A toe in the water
*peeks from behind a heavy curtain*
Oh hi there. Is there anyone actually out there reading? Do people get notified if my words appear to cascade forth once more from the abyss? It's been just over two years since I last left words public in this place for all to see. And it has been an exceedingly busy/crazy two years. I am no longer working retail. (I just re-read my rant on that and, wow, was I an angry lil man)
I am not working in the field in which I received a college Bachelor's degree in. But hey I'm paying my bills better that retail did. For the record I work in a CNC machine shop now. We produce parts from raw material (metal mostly, some plastic) for our various customers. Many of which are oil field related. It's Louisiana, what else is there around here? I've been doing this for about a year and a half now I suppose. The job is interesting on many levels. It requires me to use critical thinking, problem solving, and creative solutions. It find much of what we do rather fascinating. This is of course a good thing. For there is no amount of money really worth it if you hate your job.
There, however, has been some BAD happenings in my life as of late. In February a drunk driver rna a red light and hit my car. I had a passenger who was mildly injured and myself who received a triple fracture of my collarbone. Had I been 2-3 feet farther into the intersection the truck would have crushed into my body directly. As is the bastard totally destroyed my car. My less than a year old 2007 model car. I am very displeased with that fact. That fact almost more so than the personal injury. In any case I was out of work for 3 months while I healed and I'm not back.at work, only been 2.5 weeks. Talk about tiring.
Anyhow I'm rolling out. later. and lets hope I write more.
