To add insult to injury, not only did I have to go to L.A. last week, I also brought back some sort of plague. Ugh...I'm so damn sick...and it will not go away...on day 5 and still feel as bad as I did Day 1.

What's been going on...hmmmm. Well, now that I'm gainfully employed, I've been trying to put myself "out there" with respect...

I'm off to new and exotic locales...this time Downtown L.A. and Santa Monica. I grew up in So Cal, but I always hate going back. When you land at LAX, you can see a layer of brown haze covering the whole city...ick. You couldn't pay me enough to live there. Oh well, it's only a 2 day trip and I'll make the most of if....

The social gathering the other night was good fun. I saw a lot of people I've wanted to for a long time...and a few I haven't. Most were disgruntled and talked shop the whole night. A few asked questions about my current workplace...not in the way that they were interested, but in the way that they wanted a job and recommendation from me. I hate...

Last night my roommate (and the home owner) notified me of his intent to put in his 2 week's notice at work. He doesn't have another job lined up either. I just took an extended break myself...the last 15 months, but I had a significant amount of cash saved up. He on the other hand, has no money...I mean he's always living hand to mouth...

Where to begin...hmmm. Got roped into a side project at work, so I've been working most of my weekend. Okay, I admit I haven't been sitting in front of the computer grinding, but I've been thinking about work...what I'm gonna do...what I'm gonna say. It's tough to relax, ya know?

I looked in my wallet this morning and I realized that my friend's girlfriend, the...

Ahhh...it was a great day for a BBQ. I celebrated 4th of July a bit early. My roommate and I fired up the grill, made some squeelers and enjoyed a pitcher of sangria that has been marinating since yesterday. I'm in a much better mood than I was yesterday...not that I was in a BAD mood then, but was feeling a bit egomaniacal. Only problem...

First off, what a frickin' gorgeous Saturday! It's not 4th of July yet, but my roommate and I are gonna fire up the coals anyway, make margaritas and mojitos, and relax. I have a ton of work to catch up on, but I'll do it Monday/Tuesday...the weekend is sacred. THere is a big company BBQ today..I probably should have gone, but it's WAY up in...

Bleh, I'm beat. Got back from Seattle late last night...didn't have time to do shit besides go straight to bed and get up for work. The trip wasn't bad until the return home. Had a good opportunity to bond with my co-workers, though I can't say I appreciate their low standards for food. The first meal we had was in an Italian chain restaurant...where's the...

Can't write much. Off to Seattle. It's for business unfortunately. Hope to swing by Pike's market at least though. Fired up the BBQ...didn't notice the nest full of wasps inside it. Not sure why I wasn't stung, but I'm thankful. Ummmm...well...no time for any thoughtful insights today. I guess I'll just head to the airport.
