There's a lot of cheese there

Inadvertently reminded by Daniel, I remembered today that I promised to purchase a celebratory Mars Cheese Castle kringle when he moved in. I have done that now.

Update: Liar - I actually was doing it as I was typing this but had to back out of the order when the shipping total said that they could only ship overnight due to a warm weather alert. I was not going to pay $41 to ship a $15 kringle.

Could I be more bored?

I don't think so. I am sitting here watching the hours tick by on my last day of the crappiest job ever. Well, maybe not more crappy than the portable x-ray place but that was a long time ago. Today at the world's crappiest job I have cut wire - that is what I have done with all of my highly valuable job skills - cut wire, with wire cutters. I know you are impressed. You wish you were me.

Or at least you will when I am rocking my jeans and flip flops sitting in my own office with dogs by my side at the new job. I don't think I will actually bring my dogs in, even though I could, as they are always a distraction. I guess I can give more specifics now as I actually have the job - I will be a project manager for a small design company - 12,000 more a year than I am making now (although it is still 26,000 a year less than I was making before) plus there will be a 5-10,000 bump after the first 90 days. I am happy, I no longer feel like a giant failure - so that is a plus.

This weekend we moved most of daniel's stuff in and found cleaver places to put it. I organized closets and purged clothes and it felt good. The house looks halfway decent right now - it needs more work but we will get there. I can't wait until we can paint - that will make me really happy.

We also watched a really good documentary called Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession about cable's first pay channel. You can only get this movie on Netflix so if you don't have Netflix, you are just SOL.

We laughed a lot this weekend - I don't know why but for some reason, everything daniel said was funny to me. We did get in to one ridiculous fight over doors in my house but even that ended up being funny because I was just being a baby. Sometimes I am just stubborn about nothing - it is really stupid.

Amendment to above writings: I just found out I have to stay at this crappy job one more day because they can't get their paperwork crap together - nice.

Last night we went to the final Kickball game for the Denver Boot. The Hell Marys shut out Danny's Angels and it was pretty boring. I spent most of the time wishing the ice cream truck was there, even though my hands were freezing. Halfway through the game, Mike and Beth appeared out of nowhere and hung with us for a while - well, at least Mike did. As he had just returned from the field a day before, that was a pleasant surprise. He was wearing brand new vans and they were so white, I practically had to wear sunglasses to look at them. I will have to shield my eyes from his shoes until he rolls around in the dirt some more. I am sure that they will be sufficiently filthy by the next time I see him as I don't really see much of mike these days - or at least, comparatively.

Due to the tremendous amount of money that I have put on my credit card in the last 4 months, we have enough frequent flyer miles to visit seattle - we will go sometime soon.
