Still Alive...Barely. [Aug. 26th, 2007|08:33 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
It’s been a long time since I updated my journal. Time these days is probably the biggest reason for it.

I’m still at my new job in San Ramon working in the IT field. Although I’m doing okay salary wise I’m finding that the 140 mile drive each day in bad traffic, the long hours at work and the stress of the job are really starting to burn me out. I find that when the weekends come I’m exhausted and just don’t feel like doing much. Oh, and I now have a warm appreciation for the crap IT people put up with. ;)

I’m presently working on finding a job closer to home. I don’t see that happening for a while though since Modesto isn’t as technology oriented as the bay area. I’m hopeful that something will become available in time though.

Other than local trips I haven’t gone anywhere in over a year. Again job related but such is life. I’m starting to miss that aspect of my life, that and I haven’t gone home in 2 years. I’m playing with the idea of flying home this fall for a weekend. I’ll have to see how things go.

On the furry side I'm hoping to attend MFF, and I’ll be at FC.

I’ve gone to a few fursuiting gigs. The one I had the most fun at was the fund raiser for Fairyland a few months ago. Ultragor caught a great picture of Waggs dancing there. Drunk happy people can be fun sometimes. ^^

Thankies. ^^

If I do this I'll be flying to Rochester for a day to visit Rory and friends and then mom will pick me up and I'll spend a couple of days at home in Canada.

I'll let you know if I make plans to do this. It has been a long time, yes.

Waggs sees a shiny in front of him...

(Link)

And i'm thinking he's liking that more than he likes the chick. X*D~

You really need to go out on a night on the town to loosen up a bit sometime... it seems like almost nonstop work and not having much of a social life as of late is getting you a little bit in the dumps (and probably boring you to tears as well).

Oh, and did he leave you hanging with the one with no gas yet? ;*)~

And... well, OMG you posted again! X*D~

Yea, I'm a raccoon in disguise. Throws folks off when I'm trying to steal their shinies. hehe

Not so much in the dumps, just tired all the time.

Yea. Just filling my quota. Next post in another 4 months. Just kidding. ;)

It's so good to hear from you again and that's a very cute picture :). I hear you about traffic and stress on the job. Getting around Toronto is a little slower with all street car track reconstruction that the TTC is doing.

Hopefully I'll see you at FC in 2009.

Take care. *hugs*
