So, it finally came. Alas, I have a computer again! My new laptop came today and I can’t say I’ve been happier without it. This laptop is damn huge, and damn impressive! The only bad thing about getting a new computer is having to reinstall all the damn software the old one has, and downloading and patching everything.
I haven’t logged onto wow in over a week, and I’m starting to have withdrawals. Yes, it might only be a game, but it’s my damn drug of choice, and when I don’t get my drug, I get pissed. The past week I’ve probably slept more than I’ve been awake, and I think now it’s time to adopt a more natural schedule.
I suppose the demise of both of my computers at the same time was a blessing simply because it helped me get acclimated to waking up at 6am for work. If I was staying up late playing on the computer, I probably would have been more tired than I was, and that’s not a good idea when dealing with construction machinery.
Speaking of, the job is going damn well, and I’m really excited to wake up everyday and see what happens. I was on project one day, but today I spent most of it in meetings and learning about Commercial trucks so I can get my CDL pretty soon. Depending on weather tomorrow, I might be back out on project or stuck with the truck again. Either would be acceptable to me, and I can’t wait to get started on advancement for work. Getting my CDL is the first requirement, then I can start on more interesting training.
In short, everything is well. I’m happy, money’s still tight, but I think I’ll make it. Danyale is working part time and we’re still waiting to hear back from Disability on her, but we’ve both got a good feeling this time. I think she’ll be approved, and that’s one more worry that I don’t have to deal with.
