Forgiveness

Today was Yom Kippur and it's the day of atonement.  This is a day when Jews ask for forgiveness from God and from others from sins that were don consciously or unconsciously.  I think my major sin this year has been that I have been neglectful of my relationships and commitments.  I have been neglectful of this blog because I've been caught up in stupid stuff.  For this, I ask your forgiveness.

As this is a new year for Jewish people, I have a few things that I'm working on that are my goals for the upcoming year.  One of the things that I am continuing is to get healthy.  I still have at least 50 pounds to lose, which may take 2 more years.  The next goal is to get my finances in order, which will also take a year plus to do.  Those are my main two long term goals.

As for short term goals, I have a few.  The first is to take my national certification for pharmacy.  I would love to be able to get more money and be able to have a career in pharmacy as I really do enjoy it.  I also want to finish researching and come up with a cost plan for Pile of Good Things.  It's a cause that is still relevant to what is going on in many capitalist countries, but I will start small.  Mental health effects everyone.  I would also like to finish my writing course.  I have 20 lectures left. 

I also hope to be a better friend and writer this coming year.

Good Things

I feel like good things are finally happening, well...at least in my career.  I just got promoted to Inventory Specialist, which is a great way for me to learn a segment of management.  Since I already got a raise this year, I might not get one, but they are trying for it, since it is more responsibility. 

I did apply for the trainer position , but didn't get it.  However, I have been promoted twice in a year. This promotion is administrative, not supervisory.  I do get to delegate some tasks, so that we are ensuring patient safety.  We dispose of expired and damaged drugs.  I will also be in charge of making sure what is on the shelves is what is in the systems.  I think I'm better suited for this than I am dealing with people.

One of the things that I'm working on in therapy is starting to like people again.  I can't stand most of humanity because a majority of people are terrible or stupid or both.  The odd thing is that I'm good with most kids and people that I train.  I don't know if I rationalize that set of people into the fact that they haven't learned things yet.  It is easier to deal with them.

I still miss having people in my life that I can talk to about anything.  My parents don't count because they will always be weird.  I'm not sure if I want a relationship or what.  I miss being able to hang out with my friends.  Being an adult is kinda shitty.
