Okay, this is just a general notice to anyone who is considering or has urged me to seek other employment:

I work hard, and I work a lot. That doesn't mean I hate my job.

I'm not earning a 6-figure income. Money doesn't drive me.

I grumble from time to time about things that happen at work. Every job will be that way.

I'm just getting really tired of everyone suggesting that because I'm not driving a brand new car and because I have to live by a budget that I need to find a "better" job. I'm happy where I am, even though it's not the greatest pay in the world, and even though the position has its headaches.

Furthermore, just because several of my peers are moving on to other places of work, it doesn't mean I need to as well. They are finding that there is a position elsewhere that will better suit their needs; That doesn't mean it will suit my needs.

So please, stop urging me to leave my job because you think I'm unhappy.

I have successfully moved into my new apartment, and I am pretty happy with it so far. The only problem is that with larger living spaces comes greater feelings of loneliness. I don't really understand it, but it's just a part of the human mind, I guess.

I have found myself just wandering the apartment for no reason, and I think deep down inside I have been hoping that there would be some sort of companion(roommate or otherwise) sitting in front of the TV when I got out of bed in the morning. What's funny about that is the fact I love my privacy, and I love not having to work around someone else's schedule.

<creepy_schizophrenia> This evening I was on my way home from a friend's place, and for a split second I saw a woman sitting next to me in the car. When I took a second look though, she was gone. Is this my body, my soul, crying out for a life partner? If so, where the heck do I even start? If not, I suppose I should be calling the local psychiatrist and scheduling an evaluation. </creepy_schizophrenia>

It's just so confusing right now, and I don't know what to do about it. I guess I'll just keep on what I do every week: This.
