So yesterday the guy that heads up training comes to me and was like, "Hey, friday, I'm gonna take you to the manager that wants you and kick you loose." I was cool with this at first, cause I wanna get back out to the rigs, but as I thought about it, I got a little worried - kick me loose? So I went and talked to him today and he explained that the boss that I am going to be working for on the rigs has let the training director know that he wants me NOW. Now, this is kinda cool, cause it means that he has faith in me and wants me to work for him. I am actualy really flattered. But honestly, I don't know a lot of the technical stuff that I need to to do well in my new position. So we chatted for a bit and came up with some alternatives that kinda split the differance. We are probably gonna get together tomarrow or friday and have a little powwow, and hammer this stuff out. I'm really excited 'cause one way or another, I'll be headed out to the rigs in the next month or so. Not only do I like being out there, as it's pretty stress free and usually is beautiful, but that is where the money is. I don't wanna sound like I'm all about money, but I've given up A LOT (like everything - yeah, everything importaint to me) to make this happen, trying to make a better future for me and mine, should there ever be a mine. Anyhow, as Roger Creager says - "Things look good around here!" I do wish things would have worked out differently between me and my ex.....I suppose everything happens for a reason. Dosen't mean that I have to like it, but that's how it is. For now anyhow - we never really know what the future holds. I just want to share my life with someone. I've trained my thinking and my mannerisms to be in a relationship, eventhough the last 3 years has been spent mainly single. I know how to be single. I usually enjoy being single. Right now I don't. I think it's that whole transition period thing. Now, I do want to state on the record that when I'm single, I'm not like a lot of single guys. When I go out, alone or with friends, I don't go to hookup. I go out to have a few drinks, talk to friends if they are there, and enjoy the music. I know that sounds like the usual fat/ugly/stupid guy line, and maybe I am all of the above, but I am truthful. I promise. hehehehe. Anyhow, I just kinda realized how many guys do that last weekend talking to some folks, and it kinda hit me that I don't do that stuff, and I think it shows. People that ARE out for that usually steer clear of me. I attract sane, mature, intelligent folks - guys and girls. Be it known that I'm not out trying to attract guys, but if I get to be buds with someone, they are good people. I think I'm digging a hole here. I'm gonna quit now. Ya'll take care, and God bless!
