I haven’t written much about my life lately so I thought I’d do that. I have the perfect thing to complain about, too!
I’ve always hated working but known that it is necessary to one’s survival. Living in a country that is 99.5% based in pure, undiluted capitalism, it’s pretty much everyone for himself. You rarely have the government helping out. In fact, you have to be in pretty dire straits to get a hold of the money that you’ve been giving to the government in the form of taxes every year.
I am no exception. The only time I’ve ever received money without working was from fall 2004 to spring 2005 when I worked for FedEx Ground. A guard was not properly placed on a conveyor belt and my right hand got sucked into it. It skinned my pinky finger raw and slit my ring finger nearly down to the bone. I was placed not on disability (though now that I think about it, I probably would have qualified) but on worker’s compensation which was funded by the company. I received 2/3 of my regular wages. I ended up having to drain all my money my parents had saved for me for school (not a whole lot, actually) just to pay my bills.
But this isn’t a post about my dissatisfaction with the government and/ or it’s policies, it’s about my job.

Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry I haven’t done a big Christmas post or anything, but if you’d like to see some of what I got, check out this, this, this, & this. Not everything, but most everything. 
As for what I did, Andy & I opened each other’s gifts on Christmas Eve then on Christmas day, we went to the in- law’s then down to my grandpa’s house. It was a nice time with family though I have to say that I’m super jealous my grandma took my parents on a cruise 
After the cut, read about New Year’s!
