STARCRAFT 2!!!!!
Oh my gosh... I can't believe I did not write about this when I first saw it about 2 3 days ago.
It seems that after close to a decade of playing my favorite game.... Starcraft 2 is finally coming out!!!!!
Day 5...
Well... today concludes my First week at Sparling. Thing are going pretty well. I am very very excited about all my potential work. The type of work is different from the PUD work or the work I had from EP, but it is good stuff.
So... Today I am going to San Fran. Yep pretty exciting.... yeah.. because I get a chance to meet my parents there and also meet some friends. I am very very excited.
Finally... Today is jeans day!!!... yeah.... Jeans!!!
Professional Picture
Boy... I got my professional picture taken today. A professional profile picture is required for everyone in the company. It is interesting.
Ok... just for a status update. Mintrix.net is back and operational.... however... it is still on the old server. My attempt of switching over to the new unix based server did not go entirely as planned. I ran in to some permissions problems. So everything is back on my old server. It is making alot of noises.. but that's fine.... It will give me some time to play with the new box until I get it to the way I want it.
So ... Today will be day 4 of my new job with Sparling. So far it has been pretty good. I have few projects lined up and well... things will start to get interesting. Oh today is also my professional photos day... so I will have to wear something nice ;)
So... I am now in my new apartment in Lynnwood, WA. The place is alot smaller then my old place and alot more expensive. I don't think all my stuff will fit... so at sometime in the near future I will have to hit the craigslist and sell some of my stuff. Way too much junk.
So anyway, I want to talk about my Friday and Saturday... just a quick recap... :D
Hummm ... let me see
So Friday was my last day at Grant County PUD. It was as really surreal experience. I could not believe that I was leaving this beautiful little town called Ephrata. I remember it seems just like yesterday that I was moving to the small town Ephrata. So... the work day went really fast and uneventful... spending sometime saying good bye to all my good friends and co-workers. It was a closing of a chapter of my life.
So the fun really starts after work. The movers suppose to meet me in the afternoon and pack and load all my stuff. However, they called and said that they will be a little bit late. so I thought that's fine... that will give me some time to clean up and get ready for the move. So... the waiting begins....
It was not until 7 - 7:30pm before the movers shows up... so I figure... no biggie, they are professionals, they will get this place pack and loaded in a few hours.... and 7 hours later, they finally loaded everything.... I could not believe all the crap I have and they also were very inefficient in packing all my stuff. So after the movers left, I was left with an empty apartment to clean up. I cleaned for an hour or so and finally I decided to go to bed. So since they collected all my furniture, I did not have a bed to sleep in. So I took a quick nap and in the car and around 5:30 I got up again and started to clean.
Around 7:00am, I was still not finish, so I got my friend Ted a call and ask for help. We cleaned my place until the landlord showed up around 8. The landlord looked around and said... so you guys still need to clean up huh? you want us to come back? At that time,I was pretty much done... nope... don't really care... so.. we agreed to get a professional cleaner and take the cost out of the deposits.
Around 8:30am, I took my friend Ted to Country Cafe for some wonder breakfast. Around 9:30, I headed out for Seattle. Good by Ephrata.
I got to Lynnwood, around 1:00 and to in to my new apartment. The movers called and said they are running late and should be here around 2:00pm or so. I should have know... they did not show up until 3:00. They promised that it will be a fast move so I can get out and get going to my Mariner Yankee's game. After 2 and half hours ... they finally got everything in to my small apartment and I start to drive toward Downtown Seattle for the game.
I forgot how bad big town traffic were.... yep needless to say.. I spend around 40mins going 20 miles... not too bad.. but nothing like the country side.
The game was fun... Mariners lost... but a baseball game is fun no matter who wins.
So ... today? Well... Maybe church and then unpack and wait for the cable guy... yep... I am getting my internet today :D
What will happen to Mintrix.net??
Well... with me moving in a few days... I really don't know what will happen to mintrix.net. The domain will still be mine... but the server will be down until I get internet service back up in Seattle. All email to mintrix.net will be forwarded. and well... I guess we will see.... I will probably setup a temperary website just like what I did during the last move. so .... stay tuned!
Last week in Ephrata
Well... it seems just like Yesterday I was writing about leaving Houston for something wonderful... and now it is 4 years later and I am leaving Ephrata. So much the same and so much different. So this week is my last week working for GCPUD. There are still lots of work to do, loose ends to wrap up. I am sure it will be a fast and exciting week.
One week and counting...
It is very exciting... yesterday in the mail... I recieved my work email and my new work phone number. No... I am not going to post it here... I am getting a little bit more paranoid because of my information warfare class.. ha ha ha. But anyways... One week from today... it will be my last day with Grant County PUD. Wow... it is amazing, isn't it? Today has been kind of interesting... the telecom department had lunch with the new AGM. It is interesting to hear his vision for the District. It is sad to leave... but all things change and we must all look forward and see what is ahead.
Spiderman 3
Spiderman 3 was fun last night... bunch of us from work all got together and went to watch the movie. It ws the first time that I went to a midnight showing here in Ephrata. It's pretty cool. Sigh... I will miss the Lee theater.
5 years of Blog!!!
I can't believe this... my blog is almost 5 years old. WOW!!! on the 13th of May... my blog will be Five!!!! That is amazing!!! I'm moving on that day but ... gosh ... I probably should do something to celebrate!!!
Wow a dream about the past
I had an interesting dream last night. I was in my childhood apartment in Lafayette, LA. I was in the old apartment in Cajun Village. I was there and my parents were there and my sister was the my childhood friend Brad was there visiting... but we were all grown up. Sort of...
it was strange.... but really relaxing and interesting.... I enjoyed it....
