self reflection v9.0

Yes I know, it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted but hell barely anyone comments anyways. Makes me wonder if this thing is even on. Webninja is meant to be my personal journal, when I have time to update it I do, so with that in mind, it doesn’t matter that nobody has really replied.

Anyways, things in my life have been crazy. Back in April I took on the task of organizing Autovations for MNSC. At first I thought that it’d be easy. As crunch time wound down, I found out how stressful organizing 23 people showing at a car show can be. In the past 2 years I spent plenty of time working on my car. By plenty of time I mean 6-10 hours cleaning and preparing it at the show. This year I managed to spend about an hour on my car and I was there more than anyone else. I was the first person there and the last person out the door this year as far as our club is concerned. The trouble paid off when we took home the best team participation trophy. I learned alot about myself during the week, as well with who I can trust and who really trusts me.

As usual my life in the summer is in high gear, it’s why it’s difficult to find time to post here. Between cars and djing I’m never around the house to do things as simple as laundry. I’ve been considering moving to the 3rd shift here at work. I’d work 9pm-7am Monday-Thursday. The big difference is I’d get a 15% raise. A few years ago I took a look at how much money people are making doing jobs and kind of planned out how much I want to make by certain ages. If I take this job, I’ll hit my goal for what I want to make by the time I’m 25.

One I can switch my schedule over I think there would be plenty of benefits to the shift. First off I’d have more daylight in the winter. I’d get home, probably sleep till 12-2 and then actually see what it’s like outside. Once snow is on the ground this includes snowboarding. As it is I work till 6 which means if I go to Hyland I can’t be on the hill till 7. Since they close at 9, that’s 2 hours when I’m paying for a full day. Plus once I leave work Friday morning, I don’t have to go back until Monday night. That’s one hell of a trade off if you ask me. The biggest problem I’ll have is trying to fix my sleep schedule.

When I had just graduated and was just working 2nd shift at McDonalds, I had all day to do things. It was a weird difference. I’d sleep late, wake up and take care of the things I had to take care of for me, hell I even was working out daily. I think going to 3rd shift will do this. I’ll have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and part of Friday for myself, then the weekend for friends. My DJ “career” will suffer a bit since getting a weekend gig is a hell of alot harder than something during the week but with Sean and now Jake as part of Nascent Numen, I’m not worried.
