First full weekend off that didn't include me taking vacation time or switching schedules. I love this new job. We picked Heather up on Thursday night, and I was useless Friday because we were up until 2am talking. (Speaking of useless -- not really, our team leader was out sick for three days, and I managed to help cover for him while doing ( Read more... )

Monday was so cool. I spent a day at work that didn't feel like work. I had stuff to do all day, and didn't notice the time pass. Then I was bitching because I didn't want to work at Pizza Hut on New Year's Eve -- so I walked in the door and they asked if I wanted to take the deposit to the bank and go home. I was home by 7, and we attempted to ( Read more... )

Dad reminded me to write a Christmas letter for the family. Since I don't talk about the mundane stuff nearly as much here, here it is.

Josh mentioned that, according to TV biographies, most brilliant, mulit-million dollar authors like Stephen King and Anne Rice spent the first years of marriage in dirt-poorness ( Read more... )

Went with Bexy to Knox Homecoming, of which this year is also my 5-year reunion. I didn't get a chance to register beforehand because I didn't know if I'd be able to get out of work, so I surprised a few people. I ran into a few old friends, introduced Josh, and got over the mild terror of seeing people that I've lost contact with for several ( Read more... )

Went in for my first day of training, and had no idea what to expect. I spent the first hour tailing the guy who installed the lights, and he completely expected me to know what he was talking about (in a good way). I was there with Glenn, who is technically the Master Tech for lighting and sound, but he's primarily an audio guy. I'm fast ( Read more... )

So, watching the new episode of Heroes, "Kindred." Haven't been following the series thus far, but something caught my eye ( Read more... )
