Geesh...what do I do now? I had finally figured out how to beat my golf buddies on a pretty consistent basis and WHAM....I get a job! How am I supposed to keep up my swing consistency when I have to take 50 hours per week from my game? (That's a 40 hour week and 10 hours of driving.)
For those that may have not heard, I was hired by the folks at the Marine Base in Albany as a Human Resource Assistant beginning tomorrow, July 7. In all honesty, I'm quite excited at the prospect of getting back to work, but am not all that hyped about the amount of gas I'll have to burn to get there. I enjoy the drive (did it to Moody too), but that was when gas was "ONLY" $2.00 per gallon. Dang, I remember when I got my drivers licence in 1972, gas was honestly averaging about 40 cents per gallon (we paid more in California, but it was well under $1.00). Now, it will cost me an average of $120 per week to get back and forth to work. I think I'm going to have to start drilling for my own oil...which way to ANWR?
Still, having a job and a paycheck is worth it and I'm looking forward to getting back into the thrill of working (until they start ticking me off...lol)

Congrats Rich!!! We'll be almost like twins since we both have the same job title. However, I'll think of you every morning as I travel my 8.8 miles to work and back and when I only have to fill up about every 10 days :)! Seriously I'm soooo glad you gotta job. Who knew working could be something one really looked forward to unless you've been without for a long time, huh?
You'll have to check and see if we have anyone or anything to send to Albany. (Or if Jen has the huge bags of chocolate chips from Sam's to send to me).James can hook you up with good food deals. I realized the other day I don't mind driving as much as I used to, ironic now that we can't afford gas. Do you get a lunch hour in which you can hit a few balls?
