The weekend (:

Obviously I'm a little late posting but I figured I would catch you up on the weekend. Give you a little recap (:

Okay, so Saturday we all got up early and we went to breakfast at the Deepwater Diner, where the stupid waitress forgot my bacon! Then we headed to the Cowtown flea market.. I think cow I such a derogatory word. I vote that they should be called Moo Moos... All in favor say "I"; "I"! Ahaha totally kidding, but not really. I hate the word cow. Anyways, it was me, my dad, Allen, Howard, and Joe who went. That flea market was hugeeee and it was relatively hit outside so it wasn't too enjoyable.. But I did see a lot of things I liked. After that we went over the bridge into Delaware and went to an outside flea market, where I found the coolest vintage jewelry box for five dollars. I got it obviously (: That's about all we did Saturday.


Sunday? Got up early again and we went to a pretty cool car show. It took us an hour and some odd minutes to drive up there.. But it had some pretty neat cars, and some not so cool. I'm pretty big into cars but not that much. They didn't have too many that I haven't already seen, so only a few caught my eye. I'll post a few pictures after the blog to show you some. But after that we came back to the hotel and just hung around the rest of the day. I know, boring right? But its Sunday, the day of rest.. What else did you expect? Aha.

Monday: Labor Day. This was definitely the longest day ever. We sat at the hotel all day long. Didn't go anywhere or do anything fun. So no need to elaborate on that honestly.

I know this is all still pretty boring, but that's because my actual job hasn't started just yet. That's when it'll get good. PLUS, I'm heading to Atlantic City next Saturday, that's when all the really good stuff will happen.

Hope everyone keeps following, and keeps reading my blog (:

Friday August 31st, last day of the week (:

THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! Right guys? (:

So we are finally done with all of the orientation and testing, and they don't have anything for us to do right now because we have to wait on the rest of the workers to show up on Tuesday..

I LITERALLY got paid to sit in the break room all day! I talked to all the people I worked with, played games, tweeted, texted, and worked on puzzles from the newspaper lol. I made $213 dollars just sitting there! How can it get better than this?

Just kidding, this is only because the actual job hasn't started just yet. It's not starting until the 10th of September so I'm going to be getting paid to do nothing alllll week long!


MONEY MONEY MONEYYYY (;
That's all I did, I'll talk to you tomorrowwwwww <3 Lots of love

Thursday August 30th! (:

Thursday Thursday Thursday. Let's see here, we were still in orientation. We had a new trainer and we learned for 8 hour and took a lot of tests. The room they make you sit in is so cold, but so comfortable at the same time. Needless to say, I was dozing off haha. And after I would jerk beck into consciousness, I look up and the four guy across from were all heads down, mouths open. That has to be the funniest thing I've seen here, and I really wish I could have taken a picture!


I've made a couple of friends here so far, all men, seeing as I'm the only female that got hired on this job. I don't know if I should be happy about that or not honestly. They are all so friendly, teach me everything I need to know, and they definitely look out for me. I don't really like being the only female, but I LOVE not having any kind of drama. I just get along so much better than guys.

Back at the hotel: there are bums, prostitutes and drug deals.. I can't handle it. We are getting out of here as soon as possible.

That's about all for Thursday (; I'll keep you updated

Day 3; Nothing special

Hey yallll! So it's day three, and things are still going relatively well. I'm still stuck in orientation and its superrrr boring.

Something I learned today: I work at Fluor, Chambers Works on a DuPont site. And we make 17 of the 24 MOST DEADLY chemicals in the world! How crazy is that?? At any moment, something could happen and I would die.. Kind of hard to think about, but I put it at the back of my mind.

But that's really all for today, just a tiny update. I hope things start getting more exciting, this orientation is killing me!

Bye y'all! (:

Day 2; more orientation.

As you can tell by the title, day 2 in Jersey doesn't get too much more exciting. This Fluor orientation lasts for 5 days, so it may be a little boring.

