Cake or death?

a_bit_of_wit_2The joy of State holidays. Yesterday I had off--that means 3 day weekend for me. Something to do with America's birthday or crap like that. Lots of fireworks. And big money for the hot dog and burger makers.
New job going well, but one of the disadvantages of learning quickly is that you can find yourself bored doing the same task over and over again. So with one person out of the office last Thursday, I got to learn some new things. Several things I love about this office already, the first being no Bible-humpers who are all too ready to ram their God down my throat. Secondly, EVERYONE in that office has a phone on their desk, including me. And all of them have voicemail. So if any phone rings, it can be answered, or not. I am not required to run halfway across the office to answer a ringing phone or get yelled at by my boss for not doing her job. Already, I notice that the atmosphere is MUCH more relaxed. It's a smaller office, and my desk is bigger. Go me. So far, so good.
Also, it is official, we are going to be moving. We're moving into a 2-bedroom apartment just a few minutes away. It's nice. And big. And comparatively speaking, costs about as much as it does to live in my current apartment. We'll be moving August 1...and then immediately be heading to RenFaire. Go figure.
I spent Wednesday night at the bowling alley, staying for dollar night after league play because I had to figure out why I was in a slump these last few weeks. Think I've got it figured out.
So voting has ended on the theme for the next character battle contest, and after all votes were tallied, Silent Hill is going to be the next subject of the contest! Thanks to everyone who voted. Resident Evil came in 2nd, and Metal Gear Solid came in 3rd. Resident Evil and MGS will also be the subjects of the next couple of contests. I don't know in what order, but those will be the next themes after Silent Hill. With that said, look for info about the next contest after the Fantasy World Writer's Contest ends.
Nick, if you read this, let me know what you're doing tomorrow, call me at home: 518-374-0646. So far, my plans for tomorrow involve a day of D&D, so if you feel like stopping by, go ahead.
In 2 weeks, I'll be down in Rockland County again, but only briefly--I'll be heading to Yankee Stadium with April's brother, Ryan. I got him a ticket for a Yankee game (as he's never been to the Stadium) for his birthday, and it'll be for a July 19 game against the A's. So I'll be in Suffern or so that Friday. The end of this month is going to get busy, with packing, another concert at Tanglewood, moving, and the opening weekend of RenFaire. Oy vey. That's ok, though. I have to call up our new landlord-like object and ask if we can begin to move in a few days before August 1st, so we can get this crap into the apartment before heading down for RenFaire. Speaking of, WHO is going to opening weekend? I'm curious. April and I are, of course, but is anyone else?
Well, whatever the case, time for me to hop in the shower and get my day started.
Oh, and to you UK folk: better enjoy the last 2 days of sunshine you'll have until next year's Wimbledon. Get that last-minute tan you've been waiting for.
