Observations from this week and before...

Just a few things about this week and before this week.

We received a new person at work that will definitely change the way that things are done.  I have already encountered a little bit of this and it has already brought the thoughts of self doubt and uncertainty to my work.  Now the difference between this time and a previous time would be that I know my abilities, I know my short comings, I know what I need to do, I know that it will be ok.  This will be a good change, I don't need anything to get me through it.

My iBook G4 has reached the limits of current technology and is being bogged down by the internet, as well as, the abilities and demands of the current software.  Currently I am on the search for a new Notebook computer and all possibilities are on the table.  I love the Macs and the simplicity of the OS, yet the price of the actual machine that is associated with it is a game changer.  In the past I would have quickly went to Apple got some line of credit love and moved forward.  With the current economic climate in the country I don't have the confidence to move into a debtor situation, so long way to say I'm paying cash for my next computer.  Quite possible I may utter the phrase again, "Dude, I got a Dell."  I'm converting critical documents to Office as we speak, just in case that is the decision I go with.

My music has broadened to more of an eclectic mix than before.  I had Jay Z, Muse, Kermit Ruffins, Ciaran Wynne, U2 and Pearl Jam on the same play list.  

I have a tan.  A light one, yet a noticeable tan on my body now.  It was earned, the hour a day I have spent at the pool has payed off and I am excited to see if this has payed off in my continual work to lose weight to my ideal weight.  

I am over hot dogs.  Just saying.

I was able to win 2nd row seats to a minor league game.  I got into the game on a promotion for 4 complimentary tickets due to changing over from my TxTag to an NTTA Toll Tag.  Memo:  I never win anything.  That being said I have a text in to the Astros to win tickets to the Dodgers game and a meet and greet with Hall of Fame broadcaster Milo Hamilton.  Wish me luck.  

Chuy's opened a new restaurant 3 exits north of me.  Yeah, I'm pretty stoked.

I think that is it for now.  I'll post again when I find something a little more interesting.
