Back at it again!! I took a job with another department at work, due to the lack of work in the department that I had been working in. Now, instead of controlling X-Mas trees, I will be setting wellheads and running tubing hangers. As if that makes ANY sense to ya'll! LOL This department is very short handed, and I will probably be gone A LOT. I leave the day after tomorrow for my first job with them. One of my friends works over there, and he is working on his 6th week offshore in a row right now. He has gotten to sleep in his own bed for one night during this span. Hopefully I will be able to do the same in a month or so. Not only will I be working more, but I will get a bit of a raise in pay......I'm really excited. I will miss all of my off-time, but I need to bust ass for the next year in order to buy the kind of house that I want next fall. I am also moving out of my apartment. It is insane for me to pay the equivilant of a house payment to live in an apartment. A payment on a very nice house. I am going to move everything into a storage unit, and to my buddy's house, and crash there for free for awhile, and more than likely I will move in with another friend of mine in January. She called just a bit ago and told me that with her discount, at her apartment complex, we could get a very large two bedroom, two bath, with a fireplace, and the rent would be just a bit higher than what mine is now....and we are gonna go halves on all the bills and stuff. Hopefully all that will work out good, and things will progress slowly into what I need the situation to be like next year. Well, that's my current life and state of mind. Ya'll take care, and God bless.
