My return

I haven't written in awhile. I have a job now. It will keep us afloat, but not moving forward. It gives me a chance to try to ride out the shitstorm. I know now that I lost a lot of job interviews based on my credit past. That is fixed now, and I can pounce on the next opportunity.

I was told by a person whose opinion I typically respect that I might be aiming too high. I can't agree with that. I think right now, jobs are scarce and I have to take what will pay me, but I know I am meant to do more and I will always try to do better.

In some ways, I feel bad. I know that I should be very grateful for my current job, and I am. I am not doing what I set out to do and I have invested too much into this to not chase this to its end. Sadly, I'll most likely be doing what I am currently doing for the next year.

All that being said, I consider myself very lucky. I am here. I am doing well enough for the situation I am in, and that is all for now.
