*Karma* *sigh*
I just finished my Oregon Trades Woman course. I think 20/23 women started and like 11 or so of us finished. Some shit like that. I knew from the get I'd be in the Graduation Picture.
So my life has changed alot in such a short time. I need to go around looking for jobs tomorrow. I might look for a Hazardous Waste Management job.
They want to pay welders shit wages. I want to buy all my own stuff for welding. We are in the process of buying a house and I will have my own shop in the garden area. It will be nice. I'll probably take some pcc couses and have my uncle Mark show me some stuff and do all my ornate stuff as a hobby.
I'm thinking seriously about getting a linesman job through the UNION. They start out about 24 bucks an hour. The tree trimmers make 14 to start. I'm down with it- it's physically demanding and I need to drop a couple sizes. I can always do my welding at home- with all my tools/toys and I can do sidejobs for friends and family as a carpenters assistant. I'm already planning on helping one of my buddies do some stuff on her moms place. That should be a good time.
So like my dad lives in this area now. Happy Happy Joy Joy
I guess he moved in with my grandmother. Must be nice to be like 50 something and living with your parents. Wheres my sweet hook-up like that???? Oh that's right. I'm just a little more responsible than that. Not alot- but a bit more.
Oh yeah- and theres the fact that you couldn't pay me enough to live with my father.
My mom I can stand in little spurts but my father is a complete and total jack-ass.
The last time I talked to him- he swore he was going to get a peternity test to see if him or my uncle is my actual father. *shrugs* whatever - who needs to know who their birth parents are anyway????? right???? It was the early seventies- free love was still in the air. Good times.
So- Sean and I are split up. Again. It's good for both of us. We get along much better apart. We both want each other to be happy. I'm sure we'll be room-mates for eons. I don't plan on hooking up with ANYONE anytime soon. I have come to realize that I REALLY DO need my own time and space. This is actually a MUST if I'm ever going to get my shit together. I can not bounce from relationship to relationship.

But I do think you should be able to work non-union in government construction .. it would allow for fairer bids and faster construction ....
