Salutations to my readers, whomever you might be.
I send customary greetings for the past holidays since I last wrote and currently wish you a happy and kosher Passover.
And now onto business: Several changes in my life have occurred. Firstly, for those of you that know I work in the restaurant business, I have finally made it past two and a half years in service. I currently have accumulated two years and eight months with my company. The only positive thing that I have received from my job (apart from the required payment) is a $1000 scholarship. Unfortunately for me, I have neither had the joy of receiving a bonus nor a promotion, and have thus decided that if my management does not turn from the current course, I will give them another four months of service before I resign. I do not have any ideas of what I will do after this, for the economy is difficult, and I doubt that I currently have the resources or qualifications to compete with other applicants from the public and private corporate sectors, as well as the new university graduates. Oh well. A lesson in macroeconomics, I suppose.
Secondly, I have begun the next part of my scholastic endeavours. I have enrolled myself in a local community college. Thus far in the semester, I am doing well enough. But if I were to focus my efforts on completing the assigned tasks instead of doing nothing, I would do better. It would also benefit me to study for tests.
But that is irrelevant (in my reality). For, as always, I have met a new object of my affections.
She is a member of one of the extracurricular clubs that I am a member of. She is quite pretty, and smart. I have found out in the past two or three days that she is a high school senior in the ACCELL Program (duel enrollment, I assume). This surprises me, for I had always thought that she was a first year college student as myself. Perhaps these are some of the reasons that I find so much disappointment in life. But then again, experts cite that most relationships are between an older man and a younger lady....Perhaps there is hope after all. Alas, blondes are a vice of mine.
Side note: for those who know her, I have apologized to Kuro Ookami. We even began establishing an acquaintanceship. We met for a coffee with her boyfriend and Mike near her house. Sadly, her parents knew nothing of this, and when they found out they punished all of us by cutting communications between myself and her, her and Mike (or at least, reduced communications), and I am sure that her boyfriend simply felt guilt. But the thing of note is that she is no longer angry with myself.
I have obtained funding for personal business cards. While they are simply for jest (my job is not one that needs business cards, after all), I have given them out at times. I have enjoyed the sensation, since I perceive having business cards to be one of the positive traits of being a good business man. If my readers cross my path, and it strikes your fancy, do not hesitate to ask for a card. I have plenty.
And despite this, one of my managers has forbidden me to pass them out because it makes people "wonder if [I] am O.K." Unfortunately for her, I cannot comply because that infringes on my freedom of speech. I shall, naturally, remove all traces of the restaurant from my cards before handing them out again, but handing out business cards falls under my freedom of speech, does it not?
The time is currently 0948 Zulu. I have not obtained total subconsciousness since 1300 Zulu yesterday. My body must regenerate.
I bid all beneficial tidings until our next meeting.
