Life....the things we do to ourselves..

I think it is funny sometimes the things we do in life, that we know will either negatively effect us or cause stress in our life. So here, I'll tell you about the things that I have been doing lately to negatively effect me or stress me out.

A few weeks back I had been living with my grandma for a while. It was just not a good situation for me. But it was cheap, VERY close to work, and was just probably the best thing for me to do. I was relying on family so that made it harder on me. And also since I was living in Utah County(which is about 30 mins south from Salt Lake County where every friend I have resides) it meant that I had no social life. So I decided to look for a place to live in the Salt Lake valley on my own and by myself. Looked at a lot of one bedroom apartments and such, looking for the best option for me to take. Luckily around that time a room opened up in my best friends apartment so I moved in there. Probably one of the smartest moves I have made in my life. BUT it does come with a lot of stress. The commute to work is 35 mins averaging 65 mph. Lots of gas is used. Rent is much more than I was paying. Plus I have to buy my food and such. So all of this is stressful yes. Money is stressful pretty much. But it's so worth being completely on my own. Even if I am not doing anything but sitting in my room.

Another thing that is stressful in life is the 1992 Nissan Sentra that I drive. If you go back to almost my very first post, you will see a picture of it in its better days. And you're gonna look at that picture and go "Better days? wtf is Dan thinking?" and I will agree. But it's much much worse now. I am waiting for it to die on me and I know it will die on me. It's a time bomb. The timing chain is off which makes the oil leak consistently and if not fixed, will eventually stop. It no longer goes into 5th gear. Causing me to be that crappy little car in the slow lane on the interstate that everyone hates. I used to hate those cars too...until I became one. Now I take my time, enjoy the drive, sing along with music. But along with living in Utah in the summer heat, right when spring rolled around my blower for my AC fan broke. So i turn the fan on, and nothing happens. Not to mention the AC has to be recharged. *sigh* So we will see when it finally dies. Maybe I could sell it before hand. Get some money off of it if possible. I'll see what I can do.

Anywho, pretty bored at work today. Didn't get much sleep last night. Went to bed late. Got up early to work the overtime I had scheduled. And in Seattle our awesome building that holds our servers caught fire so our servers are all screwed up. Making everything work slowly, and making today the busiest day for all of us here. And here I am working overtime. My patience by the end of the day will be widdled down to nothing.

We'll see if I survive.
