I'm very sorry that I haven't been updating as much as I'd like to. I promise to be more attentive in the future. The new job is going well but I'm snowed under with work. I'm catching things up from the 2+ weeks that nobody was doing the job so It's going to be at least a few weeks before I can get into a real routine. However, I seem to be doing quite well at the tasks at hand so things aren't looking too bad.
I had planned on posting this sentiment yesterday but I got hit with a fierce stomach bug on Tuesday evening and spent the entire night cleansing my intestinal tract (puking, diarrhea, etc.). I was so sick that I actually called in sick from work (the last time I did this was in October 2004). I spent yesterday sleeping and feeling crappy all around but I'm feeling much better today (about 80% overall) and am back at work.
Life update: Had a friend over for the weekend. Friday night we went to see a new improv company's show and she ended up being the subject of the entire show. It was great. She now has a theme song and a catchphrase. Saturday we had problems with the electricity so we had to leave for a bit while they did some repairs. That evening we saw Mud Creek's production of "The Premature Corpse" (no, the very mature corpse ... the wise, learned man corpse). It was good but the actors really should have had their lines better memorized. Sunday we stayed in all day and watched a lot of curling. Just a note: curling dialogue sounds a lot like porn directions (hard, hard, no, no, yes, hard, etc.)
beldar had the stomach bug on Monday & Tuesday so he stayed home while I started my new job. He was back to work yesterday while I was at home so today was actually our first morning on my new work schedule. Tonight we're going to try to see a show (should be OK for it).
I will do my best to get my updates back to weekdays again at least.
TTFN!
