Some Blog

Gentlemen, start your engines

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

I’m getting back into the swing of blogging. I have a couple of points to make.

My first day of work is September 10. I left my last job on October 10 of last year. I have officially been unemployed for 11 months. In theses past months I would like to say that I’ve use my time wisely. I think we all know where this is heading. I don’t regret the lack of action and it’s not as if I didn’t do everything I’ve wanted to, as evidence by the amount of travel from this past year, it’s just that I know there will never be another time in my life where I will be unemployed and have nothing to do. There have been points where I was bored out of my mind, and Bruce bore the brunt of my frustrations. I think that we learned a whole lot about living together and being in a relationship. Surviving this year has been a thing. I’m so a different person and sometimes I miss who I was, but I’m learning to deal with who I am now.

So, the other thing is Akavar. The advertisement is hilarious. They say: “Eat all you want and still lose weight. Eat all you want and still lose weight. We couldn’t say this on TV if it wasn’t true.” Priceless.

Over due, Over kill

Soooooo. Yeah.

Okay, it’s officially time to shrug and say sorry. Now, I will be back to the regularly scheduled program.

The trip to Boston was fun. The event was a “Black, White, and Bling” party in honor of my brother-in-law turning 30. Things were as classy as one would expect, including but not limited to the girl who jumped out of a cake and lost her top. My grandmother took the boob rather well, after all, “it’s nothing she hasn’t seen before” but I don’t think she’s ever before had such a great view of $20,000 breasts. Some drinking occurred, I thought it would be grand to drink vodka, gin and champagne (in that order) and then pass out. Luckily I woke at 7 AM with a hangover the size of Mount Rushmore. I say luckily because that meant that I was almost recovered when I boarded the plane for London.

London was great as always. Lots of drinking with friends, a haircut, a few gifts (thank god for duty free), and a bunch of culture. Really, culture. It’s so boring if I tell you all about it, but I promise, I bettered myself the week I was there.

This past week has been spent getting my background check completed as I will be working in a healthcare setting again and it’s a mandatory part of the pre-employment process. Once that is done, a physical (they test for TB and meningitis) and then I get a start date. Hopefully the date is before the first of the next month so that the health insurance kicks in for October 1, other wise I have to wait till November.

The rest of the stuff, well, Bruce has been his usual Bruceness. Sometimes that is very annoying. Mostly he’s at work. The partnership question will be answered shortly but until then he’s billing 200 hours a month (which works out working 10 hour to 12 hour days).

I anticipate some changes in the next few months, hopefully these changes will produce some kick-ass blog fodder.

That is all.

Okay, I’m back. But I’m leaving for London for a week. So haha.

Well, let’s see, today I received a job offer. I maintained my cool, and was very casual in my acceptance. Who am I kidding, I almost humped the caller’s leg (I know there are technical difficulties with that, but I’m going for the visual).

Yay work. I like money. I like a reason to leave the house daily. And thankfully the workplace is always an endless font of blogging juicy goodness.

I hope no one thought that my blog was dead (Atizz I may have broken your streak as a blog killer).

Okay, bye.
