Journal Entry 0004

December 18, 2022
I started a new job as a service desk engineer this year. It’s been a lot, but I’ve been working hard and I’m honestly really appreciative of having this IT helpdesk job. I’m learning a ton and even on the rough days it feels like I’m building something real.

My girlfriend moved in a few months ago. A new one from the last time lol. I mean we've been together a couple years now and she's really good to me. We’ve been struggling a bit (mostly money/stress) but I’m doing the best I can. I got a Christmas tree for her and seeing it up in the apartment made things feel a little more normal I will admit. Still hurts to spend $200 on a plastic tree when I'm trying to pay off debts. Candice keeps trying to mess with the bottom branches like she’s got beef with the ornaments.

I’ve still been doing projects and commissions on the side.
Some of them have been really cool! Maybe I should show some here some day.

Been getting back into Overwatch after being away for awhile. OW2 is… a whole thing, but it’s been fun to relearn it and grind a bit. Also feels like everybody is talking about Elden Ring right now. VR is still a big part of my life. I’ve had a couple doubts about how much time I spend in VR, but not really. It’s still my space.
