KRCC's membership drive will likely wrap up this weekend. This is the first drive in a long time where I wasn't constantly stressed out during my Saturday/Sunday shifts. So many positive things have happened in my life since last October, and I made sure to get enough rest and nourishment before each shift. Breakfast for the morning shift usually arrives/is made around 7:30, but I used to feel grumpy when I came to work at 6:00 on an empty stomach. Having a light snack before work alleviated that.

Speaking of so many positive things happening in my life, my 10-year anniversary on LiveJournal will be in a few weeks. Back in May 2005:

* I was still living with my parents since I couldn't afford an apartment.

* I was recovering from an April 2005 auto accident. I had broken my right knee, right ankle and left wrist.

* I worked two jobs: Board operator/announcer at KRCC-FM (which I still do today) and news writer at Metro Networks (2001-2008.)

* I hadn't heard of the "furry fandom" until the following year, but I liked to pretend I was a dog ever since I was a teenager.

* I created the LJ account mainly to comment on a Web comic (Purple Pussy) that shut down a few months later.

Today I live in a condo (though my dad had to buy it for me,) the Subaru Impreza I bought after totaling my previous car is still in great condition, I haven't broken any bones since then, and I'm debt-free. I set up accounts with MySpace, Twitter, Facebook and Fur Affinity. MySpace is the only account I haven't updated recently.

I left a voice mail with the Vocational Rehab staff member who helped me last time. I still can't find any full-time jobs for which I qualify. There was an article in today's paper about a college hiring recruiters and other positions. Unfortunately for me, they require a Bachelor's degree and at least 3-5 years of experience. One of my co-workers said jobs were available at "the Burger King at Circle and Galley," but there is no Burger King (or any burger restaurant) at that location.

EDIT: I completely missed this but my January 21st post celebrating 29 days until Furry Fiesta was post number 1,500 for me. This milestone was reached roughly 4-3/4 years after I started this journal. I originally signed up to follow the LJ for the now-defunct web comic "Purple Pussy." I didn't know about the furry fandom at the time, but this comic did a parody of the fandom with Purple and her friends becoming "foodies" (dressing up as food,) organizing a convention and being shocked by all the perverted foodies that showed up.

[Error: unknown template qotd] I first heard of LJ when the now-defunct Web comic "Purple Pussy" used its LJ account as a comments board. Since I had started a blog the previous year at another site, I decided to delete that one and open a new blog on LJ (I was recovering from an auto accident at the time.) "Purple Pussy" wound up ending its run a month or two after I joined.
