Last week my father and I got layed off, being that work was apparently thinning out and our boss wasn't making enough money. It was quite a shock being that we've been so busy, but I suppose that's the way things go and I'm getting over it. So, I have officially worked for this little electrical company from April 11th, 2005 to April 9th, 2010. Five years! Holy shit. Anyways, I've applied for EI and am going to wait it out and see what type of work my dad might land and maybe I can apprentice for him. Being an apprentice and searching for a job alone is a lot more difficult than being a fully trained journey man.

Meanwhile this should be considered an opportunity for myself to do things that I haven't been able to do for myself. Such as work out to an insane degree of absolute overkill and restore my car to its former glory. Plus all these months I haven't gotten my shit in gear and got my schooling done, I should either consider retaking my course or wait it out for my test to come out again after its done going through review. Blah.

Recently, I read an article about purging half of the things you own and am planning to do something along those lines just to give myself some sort of mental clarity. Everyone has shit they don't use, but keep it because it holds some form of monetary value. Things are just things, they are not people or memories.
