As some ask how things go at the job, it goes. Very well, in fact. When asked if I am happy, I cannot complain at all. The people treat me well here. My opinion is respected. Abilities and knowledge are recognized. Jim is a great guy to work with and learn from. It’s a major education just coming in every morning, but getting paid for it. Anymore, I can’t walk in the front door and make it into my office without being stopped by at least one person with some sort of technical issue. Oddly enough, it kind of makes me happy when that happens. And just the other day, I rearranged my office. It’s becoming more of my domain rather than just a place for me to put my laptop and be surrounded by the remote equipment.
I got my iPod Mini Dock the other day. Talk about a huge tease. Just how people start to tell you something, then say, “Oh, wait, I should just stop there.” You know how that just bugs you? Especially when it is something that is probably huge and juicy, yet you have to refrain from wanting to know more out of your dire sense of respect. That’s how I feel right now. My minidisc is skipping these days like no other. It drives me completely up the wall. It knows that its days are numbered, making me feel remorse over my decision on my latest purchase. “How dare you! Haven’t I treated you well over these past four years?!” We’ve been through a lot, and saw the Kanto Plain together. It will be hard to see it go. Maybe I should say nice things to it instead of grumbling at it from now on.
Prior to any excursion down south, I’m looking to make a hop over to Chicago-land. It looks like a good weekend to do it coming up. Not too sure of what to do while I’m there… Besides celebrate my niece Julia’s birthday, of course! March is a busy birthday month. Two before my trip to Illinois, and another shortly there after, in April. Busy.
Muffin, you know I was kidding. Get well.
