So, I am becoming notorious for short entries, but that is because I'm at Job Corps, and it is hard to get time on a computer. So I will try my best now to let everyone that cares know what is going on.
I am going to be leaving Excelsior Springs Job Corps on Tuesday, February 7th. I will be in Lorton, VA which is really close to Washington D.C. My training starts the day after on the 8th. I will be training to be a train service attendant on the AMTRAK Autotrain route. My train will be running from Lorton, VA to Sanford, FL. My train is unique because it is nonstop and it also carries the customers vehicles behind the train, hence the name Autotrain. It is the only route like it in the United States. My rate of pay is going to be around $14 to $17 an hour, depending on where and what I am doing on that train for that particular run. There are about 5 different jobs that I will be trained how to do, and they range from making food, serving food, greeting, making beds and cleaning toilets, to a supervisory position called Lead Service Attendant. The tips that I am expected to make are amazing as well. Some of the people that I have talked to have told me that they have made almost $500 just on the way to Florida. Wow!
I already have an apartment there in Lorton within walking distance of the train station. My friend Johnette that graduated here from the ESJCC TCU program about 3 months ago has this same job and offered me a place to stay until I got on my feet. I am going to be looking for my own place soon though so that Brandon can move in with me. Right now he is working at Fry's, which is a family owned pizza place, in his hometown in southern Missouri, but they are already training him to be a manager, so I am very proud of him. He is saving so that he come up to Virginia as soon as I am ready for him. I cant wait. I am hoping to go see him this weekend. I have so many gifts to give him, and I miss him, and I know that is going to be a long time before we are able to see each other again.
My mother just had minor surgery done and she is in a lot of pain. She was supposed to come down here this weekend and we were going to drive down to see Brandon, but if she cant come, I hope that she can at least send me the money for a bus, because I have to see him. I just really hope that she is going to be ok. I worry about her health all the time, and I just want my mom to be ok. I am such a momma's girl. So shoot me.
If you guys have any questions, feel free to comment. Hopefully, once I get good with the company, I can take a couple of days off and go traveling and maybe I will be in your neck of the woods. Just keep in touch and we will see what happens. I miss you guys and your support means the world to me. Fucking keep in touch. Im scared of going to a new town! Well, more like excited. Ya know.
