Well, first off, this is NOTHING like Facebook! I'm sure I'll get used to it, but for now, it's definitely a trial ( Read more... )

Very kind of you to introduce yourself. What is your name? Mine is Amy. I live just a mile from Laurel, in Michigan. I've never traveled to Portugal, although I was lucky enough to visit Europe - primarily Germany - back in 1980. What brings you to NYC so frequently?

Hi!! It's great to hear from you. So where are you living now? What are you up to? Life here is, well, stressful. They're laying off a bunch of people at work, and I don't know if I'm next. But enough about me. Tell me how you and your guy are doing lately!!! Thanks for connecting with me. :)

Re: Howdy! teebone51 December 16 2008, 21:36:52 UTC

I'm living in Redmond, Washington, which is a suburb of Seattle. It's a great area, everything seems happier and healthier this side of the Rockies (and Cascades, for that matter). I'm currently working (doing tech support) at a company that makes optics equipment, such as cameras that very accurately measure color and brightness. I don't really like my job, so I'm applying to go to graduate school next fall and maybe lead a more scholarly life (as everyone seems to think is a good idea). Gary has a job at a technical school. It's a more clerical than administrative role (which is what his Master's degree is in), but it is good for gaining experience to move up to those other roles. He's running unopposed to be the president of his union, which is not my cup of tea, but he's pretty excited about it. I think the job market here is not quite as tight, but we still can definitely feel the effects of the failing economy. We got ourselves a Wii for Christmas, which is pretty exciting ( ... )

Washington, eh? I'm currently obsessed with a book series that takes place in Forks, WA. So that's pretty cool that you're "nearby".

I hope grad school is the key to your happiness. Truly. What will you study?

I hope Gary gets the president spot. That's pretty cool. And he sounds like he's in a good position to move up the ladder eventually.

Thanks for the kind words. I find out tomorrow whether I still have a job. Fingers crossed, well wishes, prayers - whatever you want to do I'll appreciate.

Take care,
Amy
