Hey all,
I know its been ages since my last post but over all there hasn't been all that much to report.
Work on the Atic comtinues. Its finally really starting to shape up and will be a kick ass workshop for me and maybe a painting studio for BZ. I've been learning a lot about electrical wiring and carpentry which is cool and its nice working with my dad.

The big news is I have an interview tomorow. Pfizer has finally given me the call and this is all about to come together. Which is good because I was starting to get really nervous. I guess thats often just how my life goes. When I've finally decided something isn't going to happen and begin to put my back up plans into action, plan one comes through. I just hope I get in for a real position and don't get the temp position screw job. I've been going through my resume today and trying to get back up to speed on all of the procedures I know, which is a lot, but at least I rememebr most of them.

I got myself (and by me I mean BZ paid for it) a facy new suit over the weekend for the interview. Its the first time I've really gotten a nice suit and had it tailored and all that. Unfortunatly it came with a nearly 700$ price tage, when you finished adding the shirts, ties, shoes, and all that jazz. So I can deffinatly say it will be the last suit I'll be buying for a while. If I get this job though I think its time I grew up some in my dress. Going to start going in business casual, slacks, nice shirts, maybe even some decent shoes. I can still jazz it up for casual fridays, but I want to be taken seriously this time and I think it helps to look the part. I may even de-earing for the interview. I just wish I wasn't so fat right now.

Other that those two things not too much has been going on. I've gotten way too caught up in TV. I blame the cartoon network for putting on a lot of anime. Its cool to check all of this stuff out but its fried my brainfor writing and stuff like that. Instant entertainment is deffinatly not good for you.

I've also seen a lot of films but I'm not going to bore you all with the reviews today.

Two weekends ago I went to my best friend's bachelor party. We played Whirlyball, which is track ball played riding bumper cars. It was a great deal of fun and we may end up going backfor my bachelor party, that or paintball. Somehow we never end up doing any of those typical bachelor deals like strippers or hookers. You'd think with my drive I'd be all over that, but I guess its just not my deal.
Following the whirly ball we went back to Ian's place and played Nintendo Wii. It totally rocks. Wii is unlike other video gaming systems in that you actually move the controller to control your characters, not just puch buttons. It really heightens the experience. I'm sure I'll get one once I'm making money again.

We had game last weekend. Once again my players didn't listen to a word I said in the mission breifing and so far one of them is dead (this wasn't expected as it was going to be his last game anyway as he is moving to Australia) and two more are on the edge of dead. I guess its mostly my fault. This tends to happen when ever I try to create a game in which they will need to do something besides just kill everything they run into. With luck and maybe some help from the gods some of them will survive. I've got a few more standard adventures in mind for the next few missions so they should fair better in them.

The puppy has been well. I finally got a shot of him up on my myspace page so check him out there. He is a cuttie. He is growing fast too. It won't be long before I can't just scoop him up in one hand. Meaning he's going to have to learn to come down the stairs soon. Razul and Griddles have been doign well with him. There were a few nervous days in the beginning but I think they are all becomming fast friends. If only Keebler would get past this biting phase and could just chill out and snuggle with the other two.

Well thats about all the news. I'll post again and let you all know how the interview went. I just hope that A I get the job. and B they dodn't low ball me on the position level and the salary.
