I came across your blog while I was looking into bike school and felt completely weird reading what you wrote back in March about wanting to go because it was like reading a page of my own thoughts. And then reading about your cooking, debt, desire to open a women’s shop or design women’s bikes, frustration with your job… I’m just curious what happened – did you go to bike school? What are you doing now? Are you doing work you like better? I would love to know. I’m rooting for you.

Great blog!

I stumbled over this while researching information for a bike/camping trip I’m planning to make through Europe in a few months. I can really relate to your need for change. I left the USA to travel and discover the world and was detoured 10 years ago to Ukraine and have been here ever since. Now I’m finally about to move on again.

You have an interesting writing style. You should really pursue this.

I hope you post more.

I wish you all the best.

You know, there is a lot you can do out there. And you’re absolutely right about your finer qualities, they are the kind of qualities that all sorts of organizations are looking for. Why not talk to a Peace Corps recruiter? Why not talk to an Army recruiter (but be careful with them, they can be worse than used car salesmen). Why not look at going to school for something new? Why not look at any and every other option?
You know, I hate being in the Army. Its not a bad job over all, it wasn’t even always a bad job for me, but its a bad job for me now. I took some valuable things from my Army experience, and I hope that I gave some valuable things back to the Army, but I think we’ve reached a point where we don’t have much left to offer each other.
Maybe thats whats happened with your job. I know how it feels when you think you’re stuck somewhere, but you’re really not. Its a great big world out there. You have a lot of options. You didn’t always do this. What did you do before? It can be hard without people close to you, but it can benefit you too. You are lucky in that no one depends on you for your income. You could temporarily live out of your car to make a new career work, if you needed to.
You know what I’m doing to prepare myself for an eventual discharge? I’m studying to become a doula. I’m almost certified now. I’m also getting a certification in massage therapy. Those two things together might make a halfway descent career. You know what else I’m doing? I’m selling for two direct marketing companies. I’m not very good at it yet, but if I’m persistant, and I keep working towards it, I think it could be a good income supplement. When it all lines up, which I think it will in a year or two, I can get out.
Are these things risky? Yes. But I know if I stay in the Army my life is going to be miserable. There’s a chance of a good life somewhere else. I’ll take that chance.

Thanks for sharing about yourself, and your likes/dislikes. Regarding number 26… No insult intended, but have you ever been tested for any autistic spectrum disorders, such as Asperger’s syndrome? I am also bothered by loud sounds, etc…

Wow!

It looks like you have finally learned that you have had a victim mentality. That’s a great revelation, and will allow you to move forward with the rest of your life. You need to get out of that club. Examine your strengths, your desires, your passions. What else are you good at? What else do you like? They say, “Do what you like, and you’ll never work a day in your ilfe!”. Keep moving forward. You have created momentum with your realization, now keep moving forward, and you’ll get out of your rut. The rut is that club. Even with minimum wage, you would have made about 40 something dollars in that same time period at another job. Carpe Dium!

Dude, that sucks. HARD. I have quite a bit of respect for strippers, but I’m a girl….. but my husband does, too. And if you want to know some of the better clubs, we have friends in the area that may be able to help you out. If you really want to. But you’re right- you’re smart crafty and GORGEOUS, and there are a million things you could do. Because you are awesome.

Hey Jami, I hears ya babe. I have someone that I care about who doesn’t really want me back and it is driving me bonkers. One minute I’m sad and weepy about it and the next I’m incensed and ready to kill him.
