So I graduated December and moved everything into storage; storage being mostly my parents basement and what room I could find in the trunk of my car. I think I've reached a Zen state of mind, emptying myself of all I don't need. Well mostly anyway.
I enjoyed Christmas and New Years in Elko Nevada, after which I set off across the country in search of what, I'm not exactly sure yet. Certainly part of the search is a job, but there is more to it than just trying to find a place to work.
I traveled first to Denver to see my uncle Tim and make sure that he is alive and able to put people up for the night. Lucky for me both counts were affirmative.
Next I went to my brother's place. There I dropped off our TV that was a mutual gift for our birthdays from about 3 years ago. He showed me his job and his basement, it seems that graduating gets you all the perks.
Next I traveled to Florida. Again the overarching theme was find a job but this time I spent with my friend from the Navy. He's currently going to school and I learned a valuable lesson there. Sometimes the ground is a much better place to sleep than an air mattress. Mine kept deflating so I got used to not inflating it so that I'd get to sleep without waking up to the coldness of the floor reminding me that bedding should never deflate.
After staying for a few weeks, my friend left for a deployment as he's still in the reserves. Kinda like the Elton John song says, "Still in the Navy and probably will be for life." So I moved on to my aunt's home where the beds are a lot more comfortable.
I've had little luck with the job hunt so far but then I'm still not used to Georgia or Florida and all the rest. I'm going to see more family this weekend and I'm pretty sure that they'll be glad to see me and let me know how their lives are going. In the meantime I'll try and stay busy, and out of people's hair.
By the way if you know anyone in Georgia that needs a logo or business card put me in touch with them. I ought to be able to help them out.
