I am indeed back, sorry for falling off the Earth. No, everything has been pretty ok, no major serious scary catastrophes. I did have a scare that the entire group of verbal and mentally abusive part of my family was going to be coming the end of this month. That is not going to happen, I think.
Work wise, I had one placement in July where the chick that brought me in gave me three hours of training. She then went on some days off and left me to do the job. She comes back about a week later and ends my contract because I couldn't get the formatting on something correct.
1. The thing I had to type from was handwritten and nearly impossible to read and he was using all the old school punctuation signs. So I went by that.
2. Even I aren't amazing enough for anything on three hours of training.
Da Vinci had to learn how to paint before he made masterpieces. Hey but whatever, her sandbox. Plus that GoA department was a gong show.
A few days later I get a placement at what is hands down my favorite office I have ever been placed in. Sadly the contract was ended early because of shuffling and whatever other reasons. But I have been assured that it has ZERO to do with me. They would've loved to keep me full time if they could. A job posting for this very job came up about a week or so later. I put in for it.
Anyway, I've been in the process to get a bunch of safety tickets to do a major career change away from admin to the trades. I basically have a job as an industrial insulator when I get one more Ticket. This job is cherry, I mean pay is $36/hr plus, accommodations and flights provided. You name the benefit I will have it. I'm pretty pumped for it.
Earlier today, I get an email requesting that I set an interview time to come in and interview for the very admin job I was doing at my favorite office. So it's Monday at 1pm. I look further into the email, and it turns out that it will be done by a three person panel, and two of those three are the exact people that I worked for when I was there.
If this were a perfect world and I was offered both jobs, which one should I pick? I know I will enjoy both. Both would pay really great. Both would be stable. But the office one keeps me in town and the insulator sends me up to a Fort Mac camp. I'm fine with both locations so.... I'm sort of torn.
A friend did come up with a great idea, if both are offered, take the office one and do that while saving money and get a good handle on myself, you know what I mean, and then move to an apprenticeship later on.
Which I honestly think is the best decision really. Hell, I'm only 27, still young to change it up later.
Other than that, I've been decently okish. Maybe a little manic here or there, nothing major. More on the depressive end I guess. Though last night I didn't get much sleep, I was having horrible intense and disturbing nightmares. Sort of threw me off for the whole day. I did go for a walk to the little store and back. I kind of miss working at the one back east I worked for. At times it was really frigging funny. But it also got robbed by a guy with a sword. I wasn't there. I'll post about the sword guy tomorrow. It's late and I'm tired.
G'night
