Sheep Guarding Llama

Time changed last night, hope everyone remembered. Loopy, Min and I did breakfast at the State St. Diner. We did a little driving around trying to take a look for some furniture but we didn’t end up finding anything.

Bob, Min and I finally got around to watching Serving Sara. It wasn’t bad. It is a cute movie. Silly, of course, but it has Bruce Campbell, Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley who are all good so it couldn’t have been too bad. It is a “Matthew Perry” movie, if you will, very similar to Fools Rush In or The Whole Nine Yards. Kind of cute, kind of silly with a little action here and there. Pretty typical. After that, Min and I watched the 1987 classic Maid to Order with Ally Sheedy. Very typical of the time period. It was cute. The movie collection is now up to 579 movies. Only a few more to go to hit the 600 mark.

Other than that, it was a very uneventful day. Tomorrow I have to get out to Lakeville to deal with the house. I am supposed to hear something from the bank on Wednesday. Tuesday I am going to the Oracle Unbreakable Linux show in Rochester all day. That is about the excitement for the week.

Finally a day off. At least a little bit. Min and I went out to brunch at The Tavern at Maxie’s. She got the fritatta and I got the Kale Benedict. It was amazing. After brunch we headed up to the mall and did a little shopping at Target and Borders. We picked up some new movies (I have been hunting for the remaining Disney movies that I don’t have but to no avail) – I picked up Maid to Order, Parent Trap (the DVD version to replace my pan and scan laserdisc version,) Lawrence of Arabia, Paradise Road and Tuck Everlasting (Min really wanted that one – she has been bugging me to get it forever.) I also got some books on Windows 2000 Active Directory that I need to for some study.

We got home from shopping and I did some work for a while. Then Min, Loopy and I watched some of Red Dwarf. Loopy did some drinking, his first real drinking in a while. Min managed to make the perfect bag of microwave popcorn and she was very proud.

Another super busy day. I spent a lot of the morning trying to deal with buying a house. Min, Loop and I are definitely trying to get the townhouse in Geneseo.

I drove up to T-Burg at noon to meet with Steve. We went out for some lunch and took a trip “around the horn” hitting all the bars in town. We got back to the house around 8pm and called Min and she drove on up to T-Burg and we ended up hanging out until almost 2am in the morning. While we were out I managed to get a hold of Acendex and accept the position. I am awaiting the final psych eval now which I should get on Monday. I will probably be starting right around the beginning of May. I will even be getting medical insurance. It will be so nice to finally be getting medical insurance without having to pay full price for it. I am planning on getting an apartment in some area like Ashtabula just to the east of Cleveland along I-90 towards home.

I got out of bed around 9am and spent a lot of the morning putting out fires and setting up a computer for my aunt. It was a crazy morning. I managed to hit the road for Cleveland right about noon.

I went to my interview at 1:00 and was there until 5:00. It went really well and they offered me the position assuming that I could pass a psych evaluation. You can check out where I expect to be working in the near future here, Acendex.

I hit the road back to Ithaca just before 5:00 and spent most of the trip talking on the phone letting everyone know how things had went.

I got up super early this morning and hit the road for Pittsburgh. I met up with my parents in Kanona to exchange some stuff and have some breakfast. I got to Pittsburgh around noon and met John at the diner by Shadyside Hospital. We had a one o’clock meeting at the hospital that we expected to only have last for an hour but it ended up lasting for four hours instead. It was so late by the time that we got out that John and I went down to Walnut St. for some dinner at Cappy’s (where Loopy and I used to go all of the time for sandwiches.) It was about nine o’clock by the time that I finally had a chance to hit the road to head to Canton.

I arrived in Canton close to eleven and visited with my aunt for a couple of hours before going to bed.
