I've been pretty busy here with the new job and all, so I'm quite behind in everything (We'll log this one as excuse #44768 ;)) It's still going well, just keeping me pretty busy. Since I'm still in training, I try to get out with anyone that has a job to do, so a lot of the time I'll walk into the shop from one job and get snagged for another job ( Read more... )

I have a desk (well, a workbench), they have ordered me new uniforms as they wear white shirts, they have a place for me on their sign-out board and a mailbox!

There hasn't been a whole lot to write about these days. The usual work stuff, the usual job-hunting stuff, the usual home stuff. I seem to be stuck in a bit of a rut here ( Read more... )

A few random notes ( Read more... )

We spent pretty much the majority of today cleaning up the house. Hey, we're getting better! We used to do "spring cleaning" somewhere around Christmas and now we're at least within a few months of spring ( Read more... )

You are an SECL--Sober Emotional Constructive Leader. This makes you a politician. You cut deals, you change minds, you make things happen.
