off work, bored as fuck update
So, I am at the end of week three off of work. Its not surprising and quite frankly, if I had not been a numpty and overslept on Monday, I would probably still be working. Working project based employment is a lot harder than I first anticipated. Right now, I am in limbo, I have not been called about any projects or told when I might be going back to work. My former leadhand(soon to be a supervisor) assures me thought that I will have work again in January. The buzz is that there are going to be a lot of projects on one of the sites here in Regina and the whispers going around are that the site will be primarily run by him. Due to previous efforts working with this guy, he definitely wants me and the other two guys I love working with to be his "static" crew. Once that finally gets rolling I think I will relax.
Normally I wouldn't worry, but I quit my last project in a rather spectacular manner. I really have to learn to control my temper better, as it has gotten me in more than my fair share of shit storms. I don't know why, but the last 3 weeks on that job I was constantly angry. I can't figure out if it was exhaustion, too much caffeine, too much idiocy, the isolation or a lack of general knowledge of how things are done that got me so fired up, but fired up I got. I quit a quarter of the way through the day and bam was out of Carnduff faster than you could blink, at a cost to my pocket of around 3000. Did I mention that the contract only had three days left until it was over. Ya, I'm a fucking idiot.
So, I'm sitting here, stressing out because I haven't heard back from the company on the email I sent regarding my reasons for quiting that project and although I DID receive a call to go to work this week, I overslept and missed orientation. As orientation is only done once a week AND the job was only a week long, I shit the bed. So now, two black marks on my record as I can see.
Thank the gods that money isn't an issue right now. I managed to save up enough scratch that I can afford my move and tickets for this summer as well as around 3 months rent, bills and food(give or take) with a bit left over. I was GOING to get a TV with the money, but tonight instead decided to be a bit self destructive and spent a bit more than I should have as well as commiting myself to a trip to Winnipeg later today(Sherry I am sorry for flaking, but sometimes you gotta do what needs to be done).
Meh, shit happens I guess. Other than that, things are going well. I am hoping against hope that my computer get here soon. I know that Shaun_a_m is busting his ass to get it to me before Jan, but we are now in the postal deadlock season. I'm thinking of sacrifing a small male sheep(ram) in gigabits(bad pun alert) in order to insure that it arrives at the start of Jan so that I can do the following:
Buy Serato
Get Tracks
Get practiced up enough for my gig on Jan 22nd.
The gig of course is dependant on whether or not I work the next day. If I have an early slot I might still play and then come home and have a REALLY tired day at work on Friday. We'll see.
Well, that is all I really have to say for now, not much else that is new and exciting.
See you in the Void.
