Hello from MD...

Well, I’ve been down here since Monday AM at the new ‘job’, and I can’t say that I’m all that happy…

Came down here with minimal information about the job (military contract blah), and it turns out that I’m working 6 days a week, which leaves me with basically no time to come home. I’ve never been one to ‘live to work’, I’ve always ‘worked to live’, so living in a hotel, going to work and coming back and repeating it the next day is basically the worst thing imaginable for me (career wise), I mean I knew that was what I was getting into but I thought that I’d be able to come home 1x a week.

On the brightside, I’ll be able to pay off all of my debt fairly quickly with the money that I am making down here (~100K a year after taxes), but I’m not a very happy camper in the meantime.

Anyway, I’m done crying, I hope everyone is doing well and I’ll try to check in when I can.

PS, the weights at Golds feel heavier then the weights at the gym at home, ha.

What are you doing? hard labor or some kind of tech job?

Heavy aircraft electrical (avionics) upgrades.

Interesting to see that you’ve found your price (for the moment).

It’s not necessarily to work a job you don’t enjoy for a small time frame for good money, but making a long term career out of it becomes dreadful.

I’m personally one of those people that would rather be just making ends meet but “never working” resulting from enjoying what you do instead of counting down the minutes of a day to end for a nicer paycheck.

nothing wrong with hard work from time to time

holy shit… that sounds complicated

So you’re in the military now?

Im assuming its Military sub-contracted to civilians.

Nice to hear youre makin good $, but it sucks not having a life. Gotta do what ya gotta do though brotha!

I don’t mind the actual work down here, it’s just the fact that I am not too far from home, but working 6 days a week that pisses me off.

Hell no, ha, I got out in 2002 and I don’t think there is enough money in the world to get me to go back in.

Yep, it’s all military aircraft. Once the debts are paid off I’ll resume my normal life.

good luck down there, trav

Thanks. I’ll need it. I should be back for a day and a half sometime next week and maybe every few weeks thereafter (basically going to be ‘sick’ now and then, fuck’em, although I do need to go back fairly soon as I did not pack enough to be stuck here weeks on end).

yea that is 100% exactly what im sayin to, FUCK that man

forward all military questions to brett :rofl

anyways jokes aside dude take it easy im really glad you landed the job (lol) (lol haha that was corny) i know it really sucks about the last job, shit happens i guess, too good to be true sometimes

Yeah, Eclipse was the dream job for me. It was great while it lasted:'(

yea =/ well hey man u should still celebrate for the fact u got the new job, i mean shit thats awesome too ! too bad u dont really have time to party tho lol…

Just smoke mad weed dude, the time will fly.

If you need a guy in MD hit me up. :rofl

Travis thinks people that smoke pot are scumbags.

People that smoke pot think that Travis is a douche then.

Good luck man and when u get a day off let us all know so we can get together.

Hi, how are you doing…:retardclap

Thanks, and hopefully I can get a few days off in a couple months.

You used to work for the new Eclipse aviation building in Albany international?
