Seems like a good day to do blogs apparently. I suppose I will do a blog every Wednesday. Not sure why, but it just seems to work out that way at least. Had a short day at work today due to my sister needing a ride home from the airport. Kind of a good things as I am not a morning person and I am up at 4:45 every day for work now. On the bright side, I should be making $40/hour or so in 5 years if all goes well. Probably should have done this a long time ago rather than jumping around from dead-end job to dead-end job. No point dwelling on the past though, only thing to do is look to the future.
Thinking by November of next year, I should hopefully have enough money saved up to put a down payment on a house and possibly be in a position to be able to sell my (new) car that I don't like as much as I was hoping I would when I bought it, and get something a little more... Me! Between now and then I will become a first year electrician. I think this winter I might try to get a job at the airport again, but as a casual employee. Which basically means that I would only need to work 25 hours over a 5 week spread at a minimum, and I would still get the amazing flight benefits! Last time I worked at the airport, I could fly anywhere the airline travelled for under $100 round trip. Unfortunately, it didn't pay very well, so I couldn't afford to go anywhere because once you are there, you need to find a place to stay, eat, have spending money to do things etc. I took advantage of the benefits still however. Flew to visit friends/family that live far away. Was a great experience, and I really enjoyed the job and people I worked with. Well, it's almost bed time as I work tomorrow, so, for anyone reading, I say thankee sai!
