I've been pretty silent the last few days. I feel like a pretty big jerk for not going to the NYE party and not saying anything. I'm sorry. I was at another party, and I just got too incapacitated to party hop down there.

I started my new job today. It's totally overwhelming to the point of not knowing even what questions to ask. We went around to a bunch of the facilities. We saw them assembling the trucks--from start to finish, it was pretty impressive. The engines are the size of my car, basically, and the turbocharger is the size of my head!

It seems pretty chill;I'm even thinking that this corporate ladder thing is to my benefit. I'll be busy with reporting and I can do that. That way, I can ease into the stuff I don't quite know.

I'll be moving to SE Woodstock next month: anticipating everything goes according to plan. My friend is buying a house, and I'll be a roommate. It's funny: I never thought I'd have a basement room, but I'll have one. That's just how things go. "How Usual!"

It's a totally rockin' house though. It's beautiful (on the inside) and it has everything really. There's a covered porch, a really neato kitchen, a really open floorplan, a downstairs family room and just really neat. It feels good.

I'm getting pretty antsy, though. Even though it's only been a day since we looked at it. Hillsboro just doesn't cut it anymore. It'll shave off about half my commute, and I'll be in SE Portland, for Crissakes!

Hiya.
