This week is worse than last
Like I did on the phone with Kat today...good news and bad news:
THE BAD
THE BAD
- My grandfather's health is doing so well now and I really do feel for my mom because she's here and he's out in Philippines. It seems like it's last June all over again and it's not looking good.
- I came home yesterday to find my car smashed in my garage. Yes, SMASHED....in my fucking garage. And there was no note. Stupid hit and run. Our building only has 6 units so I at least know it had to be one of them. I've narrowed it down (by process of "you have no fucking damage to your car - elimination") to this one car. When I approached them about it they claim that "oh, whoever hit you must've hit us too". But I really think it's them cause all the other cars aren't damaged in any way. I reported it to the police as a hit and run and took photos of all the cars and the garage layout, but cops aren't very helpful at this time. I'm just waiting for my appraiser to come out this weekend and tell me if the damage is too severe. My blue book value on my car is only about $5000 at most. So, paying alot to fix it may not be worth it. We shall see how this plays out....
- I accepted a great offer with Rearden Commerce, the hi-tech startup in Foster City. I start on Monday, March 17 so I put my notice into my current boss yesterday. I wanna leave a couple days off in between to visit my parents with all that is going on with the family. Things are hectic at work cause i have to do my regular duties on top of cross training the team on what i do and creating a transition manual. I can't wait for a vacation. My friend invited me to come on a trip with her and a couple others to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. I was going to pass but the prices dropped dramatically the past couple of days for some odd reason. I'm gonna call my new boss tomorrow and see if i can get the time off approved for a week. I hope she says yes cause then i can start work and then 3 weeks later take my trip to catch me some sun in BRAZIL!!
