[ ! ] The Sugarbuzz Project Redefining me…

What would Chad Vader do?

Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?

Something I have learned over the past few years is this: looking for a job is harder than actually doing the job in most cases.

I am, as of Monday, without a 'boss'.

Now, most of the blog wielding freelancers that I know of would be thrilled with this prospect, especially after spending years running on the proverbial corporate-hamster-wheel-of-doom. Not me. Why? Because, this wasn't one of those 'screw you, I'm workin' for me' deals. Basically, it's not good to be the one who has an example made of them. You know, driving an 18-wheeler through tight turns isn't quite as easy as you might think.

Granted, there really wasn't that much damage done to either the cattle guard or the trailer. Still, the company has had 5 incidents in the past month, and for a company with only about 10 trucks, that's a pretty high percentage of goof-ups. The boss was forced to change the company policy - which happened while I was off-duty, so naturally I didn't know about the change.

Fortunately, the boss is a fair, kind man who decided to call it a lay-off rather than a 'get out', so even though I was only with the company for two months, he is willing to give me a good reference, as well as some photos of rhinoplasty. Strange man, I'm not sure if he was trying to tell me that I needed a nose job, or if I just needed to get my nose worked on. Maybe I snored when I was at work. I wonder what I'd look like...

So that means that now we have to move. Meh. I hate moving, don't you?

Anyway, the last two jobs I've held have been no longer than three months. The first one just did not pay enough to justify staying there (and not enough to cover the bills), and this one, well, accidents happen. I don't know a single truck driver that hasn't damaged something. Big trucks + tight spaces = crunchy.

That's my long explanation why I haven't been working on this site much in the past few days. I'm hoping that something changes for the better soon. I've got plans for a couple of nice articles, but for now, I must focus on what is important.

Namely, that cold glass of tea sitting about two feet from me...
