Well, they have finally quit tagging me with the 'trainee' name around work. For the most part anyhow. Most of the guys that I have worked with have taught me well, and the ones that I work with for the first time quickly realize that I know what I'm about, and respect me for that. I'm finally getting some bonus money, too. See, we have a set salary, then we get extra money for going offshore, or doing hazardous duty, even for coming into the shop to work. It's kinda nice, I'll go in for 3-4 hours, do next to nothing, get home at like 10-11 am, have the rest of the day off, and still get paid! lol! I hope everyone's 4th of July was good. I got called in to work (the bad side of being salary.) Got there at 6:30am, and fortunately got finished at about 12:30. The company man took us out to lunch, and it was cool to hang out with the guys that I'd been working with, sipping sweet tea, eating bar-be-cue, and rehashing the day, while admiring the waitress that kept smiling at us. I still think she was just smiling at me, but the other guys claim that that's not the case. I also got my harmonicas in yesterday!! WOO HOO! It's been months since I got rid of my last one, and I am really missing it.....but it's kinda like a bicycle, turns out that I pretty much remember how it all works, and I'm getting back at it pretty quick. Gotta work on my tongue action, since it's been awhile, my tongue is kinda sore from not using it so much.....being single does not help in that respect! LOL! Anyhow, ya'll take care, and God bless!
