so, i now consider myself in training for my next work season. i had hoped to get on with a company who had lots of work here in town but, that no longer looks like it's going to happen. and that's cool. i'm preparing 4 months ahead of time for seriously physical/toxic work.
when people say "painter" they think spraying paint on the outside of a house, or rolling the walls in a house. but what i do isn't like that. industrial painting is mostly putting a protective coating system on steel. tanks, bridges, ships(i've never done a ship but, i'd like to), and that's different. even if it's brand new steel it still has to be sand blasted, and that's where the work is.
so, yippee!! i'm running, or something at the gym, 6 miles a day, to get ready to hold on to a fire hose that has 300 mph sand coming out of it for 12 hours a day.
yeah, finnishing my degree was too hard. this is way more fun.....
