...and I'll be back on the 28Th. I've been home more than I've been working lately. Since November 1st I've worked 56 days out of a possible 110. OK, so technically I've worked 50.9% of the time. Regardless, it's not good. I keep hearing that things are picking up and the schedule is getting full but I won't believe it till I see the money in the bank. I've had this one site on my schedule for a while. Last week I had a few others show up but they disappeared the next day. I had a few more show up yesterday but I'm not holding my breath that they'll stay.
I've spent the last week trying to figure where to go next. I applied for a few jobs online and sent my resume off to a few friends and family that said they would be willing to help me find a new job. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to quit my job today in hopes of a new job that I don't have yet, I'm just keeping my options open. One of my fellow road warriors/co-workers/blogger's put it best when she said she 'just wants to be a housewife.' I know I'm single and not even in a relationship (let alone dating) but the idea of being a homebody, cooking dinner, joining some sort of community organization or (gasp) a choir is appealing to me. In 12 years of work history I've never had a regular 9-5 job-with the exception of one summer job in college. A year ago I was eager to travel the country and today I just want to work near home and have nights and weekends free.
Well, I need to finish doing my laundry and pack my bag. I hate this part of the job. I've never been to Oklahoma, it should be interesting.
