found a job that can work with me and how I really hate dealing with people face to face. I have applied for 3rd shift (or graveyard for you West coast people) GM (general merchandise) stocking at a Meijers near the house. For those who don't know, Meijers is a Michigan based company, like Walmart, but nicer to their employees, or so former workers have said.
This past week, there was a message Rachel not being heard from in a While. I had actually asked Sephrena about her because I had heard nothing in some time and noticed she had not commented on stuff since January.
Well, I send a message to Rachel and got a response and she is still here. Now to hear back from Trapper
I am still alive, but I have been busy. I have been searching for a job and not finding anything. I also don't own a car, so I walk everywhere. So when I get home I am tired and don't write. I also am running out of money, so my stress is starting to rise.
I will try and get something Tracy related out soon, but no promises. I have a lot of stuff half done, but currently going back over and changing stuff and also dealing with the thoughts that it may just be too weird.
Like the title says, its been two years since I first joined. I don't recall my first comment, but I came to this site through the stories "shoes" and the ones that followed it. I was going to try and have a bunch ready and post daily this week, but looking for work has cut into writing time. But I should have something later today or tomorrow
Thanks to everyone for keeping this site going and making people like me get our stories out there
I have started posting the bios for through the years. I will post the major and minor character bio sheets and updating them through out the next few weeks. Then I shall add links to other stories and the back stories in the bios. So this way I can keep track of my cast of thousands.
I have been working on the next few parts of Through the years when I got sidetracked. It happens really easy to me. But one day I was busy typing something out and I thought....
I have been working on getting another chapter out, but with looking for work, dealing with being sick, twice, and the emotions that have come up after the funeral, I find it hard to write at times. Hopefully I will get something out soon.
I am back and working on some ideas for Through the years and I was wondering a simple question. Does anyone recall the cut off age that someone had to be under to join the military in 1983-1984? Would be the reserves, but I just wondered what the age is. I know it is 42 now, but not sure about 30 years ago. Also would they take someone after that age if they had been in service just a decade earlier, even if they are over the age limit by say a year?
Made it home,safe and sound. For those who was going to travel across the USA and go from either Emeryville to Chicago, or Chicago to Emeryville, I recommend Amtrak. I learned many things, like Ottumwa, Iowa is a real town. I always thought it was made up for MASH. Boy was I wrong.
The trip had one bad note, I left my phone in my dad's van and realized it as he go on the highway, so he has to mail it to me now. But other then that, I am home and time to go to bed and relax.
So I am about to leave California and the past two weeks have been hard. I actually found out from an aunt something that I had suspected for a few years, after hearing my mom talk to someone when she thought I was out of the house. I may have a sibling, other then my brother and sister who died at 3 days old. I guess mom got pregnant before she was 18 and the baby went to adoption. So now comes the fun of looking for a sibling.
Had the viewing today and that was hard. I have taken the keys from Dad and I am driving for him. The funeral is tomorrow. The train right was good and looking at setting the departure date. Was hard to hear my father, who has been so strong all my life, break down at the viewing.
Tomorrow I am going to be help as best as possible, so pray for the family, and thank you.
So I thought I would have some enjoyment in this sad trip and relate my travels. Got on the train and all was well, till we stopped in Battle Creek Michigan and they had to call the fire department for an electrical fire in one of the cars. Almost an hour later we left. Got to one station and they missed it by a block or two. Had to back up to get people.almost to Chicago and with the fact we are late, it shortens my wait in union station, that is good.
I just heard from my brother. My mother passed away this morning at 1:15, PST. I want to thank all of those who prayed and thought the good thoughts. Thank you all very much.
I would normally not do this, but I am asking a simple request. I just found out my mother is dying from cancer and there is a possiblility she may not make through the night. I understand if it is her time, The good Lord will take her, but what I am asking is for prayer. Not just for her but my father too.
On this, the eve before the big day, I felt it good to remind others of my religion, Chocolatarian. Remember, this religion can smoothly blend in with other chewy religions. Sometimes it provides us with a tasteful blend of guilt and joy, other times it ends up like that chocolate....you know the stuff. The stuff you give to five year olds because it tastes so nasty. This religion blends with them all. Even ones with caramel and coconut. On this, the eve of the day of the fat chocolate giving man, we must all remember to be good to each other.
can't recall much, other then it's a boy, who wants to be a girl but as the story progresses, it is found out that he had been born intersexed and at 1 or 2 the family decided he should be a boy. and his sister knew of him as a girl and the father leaves, but comes back in the end
Mom has had her surgery. They removed a tube or something, was hard to follow my Dad because he wasn't sure what all they had done either. She is doing okay, but they have more to do to her. So thank you for the prayers and hopefully the rest of her operations will go as smoothly.
I will try to get more Through the years out soon.
