Ups and Downs

The past week has come and gone in blogsville and there's some new and a whole lot less. On Thursday, I dropped my sister-in-law off at the Oakland Airport for her month-and-a-half venture to Central America. (Good news: She made it there safely and is happy. Better news: The apartment is mine again and my sanity has returned -- ok it wasn't thaaat bad.)

This week also had its share of embarrassment and learned lessons. I learned that either A) My blog is a top hitter on Google searches or more likely B) I now work for a major player and I need to think a little bit more before I write on this blog. So from now on, my employer will now be known as "The Company". It's like when Prince was known as The Artist formerly known as Prince, well now I work for The Company formerly known as .......

So yeah, a little talking to, a lesson learned, and a bit of embarrassment as a new worker. I don't think it will be too big of a deal as I changed some things (hence the editor's note), but I don't want to do anything that would seem disrespectful to the company. Especially because I am totally loving the gig. I may just be eight weeks in, but I really look forward to going to work each day and the work that we are doing is phenomenal. Some of the most recent stuff put out is just awesome. I also finally feel like I connecting with he different artists and making some friends. The first few weeks were definitely overwhelming, but now I am feeling a lot more locked in and know what is going on, what needs to happen, and feel like I can speak with authority. I'm hoping they feel the same way because the project that I'm on right now is just for a few more weeks and then.....well I don't know what right now. That is to be seen in the upcoming weeks.

It's also the start of the countdown to the visit by the parents. At the end of this month in just two weeks, I will have my parents out here for the first time. With my above situation, I hope I will be working, but should things change at least it will be timed well. That week will also be the next visit from Mrs. Nice Gal, so I have indeed been counting down the moments till I see her again. Hopefully at that time I will have something more long term work wise to talk about and then we can be reunited on a more permanent basis.

And that's about it. Still checking out a bunch of films and am totally amped for The Dark Knight this weekend. Also looking forward to the MLB All Star Game at Yankee Stadium tomorrow. It may actually be the best baseball played at the stadium all season....which is very very sad, and I am still hurting with Sox on top and the Yanks in the third. Ugh.....still have half a season, still have half a season.

Alright. Rock on, keep cool, and I will blog with you later. See ya.
