Carajo!
For the next month I think I’m going to have to live off of Pasta! The cost of living is no joke. Good lord! If I was living at home I would probrably be out eating everyday no doubt about that… but even with the money that I save and the budget that I am on, dining out is a bit too much for me right now… y eso… que por ahi viene el cumple año de la novia mas el dia de los enamorados… I’m in trouble… Wait!! not to worry… if you don’t live in Dominican Republic, here in the US we have something thats called Income Tax!!! hehe… niceeee un chequesito que no se esperaba… I can’t go wrong in the month of February…
Red Bull is my best friend right now… My sleeping pattern is all messed up because I work from 6pm to 6am one day, have the next day off, and back to work @ 6am to 6 pm… I have no idea why or how I manage. Starting Monday I’ll be working 8-4pm for the next month so thats something to look forward to… Oh… I was blown away by one of my co-workers… He is a mechanical engineer with over 15 years of expirience… All I have to say is that I am extremely happy with the career decisions I have made to get to where I am. I don’t know how people don’t move up knowing about the job opportunities out there.
With that being said… I am about 4 months ahead of myself… hehe… The bid I put in was only good enough for 3 interviews… I finally got word that because other employees would probrably feel recentment for placing a new employee at the level of management open before someone with more seniority who applied for the same position, I had to be turned down… damn… There were two circumstances that would have guaranteed the job… They were… length of employment of 6 months or simply an outside hire applying for the position. But that would have never happened because the company always offers the jobs to its employees first… pero nah… I congratulated the old guy on the job and offered my help wherever he needed it. However…. I was offered another job… lol… For the next month I’ll be training employees on PLC’s and basic electric circuits. hehe… this was funny because I didn’t expect to get anything out of applying for the job but I have…
Moving right along my list of crap that I want to write about… The house. My little sister apparently thinks that heating oil is as cheap as water… Sure enough I check up on the house and since no one is sleeping there I set the thermostat @ 60 just to keep the boiler running… Pero no… this chic wants to heat the house up to 90 in less then 5 minutes so she raises the thermostat to 95, runs the water in the boiler out and forgets to bring the thermostat back down when the house temperature reaches a comfortable 72. I don’t get it…
And thats how the cookie crumbles… Next up will be living on my well planned budget and the things you learn how to cook when you first move out… hehe… Huevos con cachu, pasta en aseite con vegetales, mucho mangu, y en vez en cuando un bistek…
