I decided to have a little early celebration (hope I’m not jinxing myself). I had 2 prospective jobs last week. The first since last September!
I’m still waiting for confirmation and things change constantly in the offshore world, so I hope I’ll be going back to work soon. It’s a huge step down in both position and pay, but after more than 6 months out of work, I’ll take pretty much anything.
I’ve turned in applications at the Mathnasium, Hastings bookstore and Buc-ee’s in the last week. Tried to avoid applying to jobs like that as long as I could, but I need to do something to bring in some income. My savings are running down fast. 🙁
I’ve been stuck hanging around the house so long, broke, stressed and a little depressed. I think I can afford to take a little break. I’m heading to Houston today for the Zydeco Festival.
It’s going on all day. Lil Nate and the Zydeco Bigtimers, Step Rideau and the Zydeco Outlaws, Keyun and the Zydeco Masters, Gino Delafose & French Rockin’ Boogie, Platinum Players Zydeco Band and dif KO on the turntables are the featured players.
Zydeco Festival. I envy you. I would love to make the trek to Houston (from Waller County) but working nights, seven per week, and sleeping days has pretty much eliminated the want to’s in favor of the have to’s. Enjoy it for all of us who can’t be there.
It was fun Rick. I didn’t get there til much later than I’d planned. But I got to see 2 bands and part of another one. I’ll get around to posting about it soon. I have to get all my pictures on the computer and sorted out first.
I know what you mean about that schedule. I was on nights for years (offshore). I have one prospective job (won’t start til late Aug), that has some really weird schedule that changes every couple of days. I told them to put me down for it, but I seriously don’t know if I can work those hours with having to drive to work. I’d have at most 8 hours at home- thats to eat, sleep, cook, shower, and everything else! Less when they change schedule! Will wind up sleeping in my truck if I actually do get that job.
