On the Road, But at Home in Texas, United States
I'm a 30-ish woman who lives her life on the road, is obsessed with something new every week, and loves coffee more than life itself (at least at 4am). I have an old house that needs to be completely renovated, two adorable nieces whom I love "the sky and the beach," and dreams that change from day to day. Let me tell you about them...

New Job Update

Okay, okay....Listen, I've not been out of touch because I am lazy. Well, not solely because I am lazy. I also have begun my new job! I was in Norco, LA (near New Orleans) until a week and a half ago, and have been in Plaquemine, LA since, with the exception of the one day that I was moving between there and here, getting site-specifics, etc. But I've not really had a day off since I came to Louisiana. They are saying that we will probably be outta here in about 4 days, and I'm not really sure what the plan is after that.

Two jobs down, I have a much better understanding of the new position and I think that I actually am/can be really good at this job. Plus, it will provide me with the funds to do lots of other stuff that I want to do. I already make more $$ in one week than I used to make in a month! It's been really nice not to have to scrimp when I want something, and even nicer than making a good paycheck is being so buy that I don't really have time to blow much of it, so it's building up nicely in the bank! Woo-hoo! It can be stressful at times, but every day is something new and there are really fun people to work with, really weird people around here, and even a handful of heinously evil leprechauns out for blood (though mine seems to be of no importance yet, since I'm still a new nobody).

But I've met a lot of great people. There's a kid named Dustin from Oklahoma who works with me here at night and, when we're not too tired, we really have a blast making fun of each other and singing to classic rock in the office. And all the while getting all of our work done...Imagine that! I can sometimes actually work and talk at the same time. I must be getting better with age, hmmm?
