It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
It's only been five days since my last blog, but I've got a whole new outlook on life. I have joined the ranks of the employed. (JenY does jig on coffee table) I just found out this morning that I get to pack up and leave everything I've ever known. Bring on the moving truck! I'm ready for the challenge!
I'm sad to leave behind my friends, but I'm ready for a new stage in life. I've decided there's no better place than California. Sun, sun, and more sun...and none of this snow nonsense. So that's my really big news. I've decided that this job was totally worth the unemployment, and all the arguments and stress. Ask me again in three months if I have the same opinion.
As a counterpoint to the excitement of the new job, I'm fighting a losing battle against some sort of sickness. I tried to blame it on MS, but I don't think it's her fault. I think it's a combination of flying, and then a very long, but very entertaining night out on the town.
Rednic and I started our Friday night at the Melting Pot. Delicious, but a little spendy for me. We caught up on our girl talk for the week. Then we wandered down to the Local, which is where we always seem to wander when we're downtown. There we encountered Neil. He was an interesting sort. A mortgager, so he and Rednic talked financial for a bit. We also met Neil's friends, two of whom were married, but apparently ignorant of their wives.
After leaving the Local, Rednic and I ventured into our favorite downtown establishment. Our bartender Mark wasn't working, but we managed to get his phone number and call him up. Then we met Oliver and Paul, two Australian guys. Or, as I referred to them, Commonwealthians. They were a lot of fun, and we somehow ended up staying at the bar much later than we'd intended, but it was super fun. The next time I'm in Melbourne, I'll know someone.
I spent Saturday and Sunday laying around, which is how I started today. But now I have twenty million things to do in two weeks. It's going to be interesting. Peace out.
