Work and Changes

Due to long working hours and very little time off from work (working weekends) it has been awhile since my last post. But since I have a moment I figured that I would do a quick update ;) I have dropped my Accounting class. I was doing well in the class at first (A-/B+) but then my production line started again and I fell behind in my class. I was behind the exact amount of time my line had been running (4 weeks)...imagine that. Working12+ hours a day AND weekends, I have had no time do homework let alone sleep or even see my husband and friends. I was too far behind to catch up, so I dropped the class.

At this point I don't even think I want to do pursue my MBA anymore. I am now considering the pursuit of a PE license. I would take the FE (or EIT) Exam then after 5 years take the test for my PE license. My background before going to the plant is in design and projects, so it will not be a huge leap for me. After working in the "fire" for over 2 years, I miss having a life. When working in design and projects, late hours are dependent upon the project and then that ENDS after a certain amount of time. In the plant, the long hours can go on for days, weeks, months, or even years (I am at years). I have my production experience and now I want to get out.

I talked about bike commuting in some of my past posts. I have been unable to even attempt it because I don't know what time I will get off work. It is usually 8 or 9 pm on an average night. Too dark and late to ride.

Change will come in the future...stay tuned...
