There's Life Outside the Net
Those who know me via the web probably thought I died or had my IP blocked from the world. This is my first blog and/or forum post since late March 2004. The reason why is a change in jobs. I went from a third shift system admin who had way to much free time to burn to a daytime truck driver for a uniform company. You can only imagine how much computer time I lost in the change. It's all for the best though. Trust me. Yes, on third shift I could play all night on the web on sites and various video games. I was the only one at work so I could have a beer or venture to the parking lot for a "smoke". So many freedoms and luxuries, but my health and well being was slowly deteroirating. Third shift is great if you are a single person. However, if you have a family and you are fully involved with them, it is very hard to get sleep. I was barely clocking 4 hours of sleep at a time and don't get me started on my days off. On my days off I would immediatly switch back to a normal schedule. In order to do that I would have to stay up for 30+ hours at least twice a week.
My new job has me up at 5AM. I'm used to being awake at that hour, and I am used to waking up. I'm not one to sleep in or stay in bed. Never was. The new job is fine. I love driving a big ass delivery truck. I love the physical labor. (I was getting a little soft.) I even lost 10lbs so far. All this work and 10+ hour work days, I am exhausted. Then I rush home to be with the wife and kids. I don't ignore them and glue my eyes to the computer.
Once I get my own route and I can get everything down to a routine, I will find more time for the net. And possibly updating this blog alot more than I do now. However, I will not post on more than half of the forums that I used too. Only the ones that serve as useful and not places of flamage and useless drivel.
Also, my new job did result in a slight pay cut for now. It will get better. However, I still need my cool toys and you can help me earn some free ones. You too can also earn a free one as well. Check out these links below.
