A hell of a week.
60+ hrs. at work, in 5 days. Probably go in Sunday as well. This job is stressful and sometimes confusing, I am overworked and often under-informed. This job may be the best thing that's happened to me professionally. It could turn into one of those small companies that exploded on a scene, due to a vacuum created by new legislation, that just turns out huge. Or not. But I'm glad I have a chance to be a part of it.
Had a birthday; starting to dislike those. Happy b-day to Godfrey & Troy as well.
American elected Barack Obama. This is astounding and encouraging for many reasons, one of them being that I expected many closet racists to make this impossible. To those of you that dislike Obama, I understand your fears. Imagine, though, if he is as good as his word, if he really is the statesmen he seems to be to his supporters. My religious friends speak of the power of belief; cannot America's belief in his message bring a positive power? I believe in his message, and his message is clear: Yes We Can. Like him or not, that is a positive message.
I love my new house, it's everything I want, and the new 50" plasma TV makes it that much better. This was bought with some of the severance, making it my "Fuck you Citigroup" TV. I do wish, however, I was closer to my friends. They make up much of what I am, and I feel less than complete without them so much. I will try to ensure I am at Crown for that sole reason.
Goodbye to Yma Sumac, Incan Princess and Tiki Goddess. Your haunting sounds will live on.
