The first few weeks since I turned 26 have been insane. It was as if I hit that age and life decided to throw a few curve balls my way followed by a speeding semi. Ive gotten thru the majority of it so far, and only broke down once.
Things at work are still up in the air a bit- the company cell phone port of about 250 lines from AT&T to T-Mobile didn't go as smoothly as planned- things like that never do. Most of the problems have been worked out so far- and my boss has been impressed with how knowledgeable and with my familiarity with all the technology- I guess I did get something from that tech support job at AT&T besides a lot of bad memories. The Irony- my main boss is going to be leaving in about two weeks, and direct supervisor will be the one doing my evaluation- who has said, "there is no way I could keep this building together without you." So potentially a pay raise in the future it sounds like.
In the middle of all this was Elliot's death. I met Elliot back when I was 13 back in the Northwest Boychoir and I reconnected with him when he started going to my church about 5 years ago. My brother, father - the parish music director, Elliot and I all sang in the 7 am morning quartet together for years, and in spite me not being catholic, I enjoyed singing in that group because of the familial bond that developed. Im happy that my family was able to share some warmth and kindness with him.
Everything is starting to finally be unpacked with the move to the new apartment a month ago, and I still feel like I hit the jackpot in finding this place. The continuing life goal ahead of me to work on more is getting back into school- about half way thru studying for the GRE test, and it just seems like life keeps getting in the way. Either its karma trying to tell me its not the way, or providing me with a trial that I must overcome. Id much rather think of it as a trial of course, It will make it so much more important to me when I finally get my foot back in that door. The plan is still to get my second bachelors in physics, and my master's in teaching at the same time. Its the pie in the sky that I'm reaching for, and if I dont get there, somehow my life will feel incomplete. I have to explore this, else I will always be wondering what could have been.
Thats all for now-
