I had my first interview for an internal position at work on Monday, I think it went rather well. Still waiting to hear back about the other position that I'm more excited about. Either way, I think I've got a great chance of stepping out of the field an into a cubicle and fluorescent lighting real soon.
Finished Assassin's Creed II today, not quite as amazing as all the hype I'm afraid. Still, a fantastic game with an engrossing score and above-average story. I'm muddling through Lego Rock Band as well, however, new Borderlands content was just released and stole my attention.
Also finished reading Breaking Dawn the other day. Meh. Kind of a let down. Like I've said numerous times... I enjoy the characters, just not necessarily how the story goes. Nonetheless, It will be interesting to see how the final book translates to film.
I'm officially sick of winter and ready for warmer weather. At least I've got a nice trip to sunny Florida planned for April to daydream about in the meantime. So here's to warmer weather, a different job and just moving along toward better days.

Out From Under
I recently took my tax refund(s) and completely paid-off my car loan. What's more, I took another chunk of said refund and bought four new tires. I've never had a car loan before and I have to tell you, it feels freakin' awesome to be without a car payment again. Finally, I took what I had left and put it aside for a rainy day, or possibly a vacation in the not-to-distant future. Cruise perhaps?
I spent a fantastic Valentine's Day with Angie yesterday, we saw "Young Frankenstein" at The Orpheum. I was really blown away by the performance, even having never seen the original movie. *gasp* Today I've just been lounging around, playing Lego Rock Band and a Assassin's Creed II. I was hoping that I would get a call about one (of the many) jobs I've applied for a work, nothing yet.

February Fun
Finished my taxes today and was happy to see I'm getting another decent refund this year! Enough, in fact, to completely pay off my car, as well as taking care of the minimal balance I'm carrying on my credit card(s). It's a nice feeling to be completely in the green across the board; now if only Wells Fargo would get their act together and make a decision regarding my mortgage.
Started Assassin's Creed II today and it's fantastic. Not fantastic is the recent movie "Whip It" starring Ellen Page. Yikes, it was bad. Think: The Mighty Ducks with roller derby and more suckage. Also started Breaking Dawn a few days ago, I think around page 200 now.
Looking forward to hearing back from Comcast soon about the Fulfillment job I applied for. I have an "in" with a co-worker, so I'm really excited about my chances. It would be an office job working 4/10 hour shifts, pretty badass. Also excited for Valentine's Day (for once), as Angie got us tickets to see "Young Frankenstein" at The Opheum.
