Well, today is a new week-monday of course
Last week I had a pretty good job
This week is uncertain
I worked at the Kroger Deli for a week
then my background check came back
and they told me I have to clear that before I can come back
My manager is nice and wants to help me anyway possible
even giving me work at her house for extra cash.
However, I received my letter from the company
claiming every arrest, fine, charge, and violation of probation i ever had
I am not a felon.
I have a misdemeanor B for possesion of marijuana <2ounces
a drug conviction.
This strains me from getting better paying jobs now
also, I can't get any student loans for 7 years
I will probably always have that drug conviction on my criminal record
even when it's expunged, it still shows up.
So, I'm doing what I can today to find a new job
or see if Kroger will work with me at all.
I'm depressed a bit
considering on july 18th, I will owe rent again.
I've been living litterally on loose change for weeks
I am sleeping less and seem to be pretty anxious as well.
However, I am not moping around or giving up today.
I got out of the house
I got cleaned up really nice
and I will keep positive to find a new job.
It just seems that when I get sober
life is much harder, or it seems harder
because I have real life struggles again
I have not relapsed in the last month
which was not too hard considering where I live
and that when I live on my own
a sense of responsibility kicks in for survival
If I lived at my parent's house
that doesn't seem to happen
oh, well about Kroger
I've pretty much put it behind me now
I'll post more pictures of Denton tomorrow
As I will take some pictures of various Denton landmarks.
Bis naechsten zeit!

Frank - I am sorry about the job situation. You will find something, and you are learning good life skills. I think your positive attitude will help you. I pray that you do not give up hope.

Hang in there, you didn't want to work with meat all day anyway right? Haha... I love you Phranqiti Chiquita Bonita. By the way, what does the last line of your blog mean? (keep in mind I took sign language... lol)
