I cant believe it but its almost Christmas day. I often think about the sacrafice that was made for me, especially during this time of year. Im more the reason for the season sorta person instead of the lights and gifts type. It blows my mind to think of the cost of the gift that was given. I am so very thankful for Salvation, Family, Church, Brothers and Sisters in Christ. I am overwhelmed at the many blessings I have been given.
I started my new job on Wed. When I went in it was like a reunion party, everyone I worked with 5 years ago was still there. I talked half the day and as it would turn out the department was having a pot luck that day so I got to eat for free!!! My 2 favorite things. When that happened I knew I was in the right place. The rest of the day was spent chatting over deer jerky and bologna about all the tales of deer that was hunted in the weeks just prior.
I did get my desk cleaned off from all the dust that accumulated there and setup my computers, somehow I got a flat screen monitor (there are only a few people who have them) and my manager came over and asked how I got it and that there were other engineers that deserved it over me, I asked him how he knew someone else deserved it over me, it was my first day, I havent had a chance to prove myself yet. I said Let me keep it and I will show you I deserve it in less than a year from now.
Today my manager rudely interrupted me while I was chatting with a co-worker to ask if I was going to do any work, the nerve of some people! I did inform him that I only had 2 hrs left till the end of my shift so there was no sense in starting then but I would be fresh and ready to go 1st thing in the AM. He just rolled his eyes at me, said whatever and walked back to his office.
I tried to explain the quality over quantity thing and esprit de corps (team spirit) to him but he didnt stick around to hear it.
I completed another computer course and my instructor emailed me to let me know I got an A in his class. 4.0 still!!! I think that might go down some since now I am taking Math which I cant stand. I have been working in my field for quite a few years now and I have never once found 9x-(-8)+13p+2 or 2x+5y-3=4x-2y+7 of any help whatsoever, nor have I ever cared if Carlos painted 1/3rd of a house with 5.5 gallons of paint and wanted to figure out how much it took him to complete the job. Im enrolled in a Networking degree program for crying out loud!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!

Did you know it's been about 3 full weeks since you've updated your blog? Ahhh, you've probably been busy with potlucks and homework. I understand. Hope your new job is going great! You're a great person and they're lucky to have a guy like you. (I feel a hug coming on.) All you have to do is keep reminding them of it. Say something like "Don't you know who I am?".
Update Update Update
Just kidding, sort of, I'm sure you are totally not busy with the new job, or college or anything, nah!
I was going to update last night but I didnt get to leave choir practice at 8pm like someone I know.
