I don't know how it happened.
I went from moving to Florida for college, getting a degree in graphic design, working up the chain in a retail hell world. I then became homeless for about 8 months. That was fun. I get a job at AOL and do the IT thing for a while, I didn't have to bother with customers, just the agents in the center.
From there I went back to Staples and started management training. I then found a great job at Alltel wireless and a good girlfriend.
Then all hell broke loose in my life again.
A hurricane destroyed my parent's home that they retired to in 2005, no not Katrina, but Wilma. I went there to help pick up the pieces, it was a hard time.
I got into a car accident, lost my license due to a lapse in insurance that was not made aware to me until 1 month after the accident.
However, I got in the accident on my way home from Alltel. Only to come in the next day and find out I was fired. That put stress on my relationship.
I started the job hunt without a license and found a job in town I could walk to. It sucked, but it paid the bills.
2 years go by, and my girlfriend cheats on me, stating that she was bored because I didn't make enough money anymore and that I didn't want to go out and spend money all the time.
I quit smoking for the first time in 13 years. I started drinking heavily. Depression and Anger fueled my life. At some point I lost a car I had to the ex because of a stupid move I did before we broke up. That was my fault and a lesson learned hard.
Then a reset button was pressed.
I'm somehow living with my parents temporarily saving money up again. Working at Staples again. Getting ready to go back to College for a network engineering degree.
What is really weird though, I'm helping my parents more than ever. Their retirement money from the Government and Military isn't too much to live on, so I'm buying groceries and gas for them.
I've been thinking about moving to Germany to live with family. Who knows. Right now I'm just focused on my short term goals that will help me carry on toward the long term.
I still don't know where the reset button was, but it was hit for me.

Don't feel so bad about this, sounds like you dodged a bullet and got rid of a gold-digger.

Exactly. You don't need someone like this in your life.

You live around Nellis?My squadron flies into there pretty often.
I work on base, obviously, but I live clear over on the other side of town, out near Summerlin. It's about a 30 minute commute each way, but I'm doing it during non-rush hours, so it's not so bad. I listen to some music on the radio and try to decompress after the day.
December is really starting to be my least favorite month.
