What's Been Going On

I've been out of the loop so to speak. Things have changed I'm sure I've last updated my blog. I've always been a writer, ever since I was a young kid & I have let my writing go to the wayside so I've decided to make sure I update my blog more often. When my dad was growing up, my Grandma Bean used to make him sit down every day & write in a journal. My Grandma was a teacher & my Grandpa was a CID(Central Intelligence Division) in the Army so my Grandma thought it was important to write. I think I got my love of writing from her, its in my blood, its my passion, my life. Writing is a part of my soul, its who I am. I'm a creative person, its part of my personality & who I am as a person. So, I've decided to write more often. Now onto what's been up with me.

Me & Jen are still together, its been almost a year (25 Dec 2010 - Present). I'm not sure if I mentioned that I have a job but yes I'm back working. I stopped working in 2007 because I started school & graduated in Web Design from school, but I'm back in the work field now & loving it. I like to work, it gives me something to do & I like making money, & it helps me feel independent. I've been at my job almost 3 months but for the life of me I cannot remember the month I started working there, it was during the summer I do remember that much. So I've just been working. I started off working 40 hours a week but then a guy was hired for 3rd shift so I started working 32 hours a week & started working mostly 2nd shift. Then at one point I was working some on my days off which I didn't mind, more money for me & more hours. Now I'm working 32 hours with 3 days off, which I don't mind. So once again, I'm back in the work world & loving it. Working gives me a sense of independence which I like. I've been doing good, however, the Winter is fast approaching & unfortunately I have Seasonal Depression yet it hasn't hit me yet or its already hit me & isn't as bad as it has been in the past. I still go to the Veteran's Hospital in Salem but now I see a psychiatrist at the new Staunton Veteran's Clinic that just opened which I don't mind because the dude I was seeing in Salem wasn't even a real shrink, he was like an intern or something like that & he left the hospital because his time was up. I think he was doing his residency or something like that. I have a woman shrink now & she seems okay but I've only seen her once so far but she seems okay. Finally I'm on Anxiety medicine that I've heard of & that works. Whatever the hell that shrink in Salem put me on didn't work, I don't even remember the name of it, I had never heard of it before. However, I haven't had to take any Anxiety medicine. I did have to get Jen to bring me my medicine to work a week ago, don't know if I had a panic attack or what, who knows, I don't. All I know is that I needed my Anxiety medicine & thankfully my new shrink put me on something that works & I took one when Jen brought them to me & I felt better.

It snowed here not long ago, it was near the end of October 2011. It snowed in the evening started at 5pm & continued snowing the whole night into the next morning, so almost 2 days straight. It didn't stop snowing. I drove my truck to work that night, it was on a Friday I think or a Saturday, I know it was a weekend that I worked 3rd shift. I never drive my truck to work because Jen's car is better on gas but I am glad that I drove my truck to work because that morning that I got off work around 7:30a it was sleeting & there were so many accidents that morning. Me & Jen happened to go to my parent's house that morning after I got off work & we went in my truck & we saw SUV's that had ran off the road & were in the ditch & 4 Wheel Drive trucks in the ditch. And some of my customers told me about other accidents that had happened. I didn't have to kick the 4 Wheel Drive on but I drove slow, people were driving normal speed past me, fucking idiots, that's how accidents are caused. People think they can drive normal speed & drive fast in bad weather, some of those people are the ones who have accidents. However, one of the people who we saw that had an accident & had ran into the ditch was not speeding, that woman had been going way under the speed limit. She must have hit a patch of ice or something & her vehicle went spinning & into the ditch she ended up.

Anyways, enough about snow, LOL. I so do not want anymore snow, not now anyway. That's what Christmas is for, snow can come around that time. I worked Halloween night, 2nd shift & I ended up working part of 3rd shift too. I worked 4pm to 4am that night, so a 12 hour shift, which I don't mind because I'm used to working 12 hours. Me & Cody happened to be in the store a little after 12:30am on Halloween night & we heard a strange noise which came from the area where the coffee machine was & it sounded like an old wooden oak desk scrapping against the floor, now we were in mid conversation when we heard the noise & we both stopped talking & looked at each other like WTF. A few minutes after that David came back & we told him about it & we looked in the office where the desk was & it hadn't moved, plus that desk isn't wooden anyway & also the noise didn't even come from the office. Either way, we heard the noise & no I'm not crazy because I'm not the only one that heard it, so its not like I was hearing stuff that no one else heard. Later on the three of us were talking & we continued to hear various noises. They had left & I was in the store by myself & I heard the door open as if someone was getting a drink from the cooler & I saw the cooler door closing, I went back to check it out & the door wasn't closed all the way. I thought to myself, WTF & closed it & went on about what I was doing. All in all, Halloween night at work was crazy LOL. I've heard that the store is haunted & I'm not the only one who's heard noises & had things happen that couldn't be explained. You can believe it or not, but if you go in the during the night you can see for yourself, if you hear an unexplained noise that you can make up your own mind whether its haunted or not.

Today is now Saturday & surprisingly I'm off work & I'm also off Sunday which isn't out of the ordinary because I've been off on Sundays for the past Month really, but hey I'm not complaining about being off, its nice actually. I'm starting to get tired so I'm going to change & lay down & hopefully I will quickly fall asleep. Yall have a good night. I will write more tomorrow. This is for now. Take care ~Bean~
