Just popping in

First, might I just say that coming to this public computer is becoming more and more enjoyable? I like to play this game called "what was the last the person before me copy and pasted". So far I haven't found anything too noteworthy, but the anticipation of some treasure is too irresistable. That and the Dean Martin and other classical music they always have playing in the lobby is pretty solid too.

Ok so anyway, I had my first day of work today. I'm still fried because I didn't really sleep last night. I don't know why, but my body absolutely didn't want to fall asleep. I didn't think I was nervous or anything, but the best I could do was watch the clock tick past 4 am, then 5, then 6, then I got fed up and just got out of bed to get ready. That, and traffic in Seattle is crazy. On the way home, I did a pretty good job reversing my directions until I decided to get on I-5 North instead of South and that was a bummer. Oh well.

Work was the standard fair of "these are your health care options" and "DON'T GIVE AWAY YOUR PASSWORDS" orientation business. The other parts were the more Microsoft specific things and that was pretty exciting. I met a lot of cool people who were from different walks and positions in their lives. All in all, it was a cool day, but 'veddy veddy' long.

I'll have more interesting things to say tomorrow. I think.

Anyway, I decided to treat myself to a real dinner tonight. The past few days I have been sticking to sandwiches. I bought some tomatoes, bread, salami, prosciutto, mozarella cheese, and some various items I haven't been using. Same thing. Lunch and dinner (I rarely eat breakfast).

So tonight I went to a sushi place in the courtyard of Harbor Steps because I saw a sign that said "HAPPY HOUR." I'm pretty sure that's Japanese for dinner salvation because I loved it. I had a bowl of miso soup, a nice salad, and a roll each of salmon and tuna. All for about $10. I'd say that's a pretty good deal regardless, but an amazing deal compared to what I've seen in Seattle so far. I'll probably be dropping by there more often.

Ok that's all I have. I'm going to see if Ice Truckers is on or something because I haven't had much to do lately other than watching geeky television shows. Or I'll read. I just finished a book called "Habitudes" by Dr. Tim Elmore. It was a book about leadership but I don't see why this book could be applied to anybody wanting to manage their lives/time/I-don't-know-what-word-to-use more effetively.

Perhaps I'll provide a better explanation on my take of the book some other time. I need to VEEEEGGGG right now.

Take care everybody!
