So, I can't sleep. I'm not even sure what I want to write about, I just kinda felt compelled to blog about all the stuff that's been going on. I graduated from Fire Academy back in May, and that was pretty sweet. I've been making fire runs whenever possible. Since I left OLLS, I've had a lot more freetime. I've pulled a few jobs with Vincent Lighting, and a couple of calls with the IATSE local. It's helped to pay the bills, but Mom and Dad have helped me out too. I hate money more than anything in the whole world. I wish I didn't have to work at all. However, in the world of work, there is some good news this month. I got the word that I have been officially hired at the Hamilton County Communication Center. I begin my 6-9 months of training on June 22nd. It's a way better gig than olls ever was. I'm starting at $17.33/hr, and there's tons of room for promotion and advancement. I'm both excited and very nervous.
I've been seeing Emily as much as possible, too. I don't like being away from her. We were both hoping to have the whole summer together, but I think we are making it work. What blows my mind is that our 1-year anniversary is coming up. I can't believe how fast our first year together has gone by. On one hand, I feel like I've known Emmy forever and ever, and on the other hand, this year has gone by in the blink of an eye. Emily makes everything good for me. When we are together, even just talking on the phone for five minutes a couple times a day, everything is right in the world. There's only one more school term to make it through before we are back together in the same city for good. I took Emmy to the Indy 500 on our annual trip with Tommy and Milena and crew. It was really nice to have a fun day like that with Emmy next to me the whole time.
I guess I just wanted to blog a little bit tonight because I feel all twitchy. I've never been out of work for this long, and even though I have a confirmed starting date, it just makes me uncomfortable to be sitting around on my butt so much. I wish that VLS or IATSE had at least a little bit more work for me in the meantime. I'm going to go to Nashville and visit my Emmy again this week, so we can celebrate our 1-year anniversary together, and then next week I'm going to Pittsburgh to see my folks for a little bit before I start at the Com Center. I just wish there was more to *do* other than fun stuff, cleaning up, and working out a few times a week. It makes me nervous just sitting around like this.
I guess that's it... I know this wasn't my most eloquently written post, but I just wanted to clear my head a little bit.
