How did you manage that?
I spent the whole new years weekend in Carson City (Nevada). I gambled, won. Gambled, lost. Gambled some more, lost some more. Had to cease and desist from the slot machines. (I'm a slot machine junkie.) Played the Star Wars one again, which is my favorite.
Wal-Mart may have one tonight.
Oh, thanks. I was just having the plate removed from my ankle. I went in Wednesday morning and was home that afternoon. They move quick these days :) The surgery itself took less than an hour.
Motorcycles are wonderful things until you realize there is nothing between you and the ground.
How was your New Years?
Well, I got a call from an old employer I hadn't heard from for the last year and a half. Calls me up right before Christmas and offers me a job, right over the phone, just like that. Well, I hemmed and hawed cause I was already employed. I made really good money where I was at now, but the job was growing increasingly unstable. Well, this morning I go in to the office and I find out they made some more changes to my position and postponed something they were gonna do that they were promising since August. Well, that did it. I called my old employer back and told them I want the job, and it was settled. So at about 11:30am this morning, I told my supervisor I was giving my notice…and today is my last day. Here’s my badge, here’s my laptop. Good luck to ya. I’m outta here.
So my new job starts the following week, so I get all of next week to play and sleep and be merry and get my life back once more.
YIPPPEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
How's the Alaskan life going for ya?
I'm glad to hear that you're doing well. When will you be fully functional again?
My last name has evolved also. A lot of people have trouble with mine too.
Are you of Russian, German, or Other heritage?
I apologize if I am being nosy.
That sounds very exciting. I'm glad everything worked out for you :)
I hope 2007 has been better to you so far.
I can kinda walk now. The pain is only because of the staples, not the ankle. And I go back in a little over a week to get the staples out so I hope my ankle will be better than it had been.
Congrats Max! Glad to hear it.
Hey Dmitry!
Read your profile. Is that a picture of you? (nice!) I used to live down the street from a Denver Bronco (when I lived in Denver), back in 1977. Otis Armstrong. Ever heard of him? I used to play with his daughter when I was a kid.
It's fine :) My name is German. My mom's brother still spells it wrong and my parents have been married since 1978.
Thanks! I'll try to find some more photos and neat links tomorrow. I was in a rush, since I've started working.
I really need to put my photos of the drive here online... one o' these days!
Yes that is me. I have been a Broncos fan since birth, I remember Otis Armstrong the running back, I loved him and Rick Upchurch. I am jealous of you. :)
I'm glad to see that things are going so well in Alaska for you these days. I'm really glad that I didn't set you up with my employer. My pension issue still hasn't been resolved, and I'm mad enough that I'm starting to work on my resume.
Hi Kate! Thanks!
How was your New Years? Did you say your plate is coming out? How long did you have it in?
My brother just broke his left foot two days ago. Rolled my dad's ATV over, and stuck his foot out to stop it...as an automatic reaction. Broke it in three places and got all kinds of metal drilled in him as of last night. The doctor performed surgery in the middle of the night.
When do you start training for the marathon again?
