Some training

Image
By
Tomorrow, as a requirement for continued employment, I will be going to CPR and First Aid training. I'll be out during business hours. My wife is already certified from her work back in the RGV, so she will stay home with the boy. I am also studying the manual to get a CDL for bus driving. Once I acquire the license, I will get reimbursed for the cost. In addition, it means more hours for me and a pay raise. There is a good chance that I could start training for an associate's in child development (CDA). I don't want to press the issue on the CDA because it requires a 3 year commitment to the program. I hope it slips through the cracks. I don't really look forward to coming up north again. It's nice and all, but I'd rather come on vacation than to work.
 
Besides, with the recent heartache from separating from my daughter, I have a renewed sense of urgency to finish my degree and move on with life. I don't expect to get a job in my field of study, Finance. Whether it be a banker, stock broker, or financial advisor, they're all sales jobs. They have very little to do with finance. If you go to any of these for advice, watch out. Commissions are their motivation, not your best interest. In any case, I am renewing my focus on getting out of UTPA.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

By
It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

By
Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
