Greetings, Friends! It's been a long ass time since I've posted. I must say that life is damn good right now. Here are a few reasons why (in no particular order):
1. I have a new job!!! I started in the beginning of Jan. I am doing the same stuff, just not surrounded by evil. I must say that cells look much more glorious (or rather, gloriouser) when a bitter supervisor isn't looking over my shoulder. Although, Herpes looks glorious in any situation. (It may sound gross to you, but seriously, I love diagnosin me some Herpes.) The new job is in Evanston. The lab is laid back and the people rock. They are a diverse, warm group of coworkers. Hooray!
2. Da Bears. Fricking Bears are rocking my mutha fucking world! I'm sooooo stoked! I dream every night about the game; we win every time. (And by "we", I mean the Chicago Bears, of course.) Anyway... Sunday can't get here soon enough! We'd better fricking win this game.
3. Joel and I celebrated our 1 yr anniversary in Dec. I still feel all giddy around him. I'm pretty much the luckiest girl around. Not only did I luck out with Joel, but he has this fantastic group of friends and family that have rocked my world. (Pssst... That's you guys.)
Here is a list of interesting tidbits from the last few months:
1. Joel and I were at OHM, a club in Wicker Park. He was still rockin the stache (his birthday present to me) and a reporter from SunTimes took our picture (we made it to the "society page"). The experience made me feel less than 30. Oh, and the photographer made a comment to Joel about the mustache making a comeback. If there is a revival, I hope Joel gets cred.
2. There is a man that I see on the el in the mornings. He doesn't have teeth and eats his bbq Fritos by sucking on them until he can gum chew and swallow. This process is intriguing and quite annoying.
3. Another dude on the el (who also eats chips for breakfast) rocks out to some painful music. The sound fills the entire car, despite the fact that he wears headphones. While I do appreciate his love for Prince and Michael Jackson, if I hear Whitney Houston belt out "I will always love you" one more time I might throw myself onto the CTA platform and end the agony. (Although I would have then died with that song playing in my head, so I guess I'll plan another end to the agony.)
That is all for now (my lunch break is over). I hope to update a little more often. Have a fantastic day!
