Mixed Emotions
October 20, 2006
I haven’t been posting much lately. Alot of things have been happening, some bad and some good. First we are going to start with the good parts.
Our department at work have been picked up as full time employees now and are going to be no longer transitional employees. I used to work for the former Adelphia Cable company. We had been bought out by Comcast and Time Warner Cable last year and when the sale went final all of the people my department were only transitional employees for up to 6 months. Well that changed and now I do not have to worry about finding a new job anymore. I am very grateful for this opportunity to work with a really awesome company.
Because of now being a full time employee. I been in North Carolina for the past couple of days as part of a two week crash course in the new stuff we are going to be supporting at work. I got a shiny new work laptop out of the deal (fully loaded Dell Latitude D620) and a chance to meet some really awesome people down here on the Charlotte campus.
My buddy Nick tied the knot recently with his awesome wife Ashley. They got married down in Vegas and we were able to watch the wedding through a webcast (how geeky is that?).
On the other hand things have been not so great at home.
We got hit with that mess of a storm last week which took out our power till Tuesday evening. We basically had to evac out to Amanda’s parents with all our critters. Plus we lost everything that was in the fridge and freezer. When I get back home we have to do a lot of grocery shopping, and transport all the animals back up to the apartment now that the power is back up online.
In addition to that things are not going so well with my family right now and will practically be changed forever. I really don’t want to get into it too much, but things are not looking good. Amanda has been keeping things together on top of work/school and getting people the help they needed while trying to juggle everything else. I feel absolutely horrible that I am down here doing the work thing while she is back home cleaning up the mess. I really wish I could have been there to help out.
This weekend is going to be busy with getting the fridge restocked, getting the animals back home, and trying to get the family thing straightened out. Then it is back down to NC for another week of training.
