On the road again
So I found out this week that I would be going on my first trip with Sikorsky for about 2 weeks. Normally I would be thrilled at the thought of travel and getting to see Blackhawks on the assembly line and not ones that have had “special” modifications done by the unit, but this time I’m not. Alvin just turned 5 ½ months old and this will be my first time away from him for more than one night. Also I think this will be the longest that Will and I have been apart in about 7 years.
Something I’ve observed in this whole process is that most people want to leave out on a weekend even though if they do that the travel time isn’t paid. These are the same people that are so thrilled to get away from their wife and kids for any reason. Right now I just don’t understand that. I have been dreading Monday morning. I really don’t want to have to tell both my boys bye for almost 2 weeks. Before this the longest I’ve been on a work trip is a week. Things are also very different this time. I know this sounds completely irrational, but with Alvin being so little I’m scared that he will just think that I’ve abandoned him.
So anyway things are good with the new job, I’m just looking anticipating and dreading this trip all at the same time.
