"The Lord loves a workin man, don't trust whitey, see a doctor and get rid of it...Thanks Dad!"
Would you like fries with that?
Well, I've had a lot of clamoring for more updates since the job started. The office is real nice, and so far everyone there seems pretty cool. I am the only guy in our department with hair, which I find amusing. The commute every morning is grueling and even worse in the afternoons, but that will get better as there is a vanpool that leaves from nearby and they just happen to have an opening, so I'll be checking that out. My desk sits next to a window, and my view is nice and unobstructed to the Astrodome and Reliant Stadium about a mile or so away. All in all, I'm liking what I've seen so far. I'm still 'training' but from what I've seen of that, I should be able to handle things easily.
Everyone jump the queen!
One of the cool things about this job is that the guy who told me about it is not only a good friend, but a decent chess player as well. We played during lunch the other day and I managed to beat him, but it was a very close game. I wouldn't say either of us are masters or anything, but we do enjoy a good game of chess. Over the time I've known him, we've gone back and forth in our chess battles, but I can't really remember who is ahead any more. It doesn't matter anyway, because it's all in good fun.
And so on...
Next week is spring break, so I don't have school (thank God), so maybe I can update a bit more. For now, it's off to grab some dinner and watch this week's episode of Carnivale...
