Career path

Wow, so my life is about to change pretty drastically. I'm scared, but I'm excited. So right now, Olde world restoration is sort of merging, or perhaps being absorbed by this new company. We will be working for a new boss, which is cool, but he's gonna want to see some serious hours put in as well as hard work in the factory. So, it's going to be a permanent change of scenery from carpentry.

So, here's my situation, I'm returning to school. This means that I will only be available to work wednesday through friday and every other saturday. This will leave me with only 4 days off a month, plus I will only be able to see my wife on 2 of them. So, that really sucks. My main concern is whether or not my new boss will find this acceptable.

So, I was worried about money, now I'm worried about having too much work poured on me. The upside to all of this is the potential to work my way up the latter in this new company since I'm getting in pretty close to the ground floor. So, best case scenario, my new boss might have me move right into the office once I have my degree. The other thing that sucks about that though is that Al will probably be really disappointed with the fact that I'm phasing out carpentry....to some degree. I think I'll always be involved in the industry in some way, but I would really like my career path to be more administrative. We shall see what happens and where God is going with all this.

Pitching

I've hopefully entered into a new era of my softball career. Pitching. I don't want to speak too soon, but I think there is a possibility of a future for me on the mound. My debut was on thursday night when I pitched the second game of a double header and did pretty well. Since then I've been practicing a lot on my own and have been getting better. And tonight, at the tail end of ODBC-Red's second game against Cornerstone, Eric Litke subs me in to pitch and close out thte game. I dropped in some strikes, kept the batters swinging for junk and I sewed it shut. What a great night. I really look forward to my next oppurtunity to pitch again. I just hope I don't blow it.

p.s. I really feel like this is the end of the episode and I'm Doogie Howser just typing away at the end of the night. (Theme song in my head).

The blogging continues

Hey, blog. It's been awhile. But I'm back and I just gave you a face lift. Anyway,my interests have been pulling me in so many directions lately that I've been neglecting some and perhaps over involving myself in others. For instance, I've been way too into softball lately with no real payout but I haven't been reading the Bible or going to church much which yields massive payout. I also am getting back into fishing and I'm not screwing around. My brother and I are going out on these midnight expeditions and going after the BIG fish that don't allow themselves to get caught during the day. I almost caught a 6 lbs monster bass the other night around 1:00 am but he got off the hook 3 seconds from the net. But anyway, I feel like my life has too much going on and it's really stressing me out. I recently retired from worship team to help reduce the clutter and open up my schedule a little more. Between Work, my family (with newborn son Lincoln), softball, chores, and fishing I don't have any time for Disc golf, biking, working out, reading, target shooting, craft projects/woodwork, music, etc..etc. So, my life is pretty booked up. And, I also am a stress eater so I gained a ton of weight back and now I have to get that under control.
