07/28/2008: "sailing is tricky business"

This past weekend I went sailing! My friend has a little catamaran and we took it out to the lake for his first run. Oh, such trouble we had getting the mast up though! After multiple tries, and things not locking into place, we finally managed to get the mast up and from there on it was, well, smooth sailing We might be going to the beach with it this weekend, unless I have to work.

Speaking of work, I landed a job as an Embroidery Specialist at Educational Outfitters. They do all the embroidering on uniforms for schools, sports, etc. I start training tomorrow, but since I missed today for training, she wants me to work Saturday, but we planned to go to the beach! I think this job is a bit more important though, so we can postpone until next weekend. This job pays well, and I hope I can train hard and stick with it - it's a lot to learn. It actually pays more than what I make now, which is strange because I make a lot now as it is! The unfortunate thing about this job is that I have to reschedule flying home, because they had to have me for the two weeks I had already planned and PAID for my flight home So I had to shell out $180 to reschedule a flight later in August, and I had to make it a shorter trip too. It was either pay the fees to reschedule or not go home, and loose $400 because the flight was non refundable, boo. But all that aside, I guess I'm fairly happy. Well... except for the fact that I accidentally scheduled my flight for like... the day Andrew finally gets home from Taiwan. Oh well, it'll be two months without him, so what's one more week? Whatever.