All we did today was sit in a conference room and listen to Daryl Young read out power point presentations, and then take tests after every single one. Safe to say, that was THE longest 8 hours, but that's okay because I got paid good money to sit there and do nothing. The tests are pretty easy as long as you pay attention, and most if the stuff is just common sense. I have a feeling that this job is going to be alright (:

I received my PPE today, which is Personal Protection Equipment. What that is, is two different pairs of safety goggles, two pairs of gloves, a nomad coverall suit, and my hard hat. I was actually excited about all of this. I feel more and more like part of the crew after receiving all of my stuff! I am so lame because this is stuff that makes me happy here..

But anywho, am I boring you? I really hope not! Not too much more, just bare with me people!

The work day today went by really slow, but it was a very easy day and I got paid, so I can't complain too much, right? Once u fit back to the hotel, I ate a small meal with my dad, and I fell right to sleep.. Zzz

Once I woke up around 8, I called my mom and brother, had a small chat with both of them, and now here we are (: Not too shabby to be my first few days, what do you think?! I hope my blog isn't too boring right now, it will get better I PROMISE! I have to work at 5:30 in the morning... I should probably attempt to sleep now.

Goodnight to you all..
If anyone is even reading; which I hope that you are <3

Day 1; work at Fluor; August 26, 2012

Still a day behind, but I'm blogging about my time here, so hush yourself. No complaints (:

Today was my very first day of work, I obviously very nervous and didn't know what would happen. I had a lot in my mind between having a hotel to stay at, to the mandatory drug test, to how I am going to eat all week. Here's a run-down of what I went through.

This first day is all about orientation. You're taking tests, getting drug tested and filling out numerous amounts of paper work, boring right? Trust me, I know; I almost fell asleep.. Twice!

I was honestly most worried about the drug test, lately I've done a few things I'm not proud of but I also won't mention. Needless to say, I was scared I would fails we were running late that morning so if course I used the bathroom at the hotel thinking I would have time to build back up, that wasn't the case. I had to pee in a cup pretty much as soon as I got there. I couldn't go really, but I tried my hardest. The test came up positive for multiple things so they sent for further testing... I WAS DYING FROM ANTICIPATION! Come to find out, that was because there wasn't enough urine in the cup. Long story short, I oerd in a cup TWICE in one day, and I did pass, so the job is mine!!

After that we continue to do out paper work and orientation. Normal things, all the information sheets; how you want to receive your money.. I had to get a Walmart money card to do direct deposit because I forgot to take a blank voided check, but that's okay. I don't care how it works, as long as IM the one receiving the money I worked for!

After the drug test debacle, everyone was issued their safety books, and badges. I feel so important knowing that's how I clock in and out everyday. It has a picture of me in it and it's just exciting to me, I'm not sure why. The first day at work went fairly well, and I'm pleased with myself. Once I got back to the hotel, things changed a little. I had time to sit down and start thinking. Of course, the first thing on my mind is home. I miss everyone there so much, and I hope it gets easier being away, even if it's just a little bit. I can't wait to come home to my friends and family. <3

I had planned to post a picture of my badge, but I deleted it, sorry guys!

ANYWAYS! Continue to read my blog everyday to see how things are going, and I hope you enjoy it. (:

New Jersey; The Garden State Aug. 25. 2012

I'm a few days late but starting now in going to do a day by day of my time spent in New Jersey.

Let me start by saying, I am here to work for a construction company called Fluor. My dad got me on and I am very thankful.

Okay, here we go. The drive was pretty long and boring, and I slept through most of the good sights and I didn't really have a chance to get pictures. I'm here until September 30, or at least that's how king the job lasts... No telling when I'll go home.

It's a nice change here, no one knows me, though when they look at me I know that they are judging me because of the way I talk, look and especially my tattoos and piercings. I have that they will make assumptions because of how I look and not because of who I am as a person. But things like that never change, so I'll have to get used to it.

Alright, so I'm staying in this small tiny dink hotel in DeepWater, New Jersey. It's just across the Delaware Memorial Bridge. It's pretty plain and there's nothing to do here outside of work. We have all if 23 television channels, and NO WIFI, which I hate.


This is pretty much just my short introduction about the ride up and that first night here. The photos are of the New Jersey sign obviously, and of the Delaware Memorial Bridge (:
