What a crazy couple of weeks its been!

Between a new quarter of school, a continued work load, the snow, and finding out I'm having a boy, I'm getting a little overwhelmed.

But, I press forward, comforted by the fact that others have endured much more than I, thus, my life is not insurmountable.

Hello and Welcome, to Tales of the New Guy!

I say this, because I have found myself to be the "new guy" quite a lot in my working life.  I just turned 27, so I've been working for about 10 years.

I have done a myriad of things, mostly related to the home construction industry.  Framing, Concrete, "clean up guy", plumbing, HVAC installer and fabricator; I've been through a few houses.  More recently I've been into the health care field, becoming a Nursing Assistant - Certified.  Its the first time I've been "certified" anything, so it makes me a little proud.

I also spent a year making wooden model sailboats.  Thats right.  We made them from 12" to nearly 5 feet long.  Some remote control, some just on a string.  Theres nothing as rewarding, for me, than working with my hands.

A 50" hull that I made out of strips of Wester Red Cedar

Which brings us back to health care, or Nursing in particular.  Im really excited to be getting into a "hand-on" field, where Im working with people and helping them feel better.

So, I'm The New Guy again, and learning so much.  It should be fun.
