Updates and stuff
Well, lots going on and whatever.
Last Thursday I had a really good interview with the water group in Portland. They were thrilled that I was more interested in the people side of things, like project management rather than design, because it seems like most of the other candidates liked design and they had openings in all 3 divisions. But it doesn't look like I'll take it if I do get the job as a combination of them having a shitty retirement plan coupled with my boyfriend not wanting to make a decision for relocation until fall after we've seen both the Portland and San Diego areas.
Friday I was able to get off work early and went with my boyfriend to go catch X3 at the drafthouse. I'm such a geek, I love all those comic book movies that are coming out now days. Especially the X-men as I always watched that cartoon as a kid. Later that evening I was a bit pissed that my new cell phone didn't come in the mail. I called Fed Ex and they said that they attempted delivery, ya at 8:30 when I was home but the driver listed the package as undeliverable because no one was there to receive it. So I registered my complaint, not that it'll do much good. But feeling helpless that I couldn't get to my phone till Tuesday sucked, and I didn't want to just do nothing.
Saturday was a friend's wedding. So I dropped the puppy at doggie daycare, and enjoyed leisurely getting ready for the trip without having to worry about whining puppies. And the wedding was small and nice. I got to meet some more of my boyfriend's friends from college and they were all really nice and chatty and we had a great time.
Sunday was the hangover. One of the girls the night before had brought a bottle of the cosmopolitan concoction that she had made for the bachelorette party that she had left over. And me not liking beer, ended up drinking most of it. I found out later how that wasn't such a good idea as I deposited it along the road side a couple of places on the drive back to the hotel.
Monday, I took my boyfriend and puppy and went out to watch the Triathlon happening conveniently within walking distance. It was pretty cool and helped solidify my determination to do a tri sometime in the future. I'm also interested in doing adventure races too, as that looks more fun to me than running a marathon. There is an urban adventure race next month that I'm hoping to drag my boyfriend out to compete with me in.
Oh ya, and the weekend before last I took my boyfriend out for paragliding lessons for his birthday. Tons of fun, though me knees are still recovering from all the running around that hill.
