Day 396 of 365 More. Well, I survived the first day, but I’m exhausted. And I really didn’t do much "work" per se. Just a lot of set-up stuff. But hopefully I’ll get used to it all soon. The office is nice, as are all the people I work with, and I’m sure I’ll feel…
Day 395 of 365 More. So today I made the decision to accept an offer from what I was calling company #2. I was holding out a bit for company #1 to see what their offer was, but they still weren’t ready to make me one yet, and I like company #2 better anyway, so…
Day 394 of 365 More. Steph and I barely saw each other this weekend. I dropped her off at her parents yesterday for her bike thing, and then I was gone to a wrestling show by the time she got home today I was already gone. So I left watching the season opener a little…
Day 393 of 365 More. Woke up crazy early this morning (well, ok, 8am, but its a fucking Saturday) to take Steph to her parents house so that she can do some kind of charity bike ride. Sixty miles over two days sounds insane until you realize that her father and sister are doing the…
Day 392 of 365 More. So today I started filling out preliminary paperwork to start at what I’ve been calling job #2. Next week. I guess you could say its a done deal. But its not. It’s like at 99% certainty, but if life kicking me in the ass repeatedly over the last 33+ years…
Day 391 of 365 More. So I had a second interview with company number one today. I guess it went ok. Supposedly they’ll be getting back to me by Monday. I need to call company number two tomorrow. So hopefully I can make a decision about things. I just hope I’m not getting ahead of…
Day 390 of 365 More. Let the cards fall where they may… Won my poker game this evening. It’s been a while since that’s happened. In fact not only did I win, I pretty much had a dominating chip lead the entire time. Maybe my luck is turning. I have a second interview with one…
Day 389 of 365 More. Actually had a pretty good job interview today. I’m pretty sure that I have a job there if I want it, which takes a lot of the pressure off for Thursday’s interview. Of course I’ve been wrong before, so I’m not out of the woods yet. But I do feel…
Day 388 of 365 More. I’ve been in a dreary mood today. I have no idea why. Honestly it was kind of a good day. Had a Labor Day BBQ with various friends from complete different social circles, which always makes for an interesting evening. Finally found out yesterday that I didn’t get the job…
Day 387 of 365 More. A friend of mine has an annual Labor Day party where he hires a karaoke DJ. The last couple of years its turned into a Karaoke competition. "Karaoke Idol" he calls it. I did some of my standards, Soul Man, Golddigger, You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling (duet with Steph) and…
Day 386 of 365 More. I do not put my left arm in. I do not put my left arm out. I do not put my left arm in. And I do not shake it all about. I do not do the hokey pokey. I do not turn myself around. And that is certainly not…
Day 385 of 365 More. Happy birthday to me. Ok, yeah, I know it was almost a month ago. But on my birthday, my mother gave me a gift certificate to Best Buy. I wanted to wait to use it until there was something I really wanted. Today was that day. Earlier this week the…
Day 384 of 365 More. I tried to do this shot back on day 251 of my first 365 days project. I couldn’t make it work out right then. Honestly it’s not totally how I envisioned it this time either. In any case, there’s an interesting thing about pinball. I can spend the whole day…
Day 382 of 365 More. Not my initial idea for today, but I just didn’t have the time to get done what I was planning. Saw a bobblehead doll on our bookshelf and decided it might be cute to make myself into one. Personal note to myself. Save early and often. Even when you’re just…
Day 380 of 365 More. Spent the morning watching Ninja Warrior with Steph and then went to a BBQ at her sister’s house and played some Nintendo Wii. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday. Need to get up REALLY early in the morning tomorrow. I have a job interview at 7:30, so…
