Kinda slow...
It basically sucks not having a vehicle here. I mean, Tyler goes to work, Mel does her thing and I'm kind of stuck because I'm somewhere in limbo right now. It'd be nice if I could get out and about in this town to check her out a little, but I can't right now. Ugh!
So I got the formalities over and done with at Trican via an interview with the frac manager, Dan, and he turns out to be a really nice guy. However, I'm still not on pay roll until all of the other formalities are over and done with. Like, for instance, hearing test, physical, drug test, class 1 medical and reclassification of my class 5 to class 1 which I can't do yet till they finally mail me my class 5 Alberta lisence. So I'm kind of stuck at the moment and am literally unemployed. I have a job starting at the end of the week but it's not this week, it's NEXT week. Ugh!
Sorry to sound a little down, but I was really hoping this would all mesh together a little simpler. I was really hoping to take off for Green Hand school this Sunday and get right to working. Green Hand school is Trican's orientation period. They'll ship me off to Red Deer for five days and run me and my classmates through Trican's history, regulations, H2S and all the other aspects that an entry level employee should know but will forget immediately.
So I have to wait a week. Kind of wish I were a little more mobile. Kind of wish I was with my family. What a suck I am, eh? Someone give me some sympathy, and, no, don't tell me where I can find it in the dictionary. This is an all ages blog!
