Whoa, I haven't been on LiveJournal in over a year it seems.  A lot has happened.  I'm now living in Paducah, KY, working in Metropolis, Illinois as an inspector at a nuclear plant.  The place refines raw uranium ore into a form that can be enriched.  It's the only plant of it's kind in the U.S.  I deal with a lot of strong acids and radioactive ( Read more... )

Well I did it.  I completed my ultrasound courses in Hoover, AL.  Then I drove straight to Houston, TX for a job interview.  I got a job making $30/hr at at an industrial ultrasound company.  I start April 4th ( Read more... )

Hell of a weekend.  Got to spend time with a lot of people I enjoy being around.  Really got the pep back in my step ( Read more... )

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 ( Read more... )

Boy I am just not enjoying things right now.  Very much disliking work.  Not a whole hell of a lot to do when I get home.  Single life isn't all its cracked up to be ( Read more... )

My room is messy.  I try to keep it organized, but when I get things in decent order my cat goes and pukes all over everything.  This is a reoccurring cycle that has happened perhaps 200 times.  Stupid vomit cat will gorge himself on food and then spew it out on my :floor, bed, weight-lifting bench, computer wires, clean clothes container (with ( Read more... )

So I was reading about Maslows hierarchy of needs (you know,  the triangle with the segments like basic needs, emotional needs, some other stuff, )  That article took me to another one that said you should explore and improve your talents so that you can lead a more fulfilling life.  Well that's all well and good ( Read more... )

I don't know how to work the logistics of this.  I've been in contact with a company in Houston.  Took and subsequently passed my test that certifies me to perform ultrasound in refineries.  I thought I had failed the test (for some reason I think I fail all of them), and did not interview with that company while I was in Houston.  Anyways, its a ( Read more... )
