So I’m moving, but I don’t know where yet…

I have no time lately, and probably won’t for a while here.

Lucie knocked all her food out of her dish earlier today. She fell on it when she tried to jump to my bathroom counter and didn’t make it.

Well it's been a while since I posted here. The florida pictures I promised, I posted on Facebook.

I'm sitting in the Bellingham airport waiting for my flight to Vegas to board. I should have left yesterday but had to go to my Pre-Calculus for Management class last night. Oh well, I'll be back in Vegas August 24 to 27 where I will be watching UFC 74 live!

I did end up quitting EB Games and going to work for Starbucks. My last day at Starbucks is august 12. Starbucks and me just weren't compatible.

Oh well, life goes on…

Two years have gone by pretty quickly. I’m finally done Financial Management. I had my last exam yesterday. In the fall I’ll be starting the Bachelors of Business Administration degree programs. This morning I had a job interview for a new part-time job (yes, it is possible that after almost 6 years I could be leaving EB…).

My life will be very different next month.

Tomorrow morning (very early), I’ll be off to Miami, Florida (Technically I’m staying in Hollywood, FL)… I’m bringing my camera; let’s see how many pictures I actually take. Any pictures I do take will be posted in the photo gallery here and probably on my Facebook profile.

Who knows, maybe I’ll even do a post or two from down there…

Sometimes the smallest little things can set me off and fill me with anxiety.

I'll analyze whatever it is, and 99 times out of 100 it's something relatively meaningless. I know it doesn't matter but it still causes me to worry incessantly.

I went and saw Grindhouse today. I sat through all 3 hours 11 minutes. It was entertaining, but by no measure a good movie. Quentin Tarantino's segment, Death Proof seemed to lack a coherent plot. The fake trailers were pretty cool though. Especially Thanksgiving.

I'm still working at EB Games, I've been trying to get a job working for the same company my old manager does, but so far nothing’s come through…

I’m here in Seaside, OR at the Shilo Inn Suites…

Sunny and 15 degrees today.

Going back home on Wednesday…

From Wil Wheaton:

You’re not your job, whatever you determine it is at the moment: (Mother, Father, Husband, Wife, Crazy Cat Lady, Tony Orlando and Dawn Fan Club President, Cardboard Box Spaceship Designer, etc.) When you take care of yourself, and give yourself something that is just for you (have I made that clear?) you’ll figure out rather quickly who you are and how you define yourself, because you get to know yourself again.

I have to say sitting here right now, I love that quote…

I was bored and decided to count the number of managers I've worked for during my five plus years working for EB Games. I came up with ten (I didn't count anyone I worked with for less than a month, and repeaters only got counted once). Ten over five years is a lot, especially since I was acting manager for extended periods of time.

The list of EB Games manager's I've worked with in chronological order:
Brendan Bourque
Sarah McLeod
Demian Lord
Jeremy Peters
Russell McPherson
Jeff Burns
Danielle Feteke
Al Woolverton
Heather Huff
Dan Deresh
and number 11 should be coming soon…
