Oh Heck!

I will post more considering things happen that i want to talk about all the time! I think my lazy streak is passing.

I really like my new job. It is not my dream job but I really really like it. I work for the energy conservation part of my company which means that on some days I spend a lot of time being completely covered in recycled newspaper. It's hard work but there are a lot of incentives and today I get sponsored in the carpenters union which is very awesome. It means that I get to go to carpentry school for free and I get a number of benefits and other avenues for work once I'm done with my apprentice work. What is really cool about my job is that there is only one other woman in the program besides me who is older and who has never done this kind of work before but you can see her confidence growing . She knew the program manager and he was able to get her the position. It's not what she wants to do but seeing that the company she was at before fired her for something on her record 19 years ago and that she had children shes up for the challenge. We talked yesterday and although she seems weary of her up and coming tasks I think its awesome to see her getting excited about things that secretly are empowering her. For example yesterday she went on top of a roof and she never does that but she was really proud of herself for doing it. That's something that you will get from this type of position (especially for women) that you can take with you and really feel like a strong person.

Well, besides all of this I think I'm going to move back in with Deb (my mother) :(
It would only be for a while to pay off some of my credit card debt. I really don't want to but I know if I prolong not making a dent then I wont be able to really do the things I want to do in the future....like buy a house or travel across seas. I don't know what the status is on people who are 25 and live with their mother..lol. I'm assuming it's still loser status like it's always been. After everything I've experience you wouldn't think that I would care about things like that but still I do. I guess that means I have a lot to learn still.
