Back to Life
Hey everyone!
I don't think anyone really read this blog in the past, but now this page has sat without update for almost two months. I'm almost positive that my reader-base is hovering right around zero. That's okay, though. I really don't think I'm that interesting.
Allow me to bring you [the world] up to speed. Alex and I went to Europe for a month. It was an incredible ride. Words, especially these haphazard weblog words, could never do that trip the tiniest bit of justice. For that reason, I'll not even try to describe it. Suffice it to say, I would do it again in a heartbeat.
More recently, however, I've entered the 'real world'. Yes, that's right, I started work with 'Company B' [see far, far below] on Monday. The first three days were entirely consumed by some of the most redundant and excruciating training exercises ever. Fortunately, class ended with the workday (around 5) and the remainder of the afternoon and evening was spent playing table shuffleboard with my fellow new-hires. There are over sixty of us, all young and freshly graduated. The first day there wasn't unlike the first day of college - everyone's there being extra social, no one has a place to sit at dinner, and strangers talk to one another on the elevator.
By the third day, most of us had gotten to know each other - or if we hadn't, we pretended we did. I think most of us were on information overload by last night. I think that's why several hours of mindless shuffleboard tournaments seemed so appealing.
