Just booked my room in Alabama. I got a great rate since I'll be there for two weeks. Something like $45 a day. This place is actually pretty nice, I stayed there the last time I was in Hoover, AL. I'm a little apprehensive about the course I'm taking. Week 1 will be cake (I hope), while Week 2 will be tough. Of course there is a practical test at the end of Week 2. Because of the difficult nature of this type of testing, practical testing weeds out individuals who have yet to gain enough skill and experience to be proficient inspectors. Or as my instructor told me last time "Performance demonstration tests are going to be common place, get used to them". Might as well.
It's been groundhog day here lately. Go to work, do the same thing, come home, do the same thing- Repeat. Not getting a super amount of enjoyment out of it.
I talked to another guy at work, he's two years older than me. He has a degree in economics from the University of Kentucky. He asked if I wanted to go on the road with him and do contract work. Man, that is a heck of an offer, but that doesn't really fit my goals right now. I need to get in with a company the focuses soley on ultrasound, so I can hone my skills more. Other opportunities will arise once I become skilled.
