Back to Work! ^_^

Alright family. Tomorrow morning I go back to work.

Unfortunately, I've chosen to take a job at the chemical plants again, the same one I cursed and spit at before in the past.

Why would I go back, you wonder?

It's close to home, it yields excellent pay for minimal skill, I already have an established reputation and power base there, I know the jobs and routines, I drive my sister Jamie there everyday anyway, and I know I can do the job, and do it well.
I left the place for a variety of reasons. One, with minimal job experience, I had felt 'trapped' there, felt forced to stay because I had no skills to move on and improve my life. I thought I was doomed to be a slave there for the rest of my life. I was also less mature at the time, and unwilling to deal with some of the assholes at the site.
I'm older now, I have a lot more experience tucked under my belt. I have a nice truck, a loving family, and the knowledge that I can break away at any time if I need to go.

So, even though my ethics of a 'green world' will be constantly shattered at the sight of spewing gas vents and floating metal dust in the air, I'll be able to save up for something worthwhile. Sherritt will be hiring some helpers soon, full-time, so even though I'm joining a contractor company right now, I have opportunities to get a slacker job in the near future.

Orientation tomorrow morning at 7am, after that, a full day of work. Yay! Money again.

Later peeps. I gotta go buy a watch for work later on today.
