Lukewarm and loving it

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006

It doesn’t seem fair that the worst times drag on forever and good times go by all too quickly. This week in particular was neither really great nor really bad, though, so it went by about as quickly as you could expect. It was a week a bit like the intro to Tale of Two Cities, so I suppose the best times and the worst averaged out to be, well, average. I’ll take that! Hey, lukewarm is a vast improvement…

I thought this week was going to be awful seeing as how I was back in training full-time at work again. It actually turned out all right in the end, although I’m only halfway done now and still have the worst part (a presentation in front of my boss and my boss’ boss) ahead of me. The people in my training class have been really nice and fun, so it’s made it a lot easier than it otherwise would have been. Unless you consider learning how to install and customize application virtualization software a good time, in which case the activities alone and the 1,000+ page book would be all you could ever ask for.

Little did I know then that over the course of the several hours we would spend together, an entire hour’s worth of happiness would be wishful thinking.

Free trip to Freeport

Tuesday, July 11th, 2006
I’m back from what is without a doubt the shortest trip abroad I’ve ever taken. I’m not even sure if “abroad” is the best word to use, considering I’ve traveled farther for an afternoon of shopping, but The Bahamas is ... [Continue reading this entry]

That other fireworks day

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

I can hardly believe it’s July already. That means I’ve been at my job for a month now, the World Cup is nearly over, and the next holiday I have to look forward to is Possum Day. On the ... [Continue reading this entry]

Monday, June 26th, 2006

Work in the Bahamas? Don’t twist my arm…

Monday, June 19th, 2006
I promise, this will be my last comment about lizards (maybe)...they are so unbelievably HUGE down here! I was at Home Depot yesterday wandering around the garden section and I saw this little lizard, like the cute green ones that ... [Continue reading this entry]

My possum family legacy, and other stuff

Sunday, June 18th, 2006
