Well, my daughter and I have finally completed our move to the beach. We now live, quite literally, within walking distance of the water. We love it! The weather is divine, the neighborhood, great. It's wonderful. Plus, it's closer to my boy toy, so I don't have to go as long without sex!

Only bad thing is that the commute is now longer, but I figure, look what I get to come home to! Woohoo!

SECOND UPDATE

...so now the scientist is under investigation of fraud. Well, my dog's claim to fame is shot...

UPDATE

SNUPPY NAMED INVENTION OF THE YEAR!!!

Well, actually, the process by which he was formed was named invention of the year. I'm am continually amazed...

**********************************

Well, I made it thru my first week at my new job, and it's been great. I'm already pretty much up to speed on the forecasting/planning side of things, now I need to get up to speed with the buying side.

So while my new job is great, the rest of my life still sucks. Fortunately, one part of the problem has been my horrid lack of money, which will be rectified soon with a much larger paycheck. But not for another two weeks. So I'm still struggling til then.

Well, I'm down to the home stretch, this is my last week at this job. Good. I need something new. I'm so ever-loving BORED with my life right now, I just want to scream. Even all my knitting is boring. The dogs are boring. Men are boring. Ugh.

Got out of this stinking hell hole I've called work for 3 and a half years. Yes, I got a new job! Yippee! It's not in the area of computers like I thought it would be, but in the Crafts industry as a buyer/planner, which is more of what I wanted to do so many years ago when I turned to computers as something ELSE I could learn to do.

My job sucks. It just sucks. I try to work with these people and I step into crap every where I go. Today, I was trying to run a very simple query, linking to a table in another database, only to find out that said table has a two fields in it that have been designated as NUMBERS when they are obviously LABELS therefore TEXT fields. I argue with these dimwits on what a NUMBER field is, but to no avail. I ask them simply, would you add store # 102 to store # 9 to get store # 111? No, you wo

Yesterday marked a major anniversary for me. It was my forth month of sobriety, and my license is officially no longer restricted. I can drive where ever I want now...hmm...where's a good place to drive to?

In addition, this time last year, I was on my first of two broken arms, due to alcohol related falls. This year, no alcohol, so no breaks, at least so far. I'm keeping my lucky charm around just in case.

Wow. Today is...hold on, let me get a calendar...90 plus 11 equals 101 days sober. Now that's an accomplishment. It's been hard at times, but with a second job, I've been keeping busy. It's in retail, so I get to close on Friday and Saturday nights. But what the hell, I didn't have a social life anyway, so I can take those days. Let the 20-somethings have the night off to go party.

Okay, so now I'm past Day 60. Well, whoop-dee-flipping-doo. I mean it's all good, but I'm SSSOOO bored. Since all my local friends are drinking buddies, I don't see them much anymore. My stalkee isn't talking to me AGAIN...(does he REALLY think I'm heading to Chicago to track him down? WTF?) It's all in good fun, after all. You're not THAT much of a good thing, dude...

Well, I've managed to make it to day 25 today. Amazing, but better. Old friends are talking to me again. Course it helps that I'm not calling at 3am their time (1am mine) on a weekday after consuming half a bottle of JD! Anybody would get tired of that.

It's amazing...Day 8 and I fell great! (yikes, that rhymes!) I really should have done this quite some time ago. Maybe some of the relationships I've had in the past (daughter, ex-husband, friends, etc. -- uh...you know who you are...) would have been better. But I do feel clear headed now, and maybe, just maybe, I'll really start working on brushing up my coding skills for once.
