Where has my head been

I suppose we haven't had too many outward adventures lately but there have been big things happening.

As per the last post we did go to the Delmarva vs Hickory game. Wouldn't you know it there were a few large pockets of O's fans around the stadium, it was awesome. Maybe they weren't the most exuberant fans but they were there. We did have an issue at the game which I am still trying to get over but I still feel petty about. It was a promotion night which we were unable to get. We were there early but they weren't set up in time. No big deal but when I asked about it their reps acted shady and lied about it. So wasn't thrilled with how it was handled, I would have appreciated an honest own up. But there isn't much to do in this town and I promised to take my Dad to another game since he was unable to make it to this one.But the larger shock was the fact that Hickory actually won the game. This is practically unheard of. Knew it would happen the one time that we weren't rooting for them.

Since then it has mostly been staying in and some more cooking. Times have called for being lazy and we have both also been dealing with allergies/illness lately so that does take a lot out of you. But we have made more plans for later on, a couple of concerts and some celebrations. Celebrating what you ask?

I have been out of work for a few months now and been going bat shit crazy about not working, economic times are tough and the job market in my field is hit and miss so it has been difficult. Well I did find what looks like a fantastic job with a wonderful boss.Of course you never really know until things start up but it is an opportunity to get back to work and move forward. I was offered a position and should start in the next week or so.

However I'm not the only one with big news, this week he also was offered a new job. Unfortunately we will be working conflicting hours so I handled it like tool and ended up being weepy about it. We have been spoiled early on being able to talk through most of the day and then for a while in the evenings before bed. So I felt super selfish about the time we will lose, and whenever there is feeling selfish, guilt will soon follow. But I am lucky enough to have someone that is able to keep me grounded and remind me what a wonderful guy he is and that we will just do what we can to make it work. This is a great chance for him to start somewhere new. There have been things going on at his current job that haven't been so wonderful. Plus he will now have a set schedule, working less hour, and better pay. That's what all new jobs should be able to offer! Very proud of him for taking this chance.

We originally planned to celebrate my job and illness got in the way of that so we are going to celebrate both accomplishments this coming weekend. We have planned a nice dinner at one of those  Brazilian  Rodizio style restaurants. He mentioned a while back wanting to go to a different one but we found a groupon for a similar style.So we jumped on it and hopefully it will be fantastic. Can't say either of us have been to this sort of thing so it will be a new experience for both of us.
