I guess it has - every day I think of coming here, but then life gets into the way.  The permanent job is awesome!  I really found my calling with this job.  I love everything about it.  The opportunity, the work, the people.  Who knew there was so much to learn about locks and door hardware?!  Even computer opportunities are on the horizon.

Life is so busy - I am moving closer to town and closer to my friends.  School is rocking away - I’ll have my associates degree in May-ish.  I need to check my graduation date again.  I think it got moved back due to moving a class back; I can’t remember if the May date was before or after the move.

I have so much to say and so little time.  Work keeps me from the internet during the day which is good since I finally feel I’m earning my paycheck.  But so much just wants to be put into words.  I need to stop DVR’ing so many shows on TV.  It’s my Achilles’ heel.

So much to say and so little time to compose those thoughts…

I’m finally about to go permanent at my new job.  Three months of temp status is rough on the health insurance.  I’m also moving into my own place - again - finally!  Two great new things in one fast-paced month.

Every day I think of new things to say and each day I have a hard time motivating myself to come here and write.  As much as I love to write, the bug has, well, died.  Maybe it crawled up someone’s ass and died.  anyone? haha? *crickets*

I need to spend more time working on a design for this site.  I like how this one is laid out, but I’m not digging all the features.  Guess I’ll spend some time on the internet.

With every class that I take I learn more and more about my fellow students and planet Earth citizens.  I only say Earth because my classmates are from everywhere in the world.

Sometimes I am blown away by their intelligence.  Sometimes I wonder how they manage to breath each day.

Right now we are in a deep discussion of racial tensions and slavery in America.  OMG - what a can of worms.  Fortunately, I have an awesome teacher, professor, whatever that handles the arguments well.
