Default Not what I was planning...

Well this kind of sucks but doesn’t at the same time.
I am in San Diego for work and I was supposed to come home in June.
Then I was told that I’m extended till mid July. No big deal, I could use the $$$.

Well now I'll be luck to see Christmas!!! Mid December could turn into February really easy. Then there is another job that starts in May that if I'm here could last another 6 Months. Not sure if the wife would be O.K. with that on top of all this...

Hope the wife dosn't kill herself with my oldschool snowblower.



OH Well, the weather is Nice.

Look at the bright side... you got work! I feel myself lucky that I'm in the same boat (no pun) as you. Only I get to come home on my days off.

Well the only reason I am out here is bacause the wife has been out of work for almost 9 months now.

OH Well... The weather is nice.
Man there are sweet cars everywhere here. Nice trucks too. I wish I could get my truck out here.

I herd a rumor that we are getting some work in CT after I get back. If i get that job, I could be there for a year.
$$ would be about the same, but the 3 hr drive to get laid ain't bad either.

Yep. Back in February I was on 114 in Danvers. I came to a stop at a light and the guy behind me apparently didn't feel like stopping. He hit me doing about 25 or 30mph, pushed me into the car in front of me, who got pushed into the car in front of them. Smashed up the front and rear of the truck, bent the radiator support, etc. Insurance totaled it.
