20 weeks? Really? It's not that I haven't had the urge to put something on here. I just didn't want to bore you with the same old crap. With that, some of this is going to be the same old crap. Cut for easy skipping.


Work:
AEGON is ok. Not great, not terrible. Kinda boring at times. I'm awesome at scanning, but I've always been pretty awesome at scanning. Indexing can get boring, but indexing is kinda boring. It's really what you make of it. I can't believe it's already been eight months since I've started. That means that it's only four months until I can transfer. If I want to go to IT or some sort of testing or the Prod. Support division, I'm going to have to break out the books and get to work. Rusty is a gross understatement of my marketable computing skills.

I'm still working part time at Kenwood. As soul-sucking as that place can be, it's fair money and I can work whenever I want. I started doing the Sunday delivery route, something I should have gotten a raise for. I'm part time and part time people don't get yearly raises or anything like that. I got a small one anyway, though. Not one that makes me on par with the other drivers, but it was a raise so I can't complain.

I was looking at the Quality Rater temp position for Google. Sent in my resume for that, but haven't heard anything. The posting had been up for awhile and I'd heard that they usually fill up fast, so I'm not real surprised I haven't heard anything. I would have done this in addition to AEGON and Kenwood. The biggest reason that I wanted that was that I could do it from home. If I were to get a third job, I'd kinda want it to be some sort of legitimate internet thing where I could work from home. I spend enough time driving around.


Car:
That fucking car...

As I said before, I LOVE my car. I've had it for so long, it's crossed into the realm of 'things I can't imagine getting rid of'. I get attached to things I've had for a long time. That doesn't mean, though, that that thing doesn't piss me the hell off sometimes. I have a laundry list of things (expensive things) that I want to do to the car before winter comes. That's why I'm still working two jobs (well, one of the reasons). Problem is, there are other things that keep going wrong with it. Even though I can't imagine getting rid of my car, I can't wait until I can afford a new one (not brand new, but newer. at least one that doesn't break so much.).


Social:
I've been (I think I've been, anyway) a lot more social as of the past several months. I've been doing a lot less sitting around waiting to be invited to things and tried to get things going. I think I'm talking more. Still not a lot, but more. I'm getting a little closer to my close friends. It's nice. I'm still single. Can't really complain, as I'm not doing anything to change that. I'm sure it'll happen when it's supposed to. There's nothing really stopping me from dating (besides a total lack of knowledge of how to go about that), I just don't really have a desire to. Sure, there are some lonely nights, but I can deal with that.


Bowling:
I'M IN A BOWLING LEAGUE AGAIN!! It's been eight years since I've bowled league and it feels GREAT. It's a rec league on Wednesday nights at about 8:30. It's a little late, as I don't get home until about 11:00-11:15. Makes work on Thursdays really long, but it's worth it. I'm starting to get my shot back and getting a lot better at focusing on what I'm doing. It's a great league for me to get back into things. I can also bowl outside of league for $1.75/game now. Lancer isn't too expensive per game, anyway. It's, at most, $3.00/game normally (unlike the $4.50/game it is at times at Westdale). Hopefully I can start bowling in tournaments soon.

Election:
...

I don't want to rant too much about this. I'll be brief.

- I was way pro-Obama before, but I'm not liking him as much lately.
- I'll never vote for McCain.
- Sarah Palin makes me want to cry myself to sleep. I'm not saying I'd kick her out of bed. I'm just saying she's an idiot.
- Joe Biden is also kind of dumb.

That's all.


Hawaii:
The Hawaii trip in June was the best time of my life. Hawaii is amazing. Expensive as hell, but amazing. Before I left I already decided that I was going to move there one day. I don't know how I'd possibly afford it, but the second I could, I'm there. I've never felt more at home anywhere in my entire life than I did in Hawaii. And I've had way too many options.


Toys and necessities:
There's a wonderful list of fun toys that I want that's always dwarfed by the list of things I need (see car section above). I still am dying for a drum set. At AEGON, we have this Bargain Board thing (think craigslist-type thing), where there's this practice set with the noise-dampening heads that are perfect for apartments. Sadly, I do not have the cash. I'm still dying for a Wii (and Guitar Hero IV when it comes out at the end of the month), but I don't have the cash. I'd love some decent furniture so I can get rid of this dorm room look my apartment has. I know if I keep working two jobs, I'll eventually have the money I need to get these fun things. I'm just greedy and wish it were a little sooner rather than later. Maybe if I get a decent transfer next year it'll be a little easier to get some toys and put some money away in savings.


That's all, I think. I told you it was nothing terribly exciting.
