I know. You were all checking your new posts every day to see what I've been up to. Anyway, there are a few new developments in my life, so I thought I'd share.
1- Added a new vehicle to the fleet in late February.
I absolutely love it. I've wanted a truck for awhile now and I'd recommend the Ram 1500 to anyone. And I still have the Integra for when I don't need to be driving the truck. Big thanks to Wil aka @civicious, he helped me (again) keep the Integra on the road in these past few months.
2- Another new addition in my life
Finally found myself a good one. IDK why she puts up with me, but I'm glad she does.
3- After a 2 week, west coast business trip in late March/early April, I was unceremoniously laid off. I hated the job and was on the look out for a new one, so collecting unemployment while I look doesn't seem like too bad a gig. On the same token, I think I'm done with office jobs. I hated it since day 1. So that being said, I'm exploring a few options.
a. I'm taking a cop test next month. I have a ton of friends that are cops, and they all seem pretty satisfied. Good pay, pension, most have 25 years for full retirement, and some even work 180 days a year.
b. Skilled labor. I'd love to go to welding or plumbing school. I've always enjoyed working with my hands. Both professions are seriously in need in my area (and every where), but there is also a lack of schools in my area.
c. Commercial Diver/Underwater Welder. I actually found a school in NJ and was filling out the paperwork to enroll when I got the offer letter for this last job.
d. Restaurant management. I've been in food service most of my working life. I certainly have the skill set for this and I have the ins if I decide to go this route. I don't really want to do this, but it's a fall back. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I will not be working 9-5. After doing both, I think I actually prefer shift work.
I think that brings us to the current day. Not sure if I missed anything.
