The H stands for Hurry and get the Heck outta Here
I've decided that Houston isn't a place I want to be for too long. This city just isn't appealing to me. I talked to my dad and I'm close to deciding on moving back to Amarillo and working as an engineer. Not now.. but within 2 years. I can handle Houston for that long anyway. One real benefit is that I will be making TWICE the money as being a Meteorologist. Kind of ticks me off in a way. Meteorology is tough.. not quite as tough as engineering.. but it focuses on many similar classes. So why do we get the hammer? Not very fair if you ask me...
I don't think I'll be working in Amarillo all that long either though. I figure 2 years in Houston... 2 years in Amarillo... and then I'll find a nice job in the midwest. Unless unseen circumstances sneak up, i.e. marriage/sickness/etc... 2 years working as an engineer with be enough to pay off my 20K worth of student loans and then I can do whatever I want. The funny thing is I don't really know what I want to do still. I'll always enjoy weather, but I don't enjoy it enough so that I wouldn't switch careers in the future.
I made a conclusion this week... I always said I wouldn't worry about money in finding work.. but you know, there isn't a job out there that I'd be happy enough to take a large pay cut to do it. So, I've decided that I WILL take a job to get more money, if it is a substantial raise... at least temporarily... I mean I can work for ~30-35K a year or ~60-65K for a few years. What would you choose? Exactly my point! As long as I'm not miserable.. you really just have to weigh the pros and cons of these things.
In other news.. the Groundhog saw his shadow today, which equals 6 weeks more of winter. Considering we haven't had ANY winter this year, with the exception of one December week, I'll take it. I tend agree sort of... that we will have a chilly late Feb-early March, but not chilly like you might think. Just below averages for SE Texas.
February is officially "Spend as little as possible" month. I suppose that means no V-Day date. Not that I'd have one anyway. I want to take a trip to Europe in the late summer... so I'm gonna put back a couple G's.. this means I probably will have to put flight school (the air portion) on hold. Which doesn't really bother me that much for now.
Well.. anyway.. I don't have any mind bending thoughts today. Maybe at 5 AM I'll have some kind of breakthrough... like if Global Warming will kill us in 50 years.
