The New Job….
I thought I really ought to get around to an update here… I started a new job this last week, yup I am five days into my new/old career.
I worked for this company before, about four years ago, but traded up or at least thought I had until the condo crash.
I am back in heating and cooling sheet metal again. Building and installing duct work in whatever job I am on at the moment.
It took a four dollar an hour raise from what I made with them before to lure me back in, but it was also more than I was making in the roofing business! Plus it is much closer to home and the savings in gas is enough to count as another raise….
Now if only our Government can keep from driving small businesses bankrupt I will have a “solid” career for awhile.
It feels good to put what I know back into use again, and exercise my years of experience before they rust away.
Hopefully I can get back to writing again soon, the physical stress of holding a construction based job at 50+ takes its toll, as does leaving for work early and returning at the height of the Florida summer heat and humidity.
At least we are surviving again and the lights are on….
