Sleep!

May 16, 2006 11:58

Went to take a nap at 7:30 last night, local time. My hosts were supposed to wake me up an hour later, but I woke up at 3:30. I'm guessing they weren't able to wake me: I went back to bed, and slept for another five hours. Hopefully I caught up.

Going out tomorrow night with a friend of a friend, I still have to contact family and search for jobs.

About jobs: a company is hiring people that want to become electricians. The pay scale is decent, around $14/hr in the first year, going up to $30 at the end of four years, assuming you pass your courses. My cousin didn't finish his first year, taking the first teaching job he was offered. People thought he was crazy: he'll never make as much money teaching as he could with electric work. How I wish it was so easy to find good programming jobs.

I'm still discovering this city, but I'm impressed about some aspects. More about that later; now I have to get cracking on projects and a job hunt.
