I have been ignoring both LJ and Twitter lately, but that's only because I'm trying to get into the routine of working again, while trying to keep the normal routine of a stupidly Long Distance Relationship. And to be honest, it's really taking it's toll on me. Trying to exist in 2 different time zones wasn't exactly easy when I wasn't working, but now....BLOODY HELL...I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up in some kind of institution.
   Work isn't too bad, especially now that the store has actually opened and the franchise manager has gone (I wasn't the only one who thought he was an ignorant tosser). We have been open for 2 days and I already feel quite comfortable with certain aspects of the job. Today I was informed that all the staff will be getting trained in testing, which is good news as I feel that could possibly open up a few doors for me later down the line. 
   So what with things changing here, there's a lot going on Stateside too. Michael will be starting a new job and moving to his new apartment in 2 weeks. He's already feeling a bit stressed about it all, and saying that he feels as if his whole life is changing. I'm just wondering if it's for the better? Unfortunately, before all of this starts, he's going down to Virginia for a week or so to help his younger brother move, who is going through a divorce. It's quite worrying as all 3 of them have been divorced....just hoping that's it and that there are no more in the future!! Also, with all this going on, it makes it hard to sort out a date for my pending visit. It would be nice to know soon, as I really need to let work know, otherwise I might not get the time off. Dunno what I'll do if they say no..... could end up losing my job!!

Enough now....apart from this, which made me smile...
