Friday, September 08, 2006 So I know it's been like forever since I posted, but I've been doing the whole myspace thing a lot lately. Hopefully though this semester won't be too bad. I'm back up at Johnson Bible College, and hopefully I will graduate sometime this year--I hope. Anyway, I'll put more on later when I have more time--Rick. Thursday, April 27, 2006 Alright, so guess what everyone, I am not at home right now but instead am in a girl's dorm--uh oh, Mike, what oh what could I be up to? Oh please help I may not make it out of here alive. Monday, February 13, 2006 So I have just found out that my best friend from over in the desert got engaged today, not only engaged but to the girl that I was interested in while we were over in the desert. Oh well, I guess it shows you how much life is not predictable. Congrats goes out to Michael and Amanda, and I hope they are happy together. On this side of it all, it is a bit wierd seeing another couple go on to the next level while I am still in the dating phase that I have never broken. Every couple I have known has either broken up, or ended up married through my friends in high school and college. In fact I am the last remaining room mate from college to not be married. I suppose I will be the last. Wednesday, February 08, 2006 Alright so I'm back at work and seem to be doing alright. The first day back I pulled a double shift and earned a whopping $125 in tips, not too shabby. But these past two days I have only made $49 and $53 respectively. Oh well, it was during the slow days throughout the week so hopefully it will start picking up again. I really want to make at least between $300-350 a week. This is doable I think because it is what I was making before I left to go over to the sandbox. Anyway, let me know what yall are up to--Rick. Friday, February 03, 2006 Alright, granted I know that I have not been keeping up on my bargain of being on here much, but I will keep trying at it. So here is the scoop as to all the things that have not been going the way I envisioned them when I was over in the desert: 1) Work--When I was stuck in the sand pits I contacted my employer numerous times as to when I wanted to start back which was supposed to be 1 FEB 06, but unfortunately I was unable to do so. Instead of keeping me on the books like I thought they were going to, they dropped me because I hadn't worked there in a while, which was not my fault due to military activation. Truth be told I would have rather been working 40+ hours a week there than being stuck where I was for a year, plus the training time away from home. So because they dropped me they made me re-apply which included a personality quiz which is supposed to be able to tell them how well I will work. Well the results came back, a dismal, which meant that they placed me in the red category. This meant that I was more than likely to quit working there within the first 3-6 months. Now for all those who don't know me that well, I have been working for this company for two years before I even left to go over to the desert, and now they weren't going to be able to hire me back because I was considered a 'risk'. But the managers went ahead and fixed the problem so I should be starting back this Monday, which hopefully is soon enough. 2) Finances-- Because I was not able to get right back to work I am going to be strapped a little until my IRS refund comes in, but that should only be for a week or two. Nothing too bad I hope. But hopefully everything will work out alright with all of that. 3) Education-- Now this is something that I completely did not expect. I only have about 36 hours left in order to finish my BS degree in Youth Ministry and Bible, which is not that big of a deal. But I had planned on attending a summer class and doing an internship this summer so that I would not be so stressed out when finishing my last semester. Now I am being told that there may be a possibility of not being able to do either of those because I have been out of school since 2003. Needless to say being activated with the military doesn't really seem to matter yet, hopefully it will though. Don't get me wrong, everyone I have been talking to at the school has been very nice and pleasant to deal with, its just that I really didn't want to spend another six months here, especially since I want to get into the Chaplain Corps and become an officer. I was really planning on finishing with some kind of speed, graduating in May, and moving on with my life. But it seems that that might not be possible, something I am not altogether thrilled with. Oh well, hopefully things will work out the way they are supposed to. 4) Transportation-- My brother and I are sharing a vehicle at the moment because neither one of us can figure out what is wrong with his Raider. We're dropping it off at the shop tomorrow, so hopefully they will be able to figure out what is wrong with it, and I really don't want it to be too expensive. Granted my brother did find a job and is going to be able to take care of things in that area, but I don't want him to be strapped so early on in moving back to TN. Anyway, that is just a small look into what the CIVILIAN life is doing for me lately. Don't get me wrong, I still would choose this any day over being told what to do every minute of every day. I will try to be on here a bit more, sorry for being absent so much. Take it easy--Rick. |
