Music and memories
I've been listening to a radio station here in Columbus called The Brew. It plays a lot of music from around the time I was growing up. The strange thing about music is that it tends to stir memories up in me. Those memories typically revolve around the kinds of things I was doing back when I listened to the songs while growing up.

The decision has finally been made
After getting the job offer almost 2 weeks ago, I went in to work and told my boss about it. He asked me to put it off so he could see what he could do about my situation there.

It's about time...
For the past several months, the career services rep at my school has been sending my resume out to places and is continually shocked that I never receive any calls. Well, today I finally got one. There's a web hosting company looking for a System Administrator. I scheduled an interview for Friday. Good timing: I have a mock interview with the ( Read more... ) -
