I'm still editing freelance, but I'm working as a technical writer at a company in OKC that develops multimedia training courses for government and military contracts. I'm a technical writer/developer and I'm in charge of QA proofreading and such. Most recently, I've been working on a survival training course for the Army--interesting stuff. I've been working here since Novemberish. I'm also looking into going back to school somewhere for a PhD in English/Literature, but that wouldn't be until Fall 2014, if I can get accepted into any of the programs I like.
Bummer Jess. Oh well, life goes on. Next time hook up with a postal farmer with a ****pot of kids. You'll be much happier.
Have you considered dating soonerchamp? or are you soonerchamp? if it's the latter, congrat's! you can go **** yourself!
Jess, I am so sorry you had to go through that. I watched my wife (not my wife at the time) go through that with her ex...and it is absolutely heart-wrenching just to be a bystander. I hope you find the happiness that you were so lacking in married life.
As a plus, you at least came to this decision while you're still young. At least you didn't put 10, 15, 20+ years into trying to make things work only to come to the same realization you've already come to much later down the road.
An added bonus is that you can still one day be one of those ladies that has been married 5 or 6 times.
I kind of gave up on the idea that things might "work out" when he shot a hole in my ceiling... And he made it very easy not to doubt my decision when he called and told my parents some BS that I'd been cheating on him for a year and a half. I love being slandered. It's the best. So yeah, thank goodness I made this decision when I did. Wish I'd made it much, much sooner.
Yeah, the bipolar thing is no joke. I mean, I always just thought it was swinging from really happy to really sad, but there are so many other things tied to it. Unpredictable behavior, paranoia, insomnia, anxiety, guilt, anger... It was a lot to deal with.
Hell Ive shot holes in MY ceiling and I aint Bypollock Was drunk tho and a dayum Bug was crawling around on it so I shot him with a 357. Only took me 4 shots to hit the bastard.
