Rough day at the office

We just went through another round of layoffs, not 4 months after our first round that was supposed to be a deep enough cut that we would be fine for a while. Well, it wasn't fine obviously. They ramped us up to let us know it was coming and how swift it was going to be.

Needless to say, I have joined the ranks of the unemployed! Sure I get a paycheck till the end of July, but I don't have to do anything to receive it. I guess this is the vacation that I always wanted, just at the wrong time. =)

Maybe I can actually put more posts on the blog now!

To all the moms out there...

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Yes it has been a while

Sorry, I've been just a tad bit busy with my last few classes and have let this slip, yet again.

Well, I've got just over 1,000 miles on the bike, and I'm still loving it. I've got one class left which will be over on June 7th (36 days left!). And I still have a job!

We went to Myrtle Beach for our annual spring break trip and had a blast. We went with our neighbors this time just because and it was a great time. Hung out at Barefoot Landing before the fires, went to Broadway on the Boardwalk, ate at Planet Hollyood, and took in a show at Dixie Stampede. Fun times, and each year it's more fun than the last.

Here recently (don't remember when) I received a gift from a friend who moved up from Charlotte. I used to have a L-Desk, but when we moved I was forced to chop it up to make it fit in an area that I could use. After I butchered it, the decision to change the layout happened which meant that I could have kept my desk in it's original state, but it was too late by that time. Well, I now have a new to me desk, with a few other new pieces for the computer to go along with it!

I now have room to put crap all over the place again! Plus with no hutch, I have finally been allowed to put something of mine up on the wall! On the right is my Darth Vader Photomosaic that I've had for I don't know how long. We just got it framed and hung up now that there is nothing in the way to block it. At the same time, we hung the smaller picture on the left that was given to me as a birthday present last year which has me driving my old WRX out on VIR for my final event in that car. Right in the middle is a new monitor. I had a 19" flat panel that I had on loan from the office for a while and finally bought me my own. That's a 22" wide screen flat panel that I bought on sale from Dell. To either side of the monitor and down below next to the tower is a new 2.1 speaker set up that I replaced my outdated set with.

I've done a fairly decent job keeping it cleaned up, but it's still a work in progress.

Oh, and the beanie baby bears on the far left are Jen's. =)
