Driving.


Today was a turning point, or sorts. I drove to work while alone in the car. Yup, the lovely girlfriend/fiancĂ© was not present and I was alone behind the wheel. Nothing really special occurred; it was just the first time I’ve really driven while alone. I didn’t have someone to ask little questions to like ‘Am I supposed to stop here?’ ‘Can I turn on this light?’ etc.

The good news is that I made it to work safely, and hopefully home tonight. The bad news is that I hate night driving, and need to drive home tonight alone. Wish me luck!

Time.


Time passes.

Time crawls.

It’s been months since I last posted on this ( my ) blog. Why? Time, mainly. Not that I haven’t had time to post. It’s more like my time was taken up by other things. Or more exactly, one thing. World of Warcraft. I’ve discontinued my account, set all my affairs in order so to speak so nothing will be lost and put all my characters into hibernation. Yes, I have stepped back from this addiction to hopefully start living a bit better and exercising
more.

I am still playing some until the end of the month, but I am not longer spending hours at a time on it, nor am I raiding or doing anything with my friends. What I am doing is just messing around to kill some time between cleaning, reading, and sleeping.

This change has come at a good time because my promotion is going to kick in during the first week in March and with it comes a new schedule, a morning schedule opposed to a closing one. I am usually getting up at 9am to be at work by 10am. Now I’ll need to be up at 7am to be to work by 8am. It means more money, obviously, with very little more work.

Since I finally got my license, it makes the next step of my job easier. The new amount of work comes in the form of advertising. I need to drive around to local businesses and hand out flyers, free month tickets, etc. I am using my girlfriend’s car, now that I am on her insurance.

I actually did well on my driver’s test, just did small little things to end up with an 84 score. Parked a bit close to the curb on parallel parking, but did a near perfect backing into a parking spot. Sped slightly coming down a hill because I didn’t ride the brake coming down and it naturally went faster.

That’s it for now, just wanted to put down some thoughts before my time got away.
