Working 9 to 5.. (Item 42)

I found a full time permanent job. Started as temp at the end of July and they offered me a position and I started October 14th. :) So far, I'm really happy and I think I found a good fit and great place to work.

Back in business!

I found a copy of my list! Woot! I've made some changes to the list based on some of the drastic changes that have happened in my life in the last few months.

I'm a nub..

and completely lost my text edits when I changed the layout and I didn't save a back up copy.

Sigh

And did I keep a hard copy of the list? Noooo. It's on my desk top which is not functional at the moment and I don't have copy on my laptop.

I'm going to cry.

Nashville Trip (Item 53)

I went to Nashville this weekend for the Cobra BBQ they traditionally have over Memorial day weekend. I met Flea and few other new folks. They were all great. Don't know if I'd do it again. The extra folks were a bit annoying.
