What? A day off? Cole doesn't get those! Well, my friends, turns out you are wrong. I do indeed get days off, and I am using this one productively! I have, in fact, cleaned up and put away stuff in the kitchen of our new apartment, done some organizing or stuff that can't go anywhere until we have shelving, started the process of settling a key ( Read more... )

I just had the worst 3 days of work I could possibly imagine, culminating today with the incredible amounts of neck pain I am in, and have been in all day. It's been bad enough that I almost threw up from the pain. Having to work through that pain knowing that when you get home you have less than twelve hours before you have to back the next day ( Read more... )

Also, in the face of that slow wearing down, my boundless optimism slipped a bit, and had about 24 hours of self-loathing regarding my abilities as a student ( Read more... )

I had a wonderful weekend in Southern Oregon. Meeting family, eating good food, and generally enjoying the company I was in!

Well, hello there folks. It's been awhile. There isn't a whole lot new in life for me. I got a promotion in the process of switching stores. I went camping at the end of august. I bought a new laptop. And I am going to have two great weekends in a row with the girl. Overall life is good, but unspectacular. Thus the lack of posting.
