Reflect Upon Change, Ye Who Enter Here

A quick note: the skin on my blog was corrupted in the update to WordPress 3.0. I had to switch to another. I hope I can switch back, because I quite liked that old skin… Oh well. Change sometimes is for the better.
Speaking of, I should mention my situation lately. Hence the last post being done in April, when it is now late June. Two and a half months late on my newest entry, which was going to be about the Hollywood trend of shock-gore horror films instead of suspenseful horror films but I am not so sure about it right now.
Well, in my personal life, things have been going rather well lately. If you have not heard yet, I now have two jobs and a new apartment to boot. Yep, Adam had to move. Continuing in the tradition of moving to places that are accessible on foot to all work venues, my new place is about a twenty minute walk away from both places. I was insistent on this place instead of others for this very purpose. Yes, I am still working for Zellers… and now I am working for one of my old employers as well, answering telephones and generally being the helpful person that I am (though I bet that several people in my life would like to dispute this).
Has it been a change? Yeah. Life lately has been about constant change. I mean, just three months ago, I had no job, no money and a bleak outlook on life in general. My Employment Insurance (Americans: think unemployment benefits) ran out in May, right when I was at my most vulnerable point. If you think moving is hard, try planning a move then finding out that you are going to be over a thousand dollars short in your moving and rent budget. I owe my parents big time for helping me through that rough patch, both financially and emotionally.
June definitely was a changing month for me. I now live in a great new apartment (where the landlord will not try to screw me out of a damage deposit, like the last one did), I have two jobs, two wonderful kids, a smile on my face and a positive outlook for the first time since January 2009. I am so happy, I have taken to saying when people ask me how I am I respond: “If I was any better, I would be twins.”
So now you know how I am. How are you? Leave a comment below and tell me.
So now to catch up on world events… what should I next spread an opinion about? BP’s major screw-up in the Gulf? Nah… done to death already.
