At it Again
Man it's been a long time since I've posted in here. Miguel actually reminded me of this thing when he mentioned it this weekend while I was in SD visiting. Damn that was a good time! I appreciate "home" much more every time I go. It's nice to get to see everyone again considering I don't visit with the same consistency as I used to when I first moved out here. Went and caught a Padres game which had a bit of everything I was hoping for in a game. Got to see the family which is always a welcome treat considering I have no family out here and some of my friends aren't allowed to come out and play all the time.
SO what's been going on with me? Where do I get started? Life in Vegas is treating me well. I really have no complaints other than sometimes it sucks being the only single one out here in my closest circle of friends. Well, my roomy Darla is also single so she has been my go-to person when it comes to going out and having drinks or taking a drive around the town and trying new restaurants. She has become kind of like a sister to me; the one person I can talk to about anything. And it goes both ways; she tells me about everything going on with her. Not to mention that she is helping me out big time with the cheap rent and I like having someone else around the house. I liked living on my own for the first year I was here but that gets lonely. In short, I love my living situation and I love my roommate so no complaints there. Vegas has grown on me since a year and a half ago when I moved out here. I can't believe it's been that long so fast. Time flies out here. My 10-hour shifts at work sometimes feel like they aren't enough because there is always something going on. Oh where was I? Yea, Vegas has grown on me. Aside from shitty traffic and the now triple-digit temps, it's not too bad. There's always something going on and almost everything is open 24-hours (I started typing this yesterday and ended up going out with my bud Mush to Sapphire until 4:30 am because like I mentioned, everything is open 24 hours). It's a different city than San Diego, but it's in a good way. I won't get into specifics because this entry will get way too long considering it's been a long time since I posted and so much has happened since.
Work? Shit I don't know if I can consider it a job. I always wondered when I was in school what it would feel like to wake up in the morning and not care about going to work. You know, that feeling you get when you actually want to get your day started. That's what I feel now. Other than not being a morning person which makes me grumpy in the mornings (Darla knows first-hand), I have nothing negative to say about my job. I finished Field Training in late January and have since been on my own handling my own cases. I admit, it is tough to do what I do, especially when my caseload at work is considered a "specialized" caseload. I finished field training and got thrown into the mix with a vengeance. I had to quickly learn facets of the job that I wasn't taught, like dealing with Parolees, Interstate cases, and House Arrest cases. Yet, I have managed to handle them all. I'll say it again though, I LOVE MY JOB.
In another bit of news from last night, Mush told me that he's going to Boston for a family reunion in late July and asked if I want to come along. No hotel, free food, how could I say no? I hope it works out. It would be nice to see Boston and maybe even catch a Red Sox game. So there it is folks, the missing one is back and these are the highlights of what's been going on in my life for the past 6-8 months. Maybe I'll start updating this more often. Peace
