Okay, I invested big bucks to train in heavy equipment to change my careers. the lesson I learned was, ask the right questions from the industry. Made the mistake of asking "how do you feel about hiring people who acquire formal training on the equipment" when I should have asked if they would hire someone in such a position who didn't have experience in construction (etc.). So, 28G later, a short stint until the snow came, zero income for 8 months and now that I've sought employment doing what I have been good at for decades, I'm employed. Not as a dozer/excavator/grader operator or anything I invested my cash to do.
Lesson learned. At least life isn't on hold anymore. Heck, I might be able to go to the Memphis International Blues Challenge this next time. Or maybe the BGU 4.
Off to the cabin in the bush for the first time since April. I'll be alone this trip so with the peace and quiet, I'm taking the zoom recorder, the CBG, the acoustic, and I'm going to try to record the songs I've written since with the time off I can now play them flawlessly.
If it all works out I'll have some noise to share with you. I know... promises, promises... its not been a good year for ol' Kranky.
What am I doing. Selling hog/beef casings and spices plus other supplies to mostly butchers. Apparently there is expectation for me to turn their inside customer service department around. 3 days in and I'm actually enjoying it. Perfect timing too... the heat wave is underway and I get to spend the day in air conditioning. Though the house is 80+ when I get home. Can't have it all. [smiley=beer.gif]
