So I got good news and bad news today.
BAD NEWS
With the change in plans, I won't be going to Sturgis this year. This is a bummer as it's my week away to really unwind, forget life and just have fun. Linda and I were talking about ironbutting it out there in a day, spending two days in Sturgis and then ironbutting it back in a day.
GOOD NEWS
I went in today to do all the new hire paperwork at Palmer Johnson, and when I was done they sent me to the wood shop to talk to Scott the Foreman there. I told him I was so damn excited that I could start tomorrow (I'm scheduled to start on 8/11) so he said fine, come in on Monday the 4th and you can start a week early. So, those are the plan changes that knocked Sturgis out of me, but I'm gladly giving up Sturgis to go to work a week early.
This will be a life changing job for me as I usually go to bed somewhere between 2-3:00am, now working 6:00am to 2:30pm, I'll have to leave home by 5:00am which means getting up at 4:15am which means bedtime is now somewhere between 9-10:00pm! Note to self...stock up on Black Dog!
