Time For An Update

It's definitely a blogging kind of day today. I should be at work right now, but I'm not and it feels great. The main reason I'm so excited NOT to be there is I have been offered a new job doing print/production work full-time. The second reason is because my current job sucks so bad I can barely take it another minute. I'm going in this week to talk salary and benefits for the new job, which basically means I've really stopped caring on the phones. I've never had a more stress-inducing job before, customer service/call center work is the last thing I would ever considering doing again. Bottom line, very excited for the new job but a little anxious for the negotiation process.

In other news, just got back from an awesome vacation in Wisconsin Dells with Angie. We booked a suite complete with our own balcony, hot tub, fridge and microwave, which was definitely worth the extra dough. We spent the first night at the Tommy Bartlett show, which is basically a ski, sky and variety show. Our second day we spent at Noah's Ark waterpark, and our third day at Mount Olympus waterpark. Finally, the last day we went to Circus World in Baraboo, Wisconsin. We had lots of fun, perfect weather and we both can't wait to go back again.

Other than that, I've just been trying to enjoy everyday of summer before it's gone. The new bike has been great, as was the Rock Band party we hosted a few weeks ago. Living in a house again presents many "projects" to work on, most recently fixing a leaking faucet outside and hanging a new curtain rod in the living room.

The last great game I played was Alan Wake, which I'm currently in the process of replaying, actually. Not a whole lot of good movies lately, part of me is happy to start cutting back on them anyway. I haven't had cable for over 3 months now, and after initial withdrawal from Mythbusters, I really don't miss it.

Anyway, I'm looking ahead now to a new start at a new job, finally moving all my stuff out of the old house and changing my permanent address. I feel like I've been stuck in transition every since I first walked on at Comcast, just over a year ago. Maybe the house in foreclosure, terrible job experience and living in limbo wasn't all that bad. I mean, if it was the only way to meet Angie, I'd do it all over again tomorrow.
