Well, recent events just go to show how much of a kiddie roller coaster life can be! We got a new car in Feb., and have put just about 10k miles on it. We had an emergency trip to Arizona for a memorial service immediately following a large corporate event at my work, combined with a department transfer shortly before layoffs at my workplace, (I've escaped the axe thus far, yay!). The effects have made keeping up with school this semester beyond my ability to manage to my satisfaction. It isn't that the work is difficult, they are all freshman level courses, the problem is that there is not time in the day to complete the work, and also hold down a 10 hr a day (due to the department shift, oh joy) job with 45 minutes of commute each way. The lack of sleep makes it like I step into a Hunter S. Thomson novel, drug free. I have withdrawn from classes, but am slated to start up again next semester, and hopefully will be able to CLEP through a couple courses before then!
I have had new opportunities at work, and have proven that the squeaky wheel gets the grease as far as training is concerned. But, now things are slowing down a bit, it is simply the nature of the industry, it fluctuates given the needs of the customer, and the ability of entities to invest in our customers product. I wish the finances didn't fluctuate with it! I need to get to work on that, and may perhaps have the time, if this keeps up.
All things considered, things are lookin' up, but it's kinda hard to get around the crick in my neck, if you catch my drift.
Here's to sunshine and lack of birds directly perpendicular to my direction of travel!
