I've been pretty awol from internetland for the past month. I was in Maryland and Virginia visiting the family over Thanksgiving, and then on December 1, I started training for my new job. The training is two weeks of insanity involving early mornings and more memorization than is humanly possible. Also, I had the good fortune of getting a nasty sinus infection smack in the middle of it. I survived it all, passed the training and only had...two or three nervous breakdowns.
Anyway, the job is selling complete home water treatment systems. Since the water is godawful in Austin, they sell quite well, and I've already made multiple sales in the week and a half I've been working. Everyone I work with is awesome, and the job pays insanely well if you can sell. Hopefully, this will be the way I can finally pay off all my bills and get a nice house.
I spent Christmas in Houston with
duia's family. It was a blast even though I got massively sick on Christmas eve with an even worse sinus infection that I'm JUST starting to get over. Ugh. I really really hate being sick.
On the day after Christmas my dad flew in from Maryland and stayed for four days. I showed him a little bit of Austin, and he got to meet my girls so all was wonderful there. I wish he could have stayed longer.
New Year's Eve was pretty low key. The girls and I ended up heading to Logan's place and just chilling out and drinking champagne. Not a bad way to ring in 2010.
I really can't believe that it's actually 2010. A new year, a new DECADE, hopefully this one is going to be a lot better than the last few.
Happy New Year everyone!
