Six weeks since moving to Houston, that is.  So far, I've gotten settled down both in the apartment and at work, and am quite happy now.  Hadn't quite gotten the furniture I've planned to get, but that'll be in time, just like getting a car by the beginning of May.  Just keep to the budget and things'll be fine.

Also I need to upgrade my computer, ( Read more... )

So here it is, 8:30am in the morning.  Houston has been thoroughly glazed by Mother Nature, a nice thin sheet of ice coating everything.  And what does the workplace bosses say?  Show up for work, what else?  Not that anyone CAN show up, most of the freeways are closed and anything else that has overpasses or bridges are glazed up as well.  ( Read more... )

Ok, let's go back a few weeks.  I flew out from New Orleans to Houston on Southwest flight 604, just a puddle jumper flight.  For some odd reason the plane wasn't even half full, so I went all the way to the back of the plane and took over essentially a whole row of seats.  In my pack, I had a few rubber snakes that I had on my monitors at the old ( Read more... )

Well, I've survived the first full week at the workplace.  Slowly getting into the swing of things there, it's definitely a lot more laid back in attitude there.  I've put up some of my comic strips I love with appropriate giggles from the co-workers, and a few other things to make it actually look like someone lives there.  A far, far different ( Read more... )

Yes, I have my apartment now!  And my cable/internet!  And my personal stuff!  And my telescope!  And my computer!  And my books!  And my bicycle!

I lost a few of the book cases, but they were pressed board and paper, it was to be expected.  Ah well, I can get new bookshelves if I need them.

Whee!!  Now I feel like I've got a home again!

Let's see... when last we left our intrepid shapeshifter, he had relocated into the Houston area and was looking forward to getting his apartment.  Unfortunately, the gods decided to have a joke at his expense, and thus has been stuck in a hotel room for a longer time than expected.  However, tomorrow I have my goods delivered along with AT&T  ( Read more... )

Well, I'm still stuck in a hotel room until my personal belongings decide to show up.  I have the apartment secured and all, but until my things get here I don't relish sleeping on an air mattress, much less the floor.  So I'll stick with a hotel room until they arrive ( Read more... )

... to mshollie and New Orleans we go.  In four hours, I'll be on the road heading towards her and a few days of rest and relaxation away from any thought of work... then it's Houston and the start of a new place, and a new job.

Excited?  A little... tried not to show it at work, as I didn't want to rub some of the folks there the wrong way.  Couldn't do ( Read more... )

... the movers have come and gone, there's an empty room where I used to reside.  I'm using another room in the house temporarily until Saturday, when I leave Fort Walton Beach for good and head towards Houston via New Orleans.

I figure the reality will strike about Tuesday.

Whee!
