On the road again

Okay everyone, so I left you off last time with The beginning of my journey and want to keep things going; have about 2.5 years left of material!

Anyways, my family moved up to Wyoming in late December 2012, I had a good job (most money I'd ever made) and started to climb out of debt. Remember, I was "sunk" with no way of getting out. When I finally started getting paychecks I was able to make payments toward my debt, getting balances lowered to reasonable amounts. Then another speed bump...

After finally thinking there was light at the end of the tunnel, I showed up to work one day and the manager called me into his office. We sat down and he said that "corporate felt there was no need for my services further". Wow, talk about a bombshell going off. I was devastated. Wasn't sure what I was going to do. I didn't move up there to live forever, but to get my self in a good spot.

Luckily, I had a couple applications still out from applying when I moved up there. Roughly 3 hours later another oil services company called offering me a job. Better pay, with overtime, and more hours if I chose. I wouldn't be doing safety but I would be getting more experience in the oil field and getting overtime which would be nice. I called back soon after and accepted the job. He gave me an orientation date for a couple days later. Once again I was on the road again!
