life in austin

so it's been a very long while since i have updated.  i've been so busy.  all i do is work and sleep, literally.  it kinda sucks, but i'm trying to prove myself in my newest business. 

i'm currently living in my third and final place in austin, i got kicked out of my friend's over a month ago.  i was friends with this girl in high school and she helped me move out after austin kicked me out and said i could sleep on her couch "as long as i needed."  cool.  only her roommate is a prude.  and planted some obscure images in her head that the latest guy i'm dating had a key to the apartment and was rummaging the place while we weren't there.  so i got kicked out.  haven't spoken to my friend since. 

i no longer work at the restaurant.  i quit awhile back because there was too much bs and drama and it just wasn't working out.  and working a full time and part time job just wasn't working out either. 

i'm living with the guy i've been dating.  i've been here for a few weeks now, we started dating around halloween.  he's my boss, well kinda.  he's the guy that hired me, the assistant manager of the company, so yeah, kinda my boss.  there's a lot of crap that comes with it in the office, such as the owner being a hypocritical bitch and not liking us together although she's been dating the guy that hired her for god knows how long.  i like this guy.  he met my parents on thanksgiving.  he's meeting my mom's side this next weekend for family christmas.  i'm meeting his parents during christmas.  it's my very first major holiday i'm not going home.  it broke my mom's heart.  but i'm growing up, and i have a guy who means a lot to me in my life now.  in january we are moving out of austin to go to houson for a few months before moving to denver.  he's opening up his own office out there, but first has to open a satellite office in houston to prove to the company he can run a business.  so in a few weeks he will be my actual boss.  and we'll be living in houston together.  and then denver.  to start a life together.  weird.

my job is kinda cool.  i work WAY too much though.  it was a great job when i first started, good hours, not bad pay, awesome coworkers.  now the hours changed and i work 12 hour days.  i wake up at 6:30am, leave by 7:30, work 8:30am-7:30pm.  sometimes we don't get home until 9.  so i eat and fall asleep in boss' lap as we watch tv on the couch.  and i work 6 days a week.  i can't take it any more.  i'm over worked, exhausted, and i'm not taking care of my body.  but i've been fighting to prove to myself and everyone else (mainly the owner) that i can make it in this business.  and i think i might finally get my promotion by the end of next week.  next step, houston.

i'm so ready to be out of austin.  i know, i know, i was so excited to move here.  but i've been kicked out of two places, i have nothing tying my here, things haven't seemed to work out, so why not continue to find my place in the world.  i'm still young.  granted, i didn't try too hard to make life work here, i just let things happen and fall into place.  just didn't expect to move three times within my first two months.  i'm happy with where i'm at in life, and i'm happy with boss, so i'm going to go experience life with him. 

that's basically my life right now.  work.  boss.  work.  exciting huh?
