Things are starting to heat up for me.  Work is really starting to pick up, and my CPA is coming up on the 6th.  The dreaded Financial Accounting and Reporting section.  Seriously, I spend all my free time either studying for this test, or feeling guilty about not studying for this test.  >_<

Thanksgiving went off without a hitch.  No major ( Read more... )

My work week ended with a slap in the face from Ronald McDonald.  At Burger King, they give you a vegetarian burger like you would normally think.  I ordered a veggie burger for five dollars, and got lettuce / tomatoes / a bun.  I tried to return it, but I already handled it.  *Sigh.*

So, the week before last both Mat and Greg had their birthdays.  As a result, last weekend we partied.  ^_^

Greg's was held at a nice little jazz club in the Village, during daytime hours so we had the entire place to ourselves.  Provided for us were games ranging from chess to pool to ping pong to Monopoly.  One of Greg's friends introduced me to ( Read more... )

Last week was a series of all-you-can-drink events hosted by the Company, which is a hard position because you want to get as drunk as you can while still being able to behave yourself in front of your colleagues and supervisors.  >_<

The second event, was a costume party for Halloween.  I joined the Community Action Team, which organizes ( Read more... )

So, it's been a long while since I updated.  I've been wicked busy with the new job and even two months in I'm still getting settled into the city.  Little things, like mapping all the good Halal carts in the area, take time.

Notable events since my last update include:

Glenn's birthday dinner.  Gay bar in the village.  Oh man.  I'm not even ( Read more... )

To kick off this weekend, I visited Bryan Steinhauer in the hospital.  Talk about awful, this poor kid got into a bar fight in Binghamton back in May and was beaten into a coma.  He's undergoing an intense regimen of physical therapy and hasdifficulty speaking.  As unfortunate as that is, he is also very lucky.  He hasn't suffered brain damage, and ( Read more... )

Tara came over to make cookies.  I made them too big and I set the temperature too high.  Instead of having a tray of cookies, I ended up with three trays of cookie.

. . . and I thought I knew how to cook.  >_<

This weekend was marked by the return of Ashleigh Teitel.  Ashleigh is still in the Navy, studying at Nuclear Power School.  She gets to play with missles, torpeodes, classified information, and nuclear materials.  I get to play with debits and credits.  Times like this, I wonder if I chose the right job . . .

To cap the weekend off, I went to the ( Read more... )

So, this weekend I stopped by Josh's place.  It's nice to see Josh is in a happier place, living with old friends from high school.  In fact, I'm a little jealous that he's able to keep up his slacker lifestyle.  >_<  Ended the night with Samantha and Qi.  I agreed to sell my old computer to Qi.  What does an AMD XP 3000+, 1 GB box sell for ( Read more... )

So, I finally started my job with RSM.  Thank God.  I was starting to go sooo stir crazy.  My energies are finally properly divded.  The only problem is sleeping hours, but that'll come with time.  This entire week has been lectures, leadership presentations, and getting to know the company.

This weekend kicked off with a wine tasting.  My room ( Read more... )
