Progress!

Friday, February 24th, 2006

So… I’m striking secret resolution #1 (switch jobs) from the record. This is due in no small part to a healthy raise, good managers, and a long lunch with the company owner today. I’m happy with things. I think I’ll buy a place and move out soon. Tomorrow I begin flight training! N96507 out of […]

Quick update

Airbags… good stuff. Gave the Cadillac away, and the next day the minivan got totalled in a 5 car accident on 94W involving a semi. Dad was driving, but unharmed aside from an airbag punch to the face. Airbags are good. I got a fat raise, but things are seriously looking more dismal than ever. […]

I told myself that I’d start using my domain before the year’s end. What better day to begin than birthday #24? I hope that, by writing consistent entries, I will be able to restore my rapidly deteriorating writing skills to their former glory. Significant accomplishments since my last birthday: Made some new friends Purchased my […]
