So Christmas was great this year. Had alot of fun doing the shopping, but the credit card bills starting to roll in now. What ya gonna do?

One thing that showed me it would be a good one was the tree. Meg has had a fake tree for awhile, and we’ve been using it for the past four years and I told her I wanted a real one. After some back and forth on the issue, we got one!

But I ended up with some new clothing, Patriots throw blanket, The Hangover BD, District 9 BD, Left 4 Dead 2, Assassin’s Creed 2 (bought with one the gift cards), Borderlands, DJ Hero (don’t laugh, its fun), & Dragon Age: Origins. And this awesome homemade snuggie that’s alot bigger and warmer then the crappy one’s you get on tv. I’m happy.

Meg. Well, two words. Spoiled rotten. I only have to say two of the things she received, laptop and Kindle. Guess being an only child has its advantages. :p

Upcoming: Cake in concert this weekend!
Have a safe and happy New Year!

My main goal since I was originally hired by Cox back in 1999 was to work my way into the engineering dept. Either design or headend. It takes years of experience to do that though. I believe I posted before about applying for the maintence position and was a finalist, but didn’t get it. With Comcast, there’s a dept that would actually put me a step closer to that, the LMC. Its basically a NOC.

After months of watching the internal postings, a position opened up and I applied for it. I had a phone interview this past Tuesday and felt pretty good about it. I then recieved a call Weds night requesting an in person interview this coming Monday. Yay!

Thanksgiving ended up being pretty good this year. I went down to Fry’s and sat there most the night until opening at 5am. Talk about a bunch of asses, people were actually pushing and shoving to get in. The police had a blockade set up and it was kind of funny watching people try to push past them unsuccessfully.

But I got some shopping done, a few things picked up. Went back to pick up Meg so we could hit up a few other stores. After getting back home, fell asleep about noon and woke up at 9pm.

That’s it for now.
