Yes, peep that header! There's plenty more finished where this came from, I just gotta get the aboveground/underground update done to push it out. There is an embarrassingly wide gulf between the beta version of the site and what piddling little I have up on the main site now, so I'm gonna try to get that last little thing I've been putting off drawn so I can push it out finally. (It involves Bunny and it's also snuggly, so it scares me to death to draw. But I know I gotta.)

I've decided against quitting. It's just a logistical nightmare to try to find another night job (that's when I can work with the transportation I have) at some other place and deal with no money coming in for an indeterminate period of time when I could just mark myself as unavailable for the three weeks, fuck off for the three weeks, and come right back to having a job I really don't mind, all things considered. Quitting was still kind of a byproduct of when stuff at the store as shaky and I felt really targeted. I honestly don't anymore. Getting hassled about shit was a byproduct of the previous manager.

I'm over the $6,000 threshold, and I'll probably be hovering around $7,000 by the time I can get my physical and stuff done to clear me to take the written test (and thus get my permit again). Hunt down the car, get the permit, take the road test, get my license, and that's a major milestone taken care of. Can drive down to the Jersey Shore or wherever whenever I want, visit friends, do hobby stuff in the area (ham radio!), do the Uber Eats/gig economy thing, find work further out of town, be available whenever, or just joyride at night. It's only a few months away.

Been quietly realizing that a lot of my contrarian nature over the years has probably been the result of just being deprived as a teenager. Easy to slag off new games or stuff people like when you can't be happy or indulge in your hobbies due to being poor and family and so on. I've never even taken a vacation. Been stuck in one place for almost 24 years now, man. Am happy that's due to change soon. I'll have so many more interesting stories when I'm free to go.

Also, starting to get warm out again! It's almost midnight and my window is still open. Hot stuff. Will be a good summer.
