January 1st 2011 my severance ran out and I was officially unemployed. I was home alone for the countdown.
I started full time at City College taking physics and math classes, ostensibly for an engineering transfer.
HealthySF wouldn't pay for ADD meds so I went off them.
Living on $405 a week, I taught myself to cook and do motorcycle maintenance. Indian food and a valve adjustment. We threw a couple dinner parties.
I went through a difficult breakup with Sara and was depressed for a while.
I got pretty good at tetris.
I played Frank Chu for Journey to the end of Night.
Somehow got some gigs doing apache stuff. So weird.
Made a viral craigslist post about burning man.
I proposed to Krissia and we got married on June 25th in our home town of Santa Rosa.
I went to Juplaya with Eso. Also backpacking at Henry Coe.
I accidentally got hired at a tech startup. I didn't realize I was being interviewed, I just thought they had a lot of questions.
That same night, motorcycle accident. Hit by a Corolla in an intersection. Open Tib/Fib fracture, on crutches for the next two months, missed all the summer fun.
Started dating Sara again, it lasted about a month. Learning how to be just friends.
Started a new semester at CCSF but couldn't keep up and dropped most classes.
Bought a used car so I could get to work.
I made an ARG for monochrom's Arse-Elektronika and showed off my brain-controlled vibrator.
I started enjoying IT again and became a workaholic because it's stuff I've wanted to dive into for a while. No more microsoft servers!
Went back on ADD meds.
Played trumpet in Jonathan's video about Maru the cat.
The wifi network in the office made me hate life for a few weeks. It was a driver issue.
A visit to Seattle over Halloween. Haunted houses with p00n.
A trip in Tahoe with friends.
A decent first date. Potential.
Kris got a second home with Arsenio in San Rafael.
Rearranged and furnished our apartment, bought a storage unit and moved out the clutter. It looks like grownups live here. First time I've ever felt comfortable at home.
Ended the year surrounded by friends at a house party.
Resolved to focus on computer skills this year.
