The disorganization of an organization…

It is said that starting a new job can be a hectic procedure, what with the paperwork, the new faces, and the new duties.  Well, having been through it for the last week or so let me assure you that such an assertion is certainly true.

It’s not that this place is disorganized, it’s that getting into their schedule is disorganizing me.  I’m having to redo my outside life so I can better perform in my professional life.  Don’t get me wrong, I see a lot of benefit long term in this, it’s just growing pains is all.  

On the up side, I’m enjoying the work so far, and am looking forward to being able to contact my case load this coming friday.  Each day has brought something new and I can only hope that the “honeymooning” period lasts a long time.  Plus, coming home to Anne is nicer than ever.

As I’m sure you can all tell I’m having trouble getting my blog back in weekly order.  I figure it will come, with time, as I adjust to the new schedule better.  For now I’m off to relax for a little longer on the couch with my girlfriend.

Thursday night lights…

Well the week is almost up and I’ve had a wonderful time at my new job.  I’ve met a lot of interesting people so far and I’m certainly learning a bunch.  Today I recieved my case load, though I wont be working with clients for a while yet.  I’d report more but I forgot about the blog till just a few min. ago, but need to be up early again tomorrow for work.  

I will try and post again on Friday if I have some more time.

When arguing with a rock…

   It is often said that men can be a callous stubborn bunch, but believe me this is not always the case.  At times other are just the same, if not worse.  This weekend showed me one such time.  It was earlier today while Anne and I were rock climbing with our friend Hexar. 

  We were working on a route and as I climbed it I fell off.  Undisturbed by such an occurrence, I simply went back and started again.  This time, as I fell towards the ground, I distinctly made a plan on how to get up the wall.  Once rested, I asked the wall if it would allow me to climb it.  Hearing no response I took that for a yes.  So up I went, until tumbling down again I fell.  I figured that well maybe the wall needed more encouraging so I told the wall that I would be climbing, and that it would simply have to deal with it.  Again no response, so up I started before promptly being dropped to the ground.

  At about this point I figured that reasoning with the wall wasn’t going to work.  I took my fist and hit the wall, and got a nasty semi-surprise of being hit back.  Lesson of course being, some inanimate objects hit back.

  Jokes aside, it has been a very pleasant weekend.  Anne and I went on several walks, went out to diner with friends, and even found time to host a small gathering to boot.  I think of all the things we did, going to “The Locks ” was the best. (The locks are like the panama canal on a much tinier scale.)  It was nice to get outside on a semi-sunny day and just see some interesting machines doing what is at least to me an uncommon job.

  This week brings with it the new job and I will try and fill in some of the details this coming Thursday with the next update.  Hope all of you are doing well.

A whirlwind of fun…

  So first, I would like to apologize for not writing yesterday on schedule.  Got wrapped up with some friends in the evening and totally spaced it.  I suppose it’ll take me a little time to get back into the groove of things, for now its on to business.

  This week has been a busy one.  Monday brought with it the potential for a job at a law firm.  This is something that has been in the works for a couple months now, and it looked as though it was finally coming to a close.  As it turns out I had an interview on Friday with the C.O.O. of the company and now I’m to begin work on Tuesday.  The job entails being a Care Manager, I’ll make sure to let more info. out as it becomes available.

  Sorry this post is so blah, I’ve just been running around since 8 this morning with vets and pets.  All is well with the kitties, and Missy even had her first bath!  I’ll try and get my act together for the Sunday post.

  One last note, welcome to all the new readers.  It’s wonderful to know that more of my family has joined in.

Introducing…

It is with great pleasure that I introduce our kitties to the world!

 

Welcome one and all back to my blog.  It’s been a while since I’ve written so please excuse the rust.  Just to let you all know, I will be updating on Sunday and Thursday evenings.  This way you can start or end you work week with the blog or however you see fit.  

As many of you know, my girlfriend Anne is now out here in the United States!  It has been very enjoyable so far, with lots of visits to friends and family.  Speaking of which, we saw my folks over the Christmas season.  I’ll be making a longer post on this later.  I simply wanted to get started tonight by letting everyone know the new schedule and what not.  

A bit more on the kitties, we rescued them from a shelter, though they were very well taken care of when we found them.  Each has a distinct personality, and they both love attention.  It took us about a week to name them, I know kinda ridiculous considering how quickly we named them once we got it just right.  

Don’t forget to leave comments on things you’re curious about, and I’ll do my best to answer.
