Pondering about life #1

As I start this blog with the first post I, read my old blog. I've realized that for some reason seeing the past is haunting to me. To see what once was something we were so engaged in at the moment. It makes me wonder if it is good to look upon the past or not. Anyways... I think for this new blog I will write posts periodically and then I when I hit a certain point. Maybe a year mark. I will reply to all my posts that year and see what I have learned on the topic I was talking about. See how far I've come since those posts. I think that will be interesting to see. So first for some catch up. I first wrote a blog back when I lived in Northport, Washington a few years ago. I guess I forgot about it and just stopped. Anyways I've grown a lot since then as a person and as a human. I don't really know if it's for the better or not which sounds bad, but back then I was pretty devoted to my faith. Now I am not so much. I still believe and go to church every so often, but I haven't committed as much as I should. After being part of the lead of a church, the amount of stress and anxiety really scarred me I think. So I don't go very often as that memory is still fairly present. I don't know how far I will get into my own personal experiences yet this blog, so be warned now. Some things I've done since Northport was I got my first job ever at a Sonic Drive-in. I helped start the Sonic, which was much different from my other jobs I've had since then. The bumming part about Sonic was it was in Idaho which was $7.25/hr there. After a year and a half I got a job at Applebees, which is a lot different from fast food. Line cooking was a lot more stress because everything was on you for the most part. You couldn't rely on other people to help you with your job. I don't know if it was supposed to be that way or not, but it was very stressful and I couldn't do it for very long. I did that for about 6 months or maybe a year before going back to Sonic because I needed to still make some sort of money. I was also going to college during this time along with finishing my highschool years. Eventually I finished Highschool, an Associate's Degree in Arts, and finished working for Applebees, and Sonic. I started working for Wal-Mart after all of that blew over. I also moved out of my parent's house during that time too. There was a lot of sudden change in my life. Which was good because I needed change from where I had came from with Northport. It's been 2 years now working for Wal-Mart. I started as a grocery stocker during the day, and I finished a year of doing that with expressing heavy interest in moving up. They saw I had potential and moved me up after that year evaluation. I went to what is called an IMS Supervisor which is Inventory Management System Supervisor. I lead a team of associates that emptied the trucks that came in every night for restocking the inventory of the store. I did that for a year as well. It was interesting to say the least. I'm now an overnight stocker. I will post more about Wal-Mart in some future posts but for the moment that will be all on my life updates. Sorry if this post seems scrambled a bit but I'm mostly going to be posting what comes out of my head as it does. I feel like it's more interesting seeing raw content like that. It's seemingly more real. Anyways, thanks for reading and I will be posting whenever I get some ideas or things to talk about. Which may be often but maybe not.
