New Job

Looking at the 8 draft blog post I have sitting here I've come to the conclusion that once I start to write something I really need to just post it rather I've perfected it or not. I've got tons of pictures and stuff but no traditional "blog" posts. So guess what?! No not that, why do people always guess the wrong thing when under pressure? I digress- I'm done building the playground! Yes indeed the biggest project on my list was completed yesterday, though without much reward aside from just knowing it's done... and that another large chunck of my car is paid for. Seriously though I booked 5x as many hours working on it as dad did and yet the kids come out all excited and thank him instead of me! Kinda hurt a bit after all the sweating blood I did on it.

Anyways I started a new job today as an apprentice plumber. The plumber who's been working on my parents new building found out I was looking for work and hired me a few minutes later! So over the weekend I got in the habit of sleeping until like 2pm so all of a sudden I have this new job that starts at 6am so last night I only slept like 4 hours because I wasn't tired. Our first job was finishing my folks building, took 3 hours. After we got done here we went on to spend over 11 hours working as fast as possible trying to meet other peoples deadlines. We did 4 other jobs today and took a half hour lunch- I ate a 1ft sub in like 3 minutes flat at about 1:30. This morning I got a crash course on running pressure pipe then spent about 3 hours working unsupervised before lunch. Then we installed a water heater and did some other small jobs. Started work at 6am and except for lunch I didn't gt a break until 7pm when I got home. A decent amount of psychical work with long hours but the pay is good and my boss is a nice guy. I learned so much today, it was incredible, I just hope I remember it all tomorrow morning.

And... omg... guess who just called me while I was writing this? MY BOSS. Apparently we're starting work even earlier then we planned tomorrow to meet an inspectors deadline... so after working 11 hours and only being home for 3 more I will be awake, fed and on the job in less than 7 hours. =S God this is killing my gaming hobby and my beauty sleep and I've only been employed for 1 day. Good thing I just stocked up on Rockstars, I slammed 2 of them this morning before work and I had the weirdest sugar high mixed with this incredible urge to curl up in a dark corner and pass out. But after awhile it just turned into utter exhaustion muddying my vision of a big fat check Friday.

One more subject though, *drumroll* GIRLS. Yes indeed, with money comes the possibility of having a girlfriend. See most gals aren't that excited about being with an unemployed gamer who lives with folks. Aside from that I just like to have some money to spend when I'm dating. I would actually enjoy spoiling a worthwhile girl if only I could find one though and therein lies the problem. It's hard enough to find a date yet alone a trustworthy gal. I mean where do you go to meet people when you meet girls when you work 12 hour days as a plumber? Not many females in the construction industry and even slimmer odds of finding an eligible object of my affection. Did I just refer to a girlfriend as an object? No dumb ass it's a figure of speech. Seriously though, I want the kind of girl who knows how do do something besides fast walk laps in the mall and txt people.

I wonder if I'm even ready to put myself out there again though, last time didn't work out so well. (moved 600 miles, almost ended up homeless...) Seriously it still hurts a little when I think about it and not just 'cause she turned out to be a lying whore either. I saw something in the paper yesterday that kinda startled me though, twas a personals ad that read, "24yo newly single blond seeks rebound relationship." And I realized that I don't want a rebound relationship- a feel good fix. I need to hurt when I have a breakup because that reminds me that there was something special. But alas a friend is trying to set me up with a blind date for this weekend so we'll see what happens. So many things to think about yet so little time, literally... I'm down to about 6 hours til I work again.
