It's a beautiful morning

Today is the first day of waking up knowing where I'll be working soon. It feels great to not have my guts twisting around inside of me as I consider every little possibility and worst-case-scenario of jobs and just accept that my future's looking rosy. The job will start on the 22nd which is good and bad. It's bad because I need some cash, but it's good because it gives me a week to tie up loose ends before I go on vacation from being unemployed. I've got to study for my EIT Exam (Engineering Test to get certified to engineer) and that's going to be a real pain. I also want to get some time to work on Virtual joel and get him to a point where he's decent enough to be posted without my feeling like I gave up. After all this build-up you'd be pissed if it wasn't just as delightfully engaging as interacting with the real me, wouldn't you? Luckily, objective interpretations of my social skills coupled with my flexible self-esteem allow me to consider that statement true regardless of the outcome.

My Parents will be here tomorrow. I've got a lot of cleaning up to do in preparation, but I'm looking forward to seeing them. Today's going to be a day of running errands. Yesterday was an exciting day in which i chose a job and Erica passed her Math test to get into the higher level course. We celebrated with Hunan Manor Chinese food and I got a Mai Tai. Today we'll clean up the loose ends, like filling out my new-hire forms and getting Erica a new Math Book. With Great Power comes great responsibility. Maybe I should make myself a Mai-Tai to kick off the day in style. Like the horrible European-naughty-'Candid Camera'-rip-off infomercial says; "Just Kidding!".

I updated the Archives a little. They're at the bottom of the page. THey're still not worth reading, but you can access all of them now. As Kevin from Home Alone says; "YESSSSssssss!".

Stand Tall, Stand Proud

I'm going to work for the cellular company. That's what I want to do.

Oh, I fixed the Napoleans MP3 link below, too.

Agonizing Demise

I still have not selected the job I want to take, of the three offers that I have, but I felt like I was pretty dang close earlier today. I went out and played Disc Golf alone and figured that I wanted to work for the cellular company. Then I told some people my decision and I was feeling good, and I got some lukewarm reactions and I even called the other company and told them and they shook it off and told me to think about it and let them know tomorrow. I think I need to be a bit more forward but I also need to be a bit more sure as to what I want. Afterall, last night I was all set to take the Chip-Design position, but I changed my mind after playing disc golf on a nice autumn day and thinking about how nice it would be to get a chance to be outside while I'm working. Each place has nice people there who understand my plight to some extent, but I really am trying hard to be more decisive. Show me some support, call me and tell me what to do. Just kidding, I need to make my own choices, but I do enjoy talking it over with people, just to keep myself from falling into any ruts. Typically I try to offer reasons in defense of the other jobs, should someone actually choose one rather than saying "Just do what makes you happy", and that leads people to believe I want the other one, so they tell me to take that one. It's a big mess, I'm really mixed up, but I'll figure it out.

Anyways, Here's a link to the Napoleans LIVE at LBHS Battle of the Bands, 1995. Enjoy the mp3's and know I'm here beating myself up over which job to choose. Hooray!
