The Night Gallery

Haven’t been keeping up here.

Frustrated with being on swing shift this morning, time is so frickin c ritical. I get about 3-4 hours to myself in the morning, have lunch with Tanya and then an hour to two to relax before work. Then I come home and go to bed. I’ve been looking for a day job but all of the DOD contracts are up for renewal and nobody is hiring.

Tanya broke her arm and then her mom left to take care of some business so I’m trying to help out there.

Got into FPV First-Person-Video rc planes, built my first electric plane and I LOVE IT!!

Enjoy the video!

Where is the time going!?!??

Millie and Rhianna went to the haunted Fairgrounds together and it was good to see them hanging out. Picked up a new laptop for Millie yesterday. Drove the Scirocco to Tacoma for it and it was a good day.

Millie cooked dinner but got mad at me for helping too much…:)

And now back to the grind. Not a lot to report this week!

Seems the past couple months have been rough.

First, I was hired into a job that stated “Some shift work required” and within two months I was put on swing shift for “a month”. After that month I was told “No, it’s permanent, why?”.

So I began looking for another job, preferrably back at Keyport as that’s a decent place to work and you know where you stand there. But not a whole lot has been going on there due to contract bidding wars and lowballing salaries because of that.

So then I got sick, hurt my neck…hasn’t been good.

But today is a good day, sun is partially out, it’s warm.

Rhianna and Millie are hanging out. It’s a good day!

It’s been a pretty crazy month. By some twist of fate Tanya’s car battery died and I ended up out at Keyport replacing it. While I was there I stopped in at my old job and said Hi to everyone. Came to find out my old job was open so I applied, interviewed, was given an offer, negotiated that offer, and accepted that offer. I was happy that I would maintain my tenure and go back to days and a normal life.
Twenty minutes before I left for work the company called and pulled the offer. The government decided to keep the job in house. Another twenty minutes and i would have been unemployed for giving notice at my current job.

Last October I did not want change but it was forced upon me by a layoff. Now I want change. I want day shift with Saturday and Sunday off. I want to ride to work with my baby and enjoy her company at nights when I enjoy writing in my book. I have none of this right now.

So that’s where I am now, in heavy contemplation.
