Another day another Dollar…. or maybe $400… LOL

New job is working out well.  I love it.  Training, and challenges and work, and better drive, and just lots of good stuff so far.  Keep in mind its only been like two weeks so far, so I’m sure I’ll find something to grip about eventually but hopfully not.

Today is Nick’s B-day so I gotta give him a quick shout out.  “HEY NICK!”.

Jess is graduating Friday.  She is dying to know what I got her for a graduation gift.  I think she is going to love it.  If you want to know, send me a note and I’ll tell you as long as you promise not to tell her.

Gotta jet, work calls.

I’m suppose to write about life

So lets see if I can write a quick update about life.

1. My dog just cost me $300 bucks because he got a stick stuck in his mouth and had to be sedated in order to have it removed.
2. I went to Myrtle Beach last weekend and had a great time. We are going back next year, probably gonna end up buying a time share there if shadow doesn’t eat up all my money by then.
3. Heading to Nicks this weekend for some Best Man time and to pick out tuxes. YAY! Tuxs
4. Melissa is now dating a new guy. But he kinda looks like nick… but shhhhhhh
5. I Love my Wifey
6. I might be changing jobs soon or maybe doing some part time consulting on a more frequent basis.
7. Semi – Pro the movie sucked.
8. Check this out to see a guy beat Mario 1 (The original) in 5 minutes (World Record).  http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ie4E3Bmqb5w  Please don’t bitch about it until you read the information he included with the video as why some things worked.

Thats all

Its a Miracle

WOW.. I cannot believe my eyes… I actually just experienced my first meeting at work in which something actually got done that was productive.  I mean don’t get me wrong, we have meetings all the time, but I never walk out of there feeling like something productive got done.  This time I did .

Nothing really new happening.  My foot has been hurting me recently and that has kinda sucked, cause its hard to drive and walk when your right foot is hurting.  Not sure why it is hurting, but I figure if it still hurts in like a week, I’ll make an appointment to see a doctor.

Another miracle happened last night.  Shadow was 100% calm.  What made him so calm…. No MOM it wasn’t Valium…. It was exercise… Cherokee (Jess’s Parents Dog) came over and played for like a couple of hours.  Its hard to believe that all this time, maybe all he needed was some hella hella exercise…  The down side of Cherokee coming over is it really really really hurt his beg leg, to where he could bearly walk anyways… So maybe he wasn’t tired, but just really unable to move much because of his back leg… I don’t know.

Jess started school this week.  You’d have to ask her how it is going cause I can’t speak for her.

Not much is going on this weekend.  I believe Jess is heading out with Dana for some wedding expo stuff on sunday which leaves me with the day by myself.  Not sure if AJ is gonna want to game the entire day but he might.  Anyone that wants to hang out feel free to let me know now so I can plan.

So I ran through the taxes via Turbo Tax on the internet today.  Should be getting something back, but we’ll just have to wait and see when the final W-2’s hit the mailbox.  I did some estimates off of my last pay stubs.   I’m thinking that the day I get my last W-2 (Just waiting for my current employer to get there shit together) that I’m gonna head over to HR Block and see if they can help find me all these deductions I keep hearing about on the internet.  Who knows, maybe I’ll get some more…..  I wonder if they do something that if you don’t like the refund or got a bigger one some place else they will give you the different or something… If anyone knows or has comments about HR Block, please post comments.

Well I guess thats all for now.  Lunch break is over, and its back to work.  I have to say that this week has been the first week in which I have actually kept busy at work…  Next week will suck cause I’ll be in DC on wednesday… Man I hate dc… and the metro, and everything.

Um Vultures… No Joke

Check out the newest pictures in my Photo Album called “My Photos”. There were 3 of them total. Man I never would have believed I would see 3 vultures in the middle of freaking mclean, VA 13 stories up..

Maybe I should go see a doctor or something.

New Job – Training

Training at the new job right now. Its alright, I’m learning a lot of basic stuff. The fun training on the enviornment and infrastructure doesn’t start until tomorrow so these first two days are just chill days.

I’ll try to write sometime tomorrow if I can.

51 Hours at Work

So this weekends total time put in was 51 hours.  It wouldh ave been sooner but by an act of God we had 9 system boards fail on our HP G3 series so we had to replace them all… Gotta love it when things don’t go according to plan.

So shadow is a little over 30lbls now.  YAY! shadow… I guess I gotta give him so more weight in the simpsons pictures.

Jess is being Jess.  She cleaned the house this weekend while I was away so Kudos goes to her about that.

New job starts on the 27th.  I think we are gonna hit the Bay Cottage the 23rd to see Jess’s grandparents and give shadow some swimming lessons and then back on the 24th or 25th for some time of reflection.  I always like to reflect before starting a new chapter in life and this classifies as a new chapter with the wedding and the new job, and my rents heading off to england.  It should be fun… YAY!

Gotta jet… gotta get out those TPS reports…

New Job

So I scored a new job.  Rounding around 20k more then I’m making now.  YAY!.  Start date is August 27th.  Its in Mclean so it means a further drive, but it should hopfully be a good match as long as i can make it pass the 90 “hightened performance watch” as it says in the offer letter.

Gotta jet, lots of stuff to pretend to have to do… LOL

Gotta love those >24hr Shifts

Yea so shit hits the fan, and here I am working again.  In about 2 hours I will have been  up and working for about 24 hours and still have lots more to do.  Gotta love that shit man.

Paycheck

Gotta love the day when you get paid only to see it all gone the next day with bills. YAY for working, YAY for getting paid…. BOO FOR BILLS

eyes are being held open by toothpicks

coming up on 36hrs straight of work. I hate it when servers go down and we gotta fix them. Argggg. But I can’t complain, I do like my job
