*Sweeps dust away*
Wow, been a while since I used this thing. Not sure why, but I seem to have got out of the habit of clicking over to LJ on my daily internet trawl. I'm sure I've missed a lot of stuff going on with everyone and for that I apologise.
Of course a big reason for not posting is that it's not like I do much to talk about. Currently studying for my NREMT exam which is next Wednesday. I quit my job at the beer and wine store because I was finding it impossible to find time to effectively study in and kept having to put my test date back, which was fortunately free to do. I enjoyed my time there, particularly once I got to do orders (bringing in new beer for me to try is always fun), but it's not like I ever planned to be there for that long in the first place, and once I've got my exam done, I really need to look for a job that'll utilise my new skills. I'll be looking into Clinical Tech positions at the hospitals around here for sure. I know Children's Hospital down in Dallas does hire EMT-B's in that position and trains in IVs and taking blood, etc., but I'd rather not have to drive that far every day.
In other news, when the whole David Beckham signing for Los Angeles Galaxy was announced, I persuaded Brenda to come to some FC Dallas games with me as she's always said that Beckham's nice to look at as long as he doesn't speak. She agreed, so I signed us up for the 5 game "Beckham ticket package" which included 4 regular season games, and the Superliga game that promised to be Beckham's first game against MLS opposition (it wasn't, because he's constantly injured, but that's another matter).
Anyway, a weird thing happened - Brenda actually became a fan. She claims that she doesn't really know what's going on, but I think she understands more than she gives herself credit for. She upgraded our package to half-season tickets, and we've seen some great games so far. We also won a corporate suite for the game on Saturday against DC United for 20 people. Should be fun.
