Back in the Saddle
I lost my job on April Fool’s Day and now it appears that I am getting it back on Labor Day. Somebody has a sense of humor.
One week from today I will drive out to Phoenix for about a month and a half of training to be able to fly the friendly commercial airline skies again.
It is funny how bittersweet this all is. I am crazy super excited about having a steady paycheck again and the little things like people watching in airports and catching up on my reading are making me smile a bit. The trade-off for the paycheck is that I will be gone from home at least eighteen days per month. I rather got used to being at home 
There are so many things that I have come to love and appreciate and so many wonderful memories that have been made over the last year and a half, all because I was unemployed. I also hope that because of this experience I have become a better person and will stay that way, foregoing the negativity that naturally lingers in the air when anywhere near an airport or airline employees.
I know I can be better and not so grumpy at work (yet to be seen). At the very least I should have some stories to tell in the near future.
