Things are going pretty good at the mo... work is good... things with the boy are good... still haven't looked for welding gigs but I think I'm gonna get on that after I've made this post. I'm doing that moving thing (again) on either Saturday or Sunday... joy.
I've a lil bit of a dilemma right now because the bossman wants me to work on Saturday. I really need the monies but there's this memorial a few hours outta town that I wanted to go to. I don't really have to go and I don't think I'd beat myself up if I weren't there but I dunno. It's for my pseudo Grampa. He died a while back and they're just having a memorial for him now. The pseudo part of things comes from the fact that he isn't really my Grampa but growing up for the first few years he was the closest I had. My folks immigrated here before I was born and the parents of one of their friends sorta adopted them. So growing up a few times a year we'd go do these big family get together things with them and all their extended family and it was really cool for me because I never knew a family outside of my immediate one (the rest are back in England save a couple in New York). Sadly after a few years of this my dad decided we should stop seeing them because it was disrespectful of our real Grandparents who were still alive at the time. I was pretty upset about it and couldn't understand why because I longed for the big family thing every now n then... but I do understand to a degree now why my father would feel that way... regardless or whether or not I agree with his decision.
My dilemma comes down to going to this thing where there'll be a bunch of people I don't know (who'll probably look at me like I'm a three headed mutant with all my mods) to pay respect to someone I haven't seen in years but at one point was important to me... or making some money I could really use especially with the whole moving thing and San Fran coming up on my quicker then I'd like because I'm relatively skint.
I gotta decide by tomorrow I figure. I did ask for the day off yesterday but the bossman is a boy and they can be a lil absent minded at times...
So how's everyone else's week?
