October 2nd is my first anniversary as a professional welder

[Chill Phil]

The older I get, the faster time goes by, it seems.

Anyways...

Like the thread title says! Made it through my first year production welding, and a major purge of personnel that weren't up to standard. It shook me and reinforced me all at once.

But yo...my life straight up 180'd ever since I threw out 90% of my belongings and drove cross-country. I'm feeling good about life in general, which hasn't been a thing.

Also, I recorded an interview that got edited pretty good.
