It has been awhile since I posted, so I thought I would get at it for awhile this afternoon while I have a little break. First off, I have been promoted here at the Help Desk, first reported by Rekabutt.com. I am now the student manager here and am anxious to try and put my spin on the Help Desk. I have a number of meetings with my boss this week to help get started and have my first student meetings planned for the end of the week. All of this does mean that Rebekah will not be working for the Help Desk any more as it would be wrong for me to be her boss. So she is moving up to Web Services where she will get to work on different projects which will hopefully help her get a job in the web development field after she graduates. All in all, good news all around there.
Next up, Thanksgiving! Much turkey and cheesy potatoes were eaten, the food was somehow kept down while watching the Bears game and some laziness ensued the rest of the weekend. I did get some X-Mas shopping done while at home and got a nice decoration for my cube at work. If you havenít seen it yet and have the chance, I would highly recommend it. I also got a case of Snapple to help save some money on my daily juice habit. I also got America (The Book), an amusing read. There is a bunch of other little things I got too, but I won't go into all that detail.
Snow, I am tired of it already. Driving back to Chicago last Wednesday, I drove through a nasty snowstorm around the Quad Cities and then after eating lunch in Joliet with Rebekah and her family, I got to drive through the snowstorm up I-55 to I-355 as well. Then this morning I wake up to find an inch or two on my car. I think it is following me or something. Not a good sign for the Winter.
That is most of the major news I can think of now, I hope to have pictures of my Christmas tree up later this week and I have a number of old picture sets that I need to post, including from TheChris's 21st b-day.
