It's Payday

A little over a year ago, I received a separation from the corporation that I worked for. This past year, the work search has been very dry in the area of I.T. jobs. Out of frustration, I took on lots of home renovation work. I've been busting my knuckles for the past 5 weeks doing tile work, hardwood flooring, painting -- anything to get my hands on. Finally, today is payday !! I'm starting to receive checks for the work which amounted to $20K. Plus, I'm having a blast doing this work and I no longer get tired like I would if I was a desk jockey in some office. Additionally, my wife gets bombarded from me when I need tools for work. "Honey, I'm going out to buy 2 Porter Cable nailers and a compressor ... or, honey, I just ordered a hardwood flooring nailer ... or, honey, I'm going to buy a new 2400 PSI pressure washer." Damn, this is fun. Seriously, all the tools are needed for work, but had I purchased them for just my hobbies, it would have been a big waste.

Life is fun! 🙂

Thanks for reading.

 
Dude, that kicks ass. Kind of makes you tihnk about the end of Office Space, only that you aren't shoveling wreckage but building stuff, etc. That is reallly awesome!
