Life is like a twisted road.

life is a clouds of cover, Waves of energy splash over my mind, sitting in a catch made of sand, open up yourself to the world that is out there, the milky ring aournd me enchants me, you inspre me to be so crazy, you inspire to be free, life is a twisted road abicuty is what makes it lasts for ever, you've got to shine, can't read the light, tune in the sky, take it deeper and deeper inside, transitions from day into night, the euphoria of spinning in the moon light, open up your self to what is out there

This is what my mind is right now
no sense.

One Week is Everything, the Next Nothing.

Today I got let go from the job I had for just 3 weeks. First off I apoligize for not telling you all about the job i had gotten two days after I finished up with school. While I was still in school I found a job posting in the local paper for an opening for an apprentice at a local elctrical outfit. So I sent in a cover letter and a copy of my resume and didn't think too much of it, because I had heard theat other people in my class had sent letters to the same place. About a week later while I was waiting to go in for a job interview, M called and told me that the guy from Pacific electric had called saying that he had recived my resume and would like to talk to me. I got his number and called him up and set up a time to meet. I was able to meet with him the next day, and the interview went good, well thatt's what I had thought at the time.

The following day I got a call from him asking if I had thought about taking the position, I was quite surprised to hear from him, because he told me that he wouldn't be getting back to me for two or three days. So later that day I went to the Department of Labor and Industries to get my Electrican Trianee's card, and later that day I started work doing residential wiring.

The work was hard but fun. Andy the owner and boss also hired a fellow classmate of mine who I knew pretty well. We started with the basics, putting face plates onto receptacles, and switches and the like. Over the next two weeks we learned the lingo, how to wire recesed lighting cans, driving grounding rods, putting up smoke detectors, outside outlets and lights. We started working on what's called "final trim", which is when your putting the final touches on everything and the like. The next job was the "rough in" in which the house is all bare inside. No walls, no isululation and no electricity. During the rough in we put up all the baxes for switches, lights, smoke detectors, ceiling fans and door bells. then you drill hole in between the boxes soe that you can run wire to them. The key is to do it super fast and not waste time doing it.

I admit I enjoyed the Final trim work better than the rough in, but during all the work I did I enjoyed it very much. Which brings us to this afternoon. Long story short, I was not working out as well as Andy had hoped, he had to go back and double check everything that I had done , and he didn't have the time to do that, and I wasn't fast enough, that too.

He called me about an hour after I had gotten home from work and he told me that he was going to have to let me go. I'm still somewhat in a state of BLAH. So yeah there you go. So now I have to find another job that pays as much as he was paying my and which is full time. One week is everything, the next nothing. One more thing, things always seem to have a wierd way of working out.

Ok first you need a little back story to this picture. When I was younger and when my family went on vacation my brother would usually fall asleep as soon as we got onto the road. We would look towards the back of the van to find Andrew asleep with his head leaning to one side like my son here. When Maralise came and got me to see how he had fallen asleep, I laughed and told M that he was imitating his Uncle Andrew. This is for you Andrew, may you have a good nights sleep.  Posted by Hello
