This week has been an emotional rollercoaster of sorts. I didn't get that promotion that I applied for. I had an interview, and everything but it simply came down to them choosing a candidate that had actual experience with that particular position. That's what he told me anyway. I was pretty bummed about it, but I also think it's a sign that I need to look for another job. I don't see any growth in my current job, and I need to be somewhere that I can see myself moving forward rather than staying stagnant. Needless to say I'm going to be looking for another job. Preferably one that pays me more money than my current job. The person that interviewed me did say he would pass on my resume to a graphic design friend of his because he was really impressed with it. Hopefully that works out. I'm not putting too much stock into it though.
In other news the AC in our house went out Saturday evening. My dad called a guy he knows that fixes AC units to come and look at ours, and it ended up my parents had to buy a whole new unit. It made sense because the AC unit we had was actually 30 years old. The guy was surprised that it lasted as long as it did. We finally got it fixed today. I was so glad because it's no fun sitting in a hot house. We were somewhat lucky that it wasn't the hottest day of the year so it was bearable. Sleeping was a bit harder, and my mom didn't get any sleep last night. I slept okay, but It was incredibly uncomfortable sleeping without any AC. I'm so glad it's fixed today because Texas heat is no joke at all.
One good thing that happened is that I trained this guy in my department, and we ended up having a lot in common as far as music tastes goes. He's sort of the nerdy type, and people at the job don't really like him that much. I don't get it though because he's not that bad. People at my job are so judgmental to be honest. That's another reason I want to look for another job. They hired all these new people, and I'm just not feeling it at all. Everyone forms their own little cliques, and if you're even a little outside what's considered "normal" they don't want anything to do with you. Honestly that's fine by me because I don't care for them anyway. I just mostly stay to myself.
My mom, and I had a civil discussion about religion last week. My mom is very religious, but I'm glad that she finally see's that I don't have the same perspective on things and doesn't hate me for it. It made me realize how lucky I am to have parents that accept me fully for who I am. I especially realized that when I came out to my mom. I know a lot of people (esp LGBT people) don't always have parents that are that accepting. It makes me feel very grateful for my parents.
