I had a nice labor day weekend. It was the first Husker game, so after work on Friday, I went to the famed Sidetrack Tavern with my coworker Steve. It was nuts...and the attorney general was there, so that was really weird ( Read more... )

Last weekend was my birthday. I should be in bed now, but I wanted to recaps the higlights ( Read more... )

It's Monday. So there's that ( Read more... )

So, oddly enough, a little more than 6 months ago, I got my dream job. And then I disappeared from livejournal. ...after 5 years of semi-regular updating. I think it's really strange that I just stopped ( Read more... )

Things have been really weird for the last 6 months. Maybe longer. Or maybe things have been normal and I've been weird. I still figuring it out.

But I've missed you, my livejournal friends. For reals.

I got a job. Finally. I am elated - both excited and relieved. I'll be starting at the Department of Environmental Quality on the 19th, working as an actual attorney.

Wow.  I'm still recovering from Halloween.  I guess one of the "benefits" of being unemployed is that you get to do that.  It's really not so much fun as you might think, though.

I posted a bunch of photos on flikr of the goings-on, and if you want to check them out, here's a link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lydiafiedler/

I have a lot of contract ( Read more... )
