Well, a couple of months ago I was looking into a barn near here to board that was on a bus route. After doing some research and riding the route I discovered it just wasn't something I could live with. A long bus route was met with a deadly highway crossing, so it was a no-go. It just wouldn't have been practical or safe for me to go the distance no matter how much I wanted my horse back. Not to mention the new job I took that promised so much didnt pan out. instead of being full time or close I was getting 10 hours every second week and a few phone calls on between to cover shifts on occasion for other people. In all over 3 minths I have worked about 50 hours for them, yet I put in over 30 hours of my own unpaid time for training (which i cancleed shifts at my other job to do).
So this week I applied at a call center that opened up right next door ( I walk out my door and in 5 minuites I am there, I can see it from my building!) and I'm already working and getting paid. I am on the shift for close to full time hours already. (30+ a week) So I've decided to start barn shopping again, and found a place that should be a shorter bus ride, with about a 10 minuite walk at the other end and the bus picking and dropping me up almost at my door. So tomorrow I'm going out to talk to the owner and make sure the travel is OK before I get my hopes up. But all things considered, I really could have my horse back in 4-6 weeks!
