So... since I haven't been posting in forever, and no one probably reads my journal anymore, here's what you need to know since I last posted anything with content:

• I moved in with my girlfriend. We have a dog, a cat, and are planning on getting married or eloping sooner rather than later.
• I got a job working in a prison as a substance abuse counselor. I had a crazy boss, and worked with a lot of black girls. I met a lot of interesting, talented, clients. I was there for 14 months.
• I left that job for a lot of reasons. One of them being crazy boss.
• I'm currently working at a community mental health clinic that services a lot of poor and disabled folk. I know a lot about foodstamps, SSI, TCA, and the clustercuss that is our disability system now.

I say all that to say this: I'm gonna be writing about work sometimes from now on. No names. No faces. The work stuff is mostly to keep me from burning out. That said, here goes.
