Mom won’t stop telling me to update when it goes more than a few weeks without me doing it. I always tell her that I will update my site as soon as she updates her’s. She always cheats by not having one. So whatever. I always mean to update, but I’m never in the writing mood.
Most important and notable things first.
Joe is engaged. He asked Kristen to marry him a few days after my last update, and aside from our immediate family and Kristens, they told everyone on Christmas. They are already in the midst of planning a wedding as they have already set a date of October 20th. He asked me just yesterday, officially, to be the best man, while he was in the middle of eating 50 Chicken McNuggets from McDonald’s. So if anyone has some killer ideas for a bachelor party, let me know.
So with that, Mike, Doug, and I are most likely (at least at this point) going to be moving out in October, when Joe moves out. Unless we can find a new roommate, that is. Which means that unless Brownie wants to move in, we probably aren’t going to find one, because frankly I don’t know that I’d want someone I don’t quite know as a roommate. So if anyone has some killer ideas for a place to live starting in October, let me know.
Work was slow during December, but has been very busy in the past couple of weeks. UDF came last Monday, and I had to have it done by Friday. I kicked its ass. So far, no problems have come about. I re-did a few of the parts of it Brian-style and it’s working out a bit easier for me and some of the other people. It’s also apparently still up in the air as to whether or not I’m going to get to ditch part of the process, which is good, because it sucks and detracts from me doing other work that needs done.
As far as work in general… I’m loving it still. I like the work, I like the people, I mostly like the attitude around here. I think I’ve found my niche. The people I work with are fun to hang out with, too. I bought everyone in my room a Nerf gun for Christmas and it was cool. A couple people broke the one rule I set of “not taking it home.” Those people will be shown no mercy should a full-out Nerf war erupt. Most Friday nights we go to a bar in Delhi and and forget about all the stupid things that happened that week… or totally rant about them. I took my camera a couple times and made some galleries, but was told I’ve been banned from taking pictures there anymore because people have a knack for embarrassing themselves while drinking. DUH.
Christmas came and went really fast. Most everyone agrees that it was probably because most of December was 50 degrees and sunny. It wasn’t until a couple weeks ago that it really got cold. We had our first snow since being on Drake avenue yesterday. Well, at least it was our first snow that wasn’t gone in an hour. I finally got to use the snow shovel I bought when we first moved in. I bought it anticipating not being able to find a decent one the second there were reports of a big snow coming, and in the end I could have waited a year. I shovelled most of the driveway, while the neighbor lady’s man-friend shovelled around her side of the back area and a little of inbetween the houses. That’s a lot to shovel! Thankfully, it wasn’t a very heavy snow.
So uhh… yeah. That’s all I got for now. Gotta get to work. Peace out.
See ya.
