25 male. I had a roommate for the last year but now I'm about to try living on my own for the first time. I'll be living right down the street from my grandmother who raised me more than either of my parents. I move out in a week. I've spent my last 4 lunch hours getting all of it sorted out along with the car I just bought.
I recently got a fairly nice job at a telco doing help desk work (which I enjoy) but it's not a typical call center / customer service thing - I have direct access to our SCCM and AD servers. I have access via proprietary software to many many other services, software, applications, servers, etc. I get to troubleshoot without very much concern for time limits. The management and organization at this company are incredible - There's flaws, but it's still very impressive.
I'm hoping that this company will be the gateway I've been looking for to server or system admin. Unfortunately I'm just a contractor - I'm already making some waves I think so hopefully I'll be able to get hired on eventually. I have a lot of knowledge but tons to learn still.
I'm in the Army Guard and FINALLY soon to be out in under a year. I'm so fucking done with it. Joining the Guard instead of going active is my biggest regret right now... but I did it so that I could still be around my family. I had JUST gotten back from being out of state for 5 years when I joined so it was a lot harder to make a decision to go away again.
My mother owes me $2500 from a student loan I took 7 years ago. She promised to pay $5000 but she only took $2500 from me. She's a complete mess of a human being. I want nothing to do with her. I finally told her that I don't want her money because it's not worth hearing her excuses month after month. Her response was to insult and berate me. She is medically crazy and I used to feel bad... but her illness doesn't make her a horrible person. She's just a horrible person.
My love life is nonexistent and I don't really mind. I've got too much of my own shit to get a handle on. My goal in the new apartment is a new routine. Cut down on junk food and bad eating habits. Lose 20 lbs. Hit the local gym. Cut back on alcohol consumption. This is going to be a total overhaul on my personal life and routine... and it starts very soon.
