Well, the rental house does seem more like home now, although none of the furniture is mine. I have come to know Blacksburg pretty well. Not a real task, the town is not all that large. The people here are friendly enough. It does seem a little cult like, with all the Hokie loyalty. i don't mind it but I have not seen anything resembling this kind of obsession with the school and symbol, ever. And I went to the U of Illinois. I thought the Illini tribe was bad, they weren't anything.
I have been working here for almost two months now and I have not done much. Not much to do, my boss kind of just does his thing and never ever gives me any info. He runs off to do his own thing and keeps everyone at arms length. I also got a taste of the bureaucracy here. A bureaucracy you ask, but isn't this a startup? Hence my horror and dismay. Startups have no business having a bureaucracy. OY vay.
Mom just got back Sunday from her two weeks in Florida, she seemed to have enjoyed herself, it is always good to be home though. I guess I am too used to not being home because I found myslef enjoying the porch on this house, it overlooks the forest and it is just beautiful here, with the sunlight shining through the leaves and tree branches and the slight woodsy smell out there. Very relaxing, I am supposed to be off looking for housing or something like that, I am just enjoying life and reading. Always lots of reading and commencement of projects, lord knows when I will finish these projects.
Went on my yearly trek to the Industry Application Society Meetings. It was great. My last year as committee chair, the meeting went well and we got a lot done. Spent way too much time in meetings though. This ECCE meeting is going toend up killing me I think.
