Wow. It’s been well over four months since I’ve last blogged. I was in need of a serious recharge. I have tons of pics and footage of my latest adventures as well as my adventures of the past that have yet to see the light of day. It does feel good to be back on the blogosphere after a long time. Not gonna lie, some things, some projects I let “get away”, i.e. some classes that I wanted to take up and my job at the time-my last go-round as a school bus driver-had hindered some of the things that I had planned to do when I left my airline catering job. Biggest (and dumbest) move that I regret to this day! I had it all. Weekly pay, health benefits that’ll give the Big Three some serious competition, a good investment plan. I let that go because it ate up so much of my time.
Example: I stay on the opposite side of town which is a half hour drive to the airport (headache no.1), during the winter months, I’d leave an hour-and-a-half just to make a 30 minute trip just to fight traffic and the heavy weather, it got very very tiresome to say the least (headache no.2). We’d be asked to stay longer than expected, delayed flights, and traffic on the way home from work (headache no. 3). I enjoyed the work, the job was gravy, but it was way too much. So I tried to give the School Bus one last shot.
Another dumb move!
It’s been six plus years since I’ve last drove the “yellow cheese”, but this go-round was worse than the last couple of times I’ve driven the school bus. Five schools consecutively, leaving virtually no time to get a bathroom break! And it’s over half the staff at the terminal who has to do it! Plus, we had to pay for our own insurance (which was a major pain in the butt), and they wanted us to join a union where we didn’t have enough people to form a union! It was just a big headache.
Fast forward to now!
I still drive commercially, but as a contractor for the US Government, and things are looking way better for me now. I can now look into other streams of income whilst keeping this one (become just one doesn’t do it anymore these days), I’m literally minutes away from home, and the pay’s beautiful, so now as I heal from my inadvertent self-inflicted wounds, I can also get back into my old hobbies, such as photography, working out, as well as my blogging. As you can tell, I’ve missed out on quite a bit since mid-September.
I’ve got a lot of catching up to do….
