That's awesome man! Good to know you're getting along well in school. Your job sounds like a lot of fun. I ran a CNC mill on graveyard shifts during my first year of school, though I didn't fiddle with any programming. Very monotonous job for me, but as you said the pay is pretty decent.
Relationships are tough, but luckily we're still young enough to not have to worry about them too much. I really don't follow Pokemon anymore, didn't even know of the new games coming out. I bought a 3DS back when X and Y came out, and I really did not care for he gameplay in those titles at all, so I don't think I'll be continuing to play the series.
I guess I'll throw a little life update out there as well...
So I went to school for two semesters, didn't care for my major so I then switched to Diesel Technology for 2014-2015 semesters. Absolutely loaded course, first semester I was there M-F from 8a.m. to 5p.m. with a 1 hour commute each way, then second semester was the roughly the same schedule, minus the Friday class and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were 8a.m. to 10p.m. Unfortunately I lost my father about a month before I finished the program last year, but I stuck it out and finished. Haven't done anything with the credentials as now I'm home running the family business, which is fine with me really as I never planned to leave for very long - maybe a handful of years or so, just to kind of reinforce what I learned in school. I'm with the same woman that I've been with for quite some time now, and our first son was just born towards the end of last year. Young parenthood, to me, is a lot better than what everyone says. He really brightens my day.
So here we are now, our own little home, our family and the new edition puppy we just picked up the other day. Things are going fairly well for me. I've been blessed and don't have any money issues. I do a lot of odd jobs after work that we have no reason to worry, and when my lady finishes up school it'll be even better.
I really am pretty jealous of your job. I really want to get into machining, since I only touched on it with that one job and a little bit in school, so I've been busting my hump this last month or so trying to save up some cash for a decent vertical milling machine. I've got enough spare cash now to pick up a nice older unit and some tooling, now it's just shopping around until I find the right deal. Sorry for the long winded comment.
so what is the family business? And hows being a parent?
