Oct 22

The past few weeks have been pretty hectic.  I spent some time trying to prepare for my first week at Resource Systems and before I knew it my first day had arrived.  I actually finished my first week (5 days) today.  Looking back I don’t see how it could have gone much better.  Everyone there is amazing and incredibly supportive.  Today was fun as I made a few jaws drop when telling people about the work I was already into.  I think I’m coming along much quicker than they expected which is a good thing.  I don’t feel like I’ve taken on too much but I feel very busy.

Windows 7 is finally available and I need to get it.  The only problem is that there is no machine that I really feel comfortable with installing it on.  My tablet is in decent shape but is not quite up to par when it comes to specifications and our desktop is kind of the same way.  I would say that it might be time to get a new computer but we just got the 360 and tv so another big purchase is out of the question for now.

Tera and I have been watching a couple of movies on the 360 through Netflix.  We watched Flatliners and Prom Night.  Both were decent movies but not as good as expected.  I had high hopes for Flatliners but it just wasn’t very suspenseful.  Prom Night didn’t seem to be to great going in and didn’t do much to make a case for itself as being very good.  The Netflix system is nice though and the streaming quality has been impressive.

Time to get some sleep for tomorrow.

I had a pretty amazing weekend.  On Saturday, Tera and I met with Jake and his fiancee (can’t remember her name) to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and play some glow putt.  The movie was ok.  I didn’t expect much but it was fine for what it was.  What really seemed extreme was the amount of trailers shown before the actual movie.  There were about 6-7 trailers that took up a little over 20 minutes.  I wasn’t happy.  Glow putt was more fun.  We didn’t keep score but we all did about the same.

Tera and I got back to Cambridge and she said she wanted me to carry something up that was in the trunk of her car.  I opened it up to find a new Xbox 360 she bought me for getting my new job.  At first I was kind of in shock that she bought it but once it wore off I was extremely excited.  Instead of messing with the old TV we decided it was time to finally get a new high def TV.  We went to Walmart and got a Vizio which has been amazing so far.  The only game I have is Madden 10 so Scott and I have been playing that online.

I stopped by Muskingum today to check in with CNS and see Andy to give him his groomsman gifts.  It was nice seeing some people that I haven’t seen in awhile but when it comes to Muskingum as a whole I don’t think I miss it.  I thought that I would but I’m happy to be done there.

Have to clean up the apartment from the mess that was the weekend.  There are boxes and papers all over the place.

It seems that’s the case.  The last group of updates was following Tera getting her new job and now this one is because I finally…FINALLY…got mine.  Resource Systems here I come!  It took an extremely long (but well worth it) interview process but I’ve finally made it.  I’ll be an intern for awhile to make sure everything fits well.  As long as everything works out I will get a full time position.

In addition to getting a job, September 19th marked the end of my life (according to my fantastic group of friends) and Tera and I’s wedding.  It went great and I’ll have to get pictures posted sometime soon.
