A darker shade of green
Wow. I thought it had been longer than a month since I had written here, but I guess I was wrong. I'm more faithful than I give myself credit for.
Currently, I'm tired, sore from the gym, and I think I'm getting sick because some soap went up my nose in the shower and irritated my throat. I just hope I don't get sick sick... like virus sick.
But at least my weekend is just starting so I can rest. I was at work by 5:30 this morning, so I didn't get much sleep. I think I'll make myself sleep in so that hopefully my immune system can buck up.
The first few months in Fayetteville have been great. They've just flown by. I really can't believe the summer is almost over, although I'm happy that it's over half way through just so that the heat will go away.
I enjoy my job. I love what I do. I get to be both creative, technical, and relaxed while feeling like I'm actually making a contribution. When I was thinking about working in the magazine industry, I would occasionally get a little sad because, at times, magazines (especially women's magazines) seem so trivial and pointless. It's just not in my nature to do something that I can't be passionate and behind 100%.
I also love the people I work with. They're funny and nice... like family almost - even if there's occasionally a lot of cynicism in the office.
Jim's still searching for the next step. But I have faith that something will work out. Until then, I'm enjoying spending free time with him.
I'm also in love with my iPhone, but not in the Mac-fan way... in the "this is the tool I've been waiting for to expand my geekdom" way.
The next step is to make more friends and build a social life. But I dunno, I had a hard enough time in college with tons of people my age everywhere. I just have a hard time fitting in for some reason.
Thank God I have Jim.
