This is why the North can suck. Here’s the deck at my parents house last week:
And this week:
My mom discovered how well Picasa and Thunderbird integrate and has been sending me a bunch of photos, but I had to post those.
On another note though Chie just got her permanent resident card today so we no longer have to worry about our trip to Japan having a sad ending :-)
For better or for worse I resigned from my job yesterday. Alright, for better; I’ll hopefully never quit for something worse obviously. I joined a company of about a dozen people and ended up working at a massive place with tens of thousands of employees, and attached with that was all the expected ramifications. I “toughed it out” for a while (including a brutal commute) but enough is enough. It actually had zero to do with my earlier mention of becoming a team leader. I’ve done that role before and felt comfortable with it at my last job and this job. I’d basically just like to move onto something that engages and interests me on a personal level.
Goddamnit that sounds really formal, but I assure you it’s true. So now Chie and I are gonna extend our early November trip to Japan for at least a few weeks (probably three for me) so that’s pretty cool. This week and weekend I’ve got to dust off my resume and update it - it’s been two years now since I’ve needed it, and I don’t have any plans for the future yet but I’ll be spamming that thing to everywhere I can pretty soon.
Good times!
