Chilling
Today is a beautiful day outside. Nice breaze, sunny. Great. I feel good too.
Tomorrow I start work, and that's good. my mind keeps trying to think that perhaps staying on O.W, still might be better, but I can't be bothered messing around with the government. True you can get about $500.00 per month, and then work under the table. but I'm figuring I can make $2,000.00 at least per month. Ahh, forget that shit.
What I really think is important is enjoying your work. When I'm painting, I do enjoy my work. I'm comfortable, and know what I'm doing. if I'm with good people, that's a bonus. plus I can add to a pension. We will see what happens.
What I think is fair for my wage though is at least $20.00 an hour. It's expensive here in Toronto so I want that. I have to talk to Eric tomorrow about that before I start. I told him I would settle for $15.00 an hour when I first talked to him, but that was because I was thinking it would be a cash job. With this I have all the deductions for government stuff, so $20.00 is good.
Aside from that, everything seems alright. I'm going to my meetings again, and that's an important thing for me. It does keep me connected with recovery, and people. It is like my medicine, and I'm not likely to drink or use when I go to them.
I find that writing my journal here is also important to me. Helps me to put my thoughts in order, and it also keeps me connected to recovery.
So today I'm just here at the club farting around on the computer. I've also been messing around with my cell phone and learning about the devices on it. Got the voice mail alright now, and the other functions are there if I need them. All the new tech stuff can be frustrating to me because of all the years I've spent messed up. It was too hard for my mind to handle while using, so I just avoided it all together.
So, that's it for now. Going to just enjoy the day and relaxe. Thank you, lord.
