2012: Gooch Year 33 – Trying Times
By Gooch | January 10, 2013
2012. What can I say about it? Well, there were ups and downs as with any year, but it seems like there were more downs. I lost my only grandfather after Thanksgiving. Also learned that mom is diabetic, just like my father, so now I definitely have to watch for it
The big lowlight of this year: getting laid off in June. The program I had been working under had its budget frozen, which meant that the team I was on went goodbye. At first, I was optimistic that it wouldn’t be a long time that I would be unemployed, but alas, I’m still unemployed as of now. Frustrating to say the least and has knocked me down a bit in terms of my mood, but I’m trying to keep myself upbeat.
In terms of my love life, yes, I found someone early on and thought it would work, but alas it didn’t and there was a mutual breakup (at least I think it was). I thought we would at least be friends, since she’s a cool person, but that was not meant to be ultimately. I honestly don’t know why and it bugs me to high heaven, but I will move on from it and I know there is no ill will on my part at all. I just hope that she continues to be happy.
Which brings me to the woman I have now. Someone who I’ve known as a friend for a few years. I finally decided to give it a chance (only after she had to come out and say it since I missed so many clues over the years). So far it’s been a great ride with one major hiccup (it didn’t really affect us, just people around us). I’d say the future is bright.
At the end of the day, I’m still here and kicking. 34 is off to an ok start. My mind is in a much better state than it was even just a couple of weeks ago. All that needs to be done is find a job and things will be much better.
