Sixty-Ninth Entry

It has been four weeks since I have been working for Tulare County. In these past four weeks, I have learned a lot about working for the government. It is a very slow process with many checks and balances to keep things from going wrong. As a result, I find myself bored half the time. I need to think up ways to keep myself entertained for 9 hours a day (M-Th) and 4 hours on Friday. The projects I am working on are not due until six weeks from now, but they are already almost done. I inherited the projects from an Engineer that recently left on suspicious terms with the bosses...

But enough about my boring work.

Today I got Cable...Digital Cable no less, and am enjoying it. I also got a Cable Modem which is why I am able to write to the 3.5 people that read my blog on a regular basis. As a result of this injection of fresh technology into my life, I feel like I am settling into my life in Tulare very well. I am all set up in my living arrangement here.

It was interesting at first though...

I had to live at my grandparents house for two weeks before I could move into the place that I now call home. At first it was kind of awkward just because they are my grandparents, but I had a nice bed to sleep in and there was never any shortage of food. It was nice to live with them, watch them fight, listen to their stories and just hang out with them. I also got to watch a lot of Portuguese TV on RTPi which they get via satelite. It was interesting. When I needed a break or something from my grandparents house, I would go over to my Aunts house which is across town. We would just hang out and smoke. It was very cool.

I still go every once in a while and visit them. yahafta.

So...guess who is spending the night at my house tonight?? Louis! He left really late from the Bay and caught a ton of traffic on the way to Bakersfield to attend a conference so he couldn't make the 8pm deadline. So he stopped by and we ate Sonic and hung out.

Mylinh called me tonight. (censored) Anyway, just venting.

So yeah...to recap...

Job boring check
Cable Modem check
Digital Cable check
Tulare family check
Louis staying check
Upsetting phone call double check
