Well, how's this for an update...
I'm blogging from WORK! Pretty nifty, eh?
We just finished our first test....and since I've got time to kill til everyone else is finished...
yes..I finished first...overachiever that I am...
Anyway
While I wait for the others to finish...I figured I'd post something.
The commute still isn't too terribly bad...just a bit boring. I've got CD's and books on tape..but after a while you just want the journey to end. I'd do the "are we there yet" thing, but then I would just have to smack myself and threaten to pull the car over...and then it would just take me longer to get home.
Okay, that was an attempt at a joke folks..sorry..I'll leave the humor to the professionals...
Uh huh...never mind. :-)
Anyway, training hasn't been too difficult either...the class is a pretty cool mix of techies and "normal" people, and the material is interesting. Getting on the floor will be a challenge...but I am looking forward to it.
Speaking of jobs, I went to my old job to pick up my final paycheck...and they "forgot" to pay me for my accumulated vacation time. Forgot my ass. They were ticked that I quit, and this was their way of getting back at me. So, I'm short around $200. Stupid, petty people. Oh well..nothing I can really do about it, 'cept keep doing my new job...and maybe borrow some cash from my parents...bleh.
Well, that's about it. We hope to be moved up here completely by the middle of next month. I really need to get packing and decide what stays, what goes and what gets tossed. At this point, I'm ready to sell everything and start all over again. I like the idea of a completely clean slate. Of course, the computers and electronic equipment would come with us. I said I wanted a clean slate...not a quiet, empty one. :-)
Take care all...I'll check in again later!
