Obligatory sentence stating that its been a long time since I've updated.
So the last thing that I wrote about was the house warming party right ? So lets go first with the major events that have occurred since then. The first would be the conference that I went to in North Carolina, more specifically Research Triangle, for the Mi Co forms that I am using at work. These forms are mainly for handwriting recognition applications, and that is what we are using them for at work. Its a pretty interesting application, but its tough to get everything exactly right on them. And I thought that going to the conference was going to help me in the design aspect of it. Well, it kind of did, and kind of didn't. I learned some stuff about the design of the forms, but nothing that could really help me. The reason is that most of what I am doing is through the VB.NET interface, which I don't really have all that much experience with. So, its slow going. The conference was on the 25th and 26th of April.
The next big event, one that I was initially excited about, was the cruise with Barbara and her friends. This occurred May 1st through the 5th. There are lots of pictures posted regarding it, and I will be putting some more stuff online about it in the near future, but suffice it to say that I did enjoy the trip, but there were some aspects of things that I didn't really like. I guess I was just upset that I couldn't be more open to these people who didn't even know me, and in all likelihood never see me again. It just brought out a lot of old feelings that I thought I had gotten over, but apparently never did. Some byproducts of this trip were having a very nice tan back at work (which I was complimented on quite a bit), and the thought of applying to work on one of the ships for a while. I have pretty much decided not to do that. Mainly because I don't think I could be so out of touch with things, and having to stay in one place for such a long time. I don't know, maybe the thought will come back someday.
The next big thing was Les' birthday party down here. This happened on May 27th. Les brought a whole lot of beer down, and Brandon even came! That was pretty cool to see him after such a long time. Mostly everyone who came had a good time. This includes Leanne, Les, Brandon, Beth, Ishir, Brad, and Jaime. It was pretty good, except for the fact that Brandon got either food poisoning or alcohol poisoning. We were never sure which one it was. But he felt really bad the next morning. He almost didn't go home, but then he did. We also saw XMen 3 that weekend. I saw it twice. Once on Friday and once on Sunday.
The next, and final, big event was Andy and Beth's wedding in Pensacola. Pictures are still pending on this one. They will be uploaded soon. It was a very fun time, and I even danced with people! Crazy eh ? Yeah, I thought so too. But I really did enjoy myself there, seeing all my old friends again. I want to try and stay closer with them, but its hard. I didn't even know Morgan moved to LA, or Sara moved to Boston.
And how am I doing ? I'm doing alright. For some reason tonight I'm feeling kind of down, don't really know why. I think that I'm just tired. I may go to bed after I finish all of this typing. We'll see. I've become good friends with Beth, from work. Not like that, she's married. But we've become good friends, and we talk to each other about lots of different things. Its a nice comfortable relationship. I've also become good friends with Brad. We play video games and talk about other guy stuff. So there, made a new guy friend and new girl friend. That's my quota, I'm done :) Work is going alright. I've been kind of pushed into a project management role, which I don't really mind at all. I'm hoping that it'll pay more in the future. But its pretty fun, heading projects and all. The job isn't so bad. We get an intern tomorrow for the summer. That should prove to be interesting. Some high school kid who our boss says knows some stuff, so we'll see how that goes. Nothing really going on in the relationship front. I think that I'm just maintaining a holding pattern really. Just circling around, being there, but not really going in for anything. I'm happy for the people out there who have somebody, and are happy. I guess I'm happy, but I wish I was in a nice, stable relationship with someone. Well, I'm only 24. There's plenty of time.
