Where ya been??

I know, I know, it's been too long since my last entry..but I'm here now. This week has been a crazy week for me at work. Too much drama going on, it's making me sick. Literally. I applied for a corp. training position at my current company. It would allow me to continue to use/grow my technical knowledge, at the same time rid me of my current co-worker situation. I would also be able to keep my seniority. We shall see if anything comes of that. I may have to start looking around again, but I already know what I'm facing there, and I don't want to do that. I'm also going to apply for a part-time gig at the Apple store. I think that would be a fun way to get better with Apple technology, make a little bit of money on the side, and have a little fun. Who knows. I need to shake things up a bit, my current routine is very unsatisfying.

I got to play hockey at the HersheyPark arena last weekend, that was great fun. I love that old building. It's so nostalgic.

This weekend we are going to see Carey's grandparents in New Jersey, then I get some "boy time" with my friends in Atlantic City. I'm so ready for that.

All else is well, I should have a new article up on the down n dirty site in the next few days. I'm lovin' the warm weather! YAY Spring!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday....

Good afternoon! For most football fans today is one of the biggest of the year. For me, its a fun game to watch, and the opportunity to take in a Caps game in the afternoon. They play every year on super bowl Sunday at 12:30. Today's result, a 7-4 win over Ottawa.

This weekend I made the road trip to New Jersey with the wife for her grandparents wedding anniversary as well as her grandfather's 81st birthday. Saturday was fun, lots of Italians yelling at everyone, lots of down time to nap on the couch, and a hell of a meal the an authentic Italian restaurant. Notice a theme here? hehehe

Friday was an interesting day at work. We had out annual super bowl day, with a HUUUUGE potluck. It was a fun day. I wore my Giants jersey just to mess with the hundreds of Redskins fans I work with. In the middle of all the fun we(in IT) got some sad news. We learned that there will be no raises or promotions this week. The good news is we get to keep our jobs. It was tough to head to the party and have fun after hearing that. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the company reacts. The policy is company wide. I am now thankful that I remain employed.

I'm off to a small super bowl party...have a good day!
