Sleep? Where are you?
Well, I survived the Olympic games. Got all of the gymnastics recorded and am in the process of editing and burning the HD files. The two weeks of late nights left me quite a sleep-deprived little boy, but it was exciting, too. I'm still dragging and feeling like I have yet to catch up on sleep, but that's OK for now. I just keep thinking "maybe tonight I'll go to bed extra early." Never happens.
The job search is on. Well, kinda. I've already been doing some interviewing. As it stands, either I find a job in the city and relocate there for at least the next two years, or I stay with my current company for another year and then consider leaving the area. It appears that my boss is also looking for a new position. As I was chatting with him in his office yesterday, I picked up some buried papers on his desk and it contained handwritten notes regarding positions at other companies. At first I didn't know what it was, but after I read aloud "J.P. Morgan Chase...?" he quickly grabbed it from me and got all embarrassed. Oops. I guess I love to cause trouble. Part of me now wants to beat him in finding a new position. Of course, he doesn't know that I'm also looking, although I'm sure he wouldn't be surprised to find out.
Occasionally I browse through rooms in the city online just to get an idea of what's available. The following ad caught my attention today because it listed the cross streets of the place I moved into 4 years ago when I came to Chicago to look for a job. That's when I moved in with Jeremy. Well... when I opened the link to the ad, my first thought after seeing the pictures was "Ick, not very nice." Then I was like "This place seems kinda familiar." Then I saw the Jesus picture on the wall and my jaw dropped to the floor. That's my old room!! It's pretty funny to see it advertised online, once again in need of a new inhabitant. I only lived there for three short months, but I definitely had a good time and have some good memories. And to think that after all these years and how many different people, Jesus is still keeping a watch over the room. As you can see from the following pic, I had a very close bond with him back then...
Hell, maybe this is my chance to recreate the magic of 4 years ago... ;-)
