Almost One Year

At the end of August, I will have been working here for a full year. On September 19th, I will have been an employee of this firm for a year (I temped for a few weeks before they hired me).

This is a big deal because I tend to get fired from jobs before one year has passed. It's also a big deal that I have friends because, well... I never did before.

Yesterday my brother and I were talking and he mentioned the fact that my whole life is coming together finally right when my family life has fallen apart. I haven't seen my brother in five months, and haven't talked to my parents in about a month. My dad and I will e-mail back and forth, but I haven't spoken to my mother at all since some time in June. My brother and I tried to find a connection to these two things above, but couldn't. Guess you can't have everything.
