Hello ya'll,
It's been a long time since I've poked my head in here. How is everyone?
Well, I've let things slip, again. But I've gone to the store today and stocked up on fish and chicken and diet dr pepper and mountain dew code red. Tomorrow, I'm back on and doing it strict just like the first time I had success years ago on this thing.
I'm starting my exercise tonight, walking, jogging, and weights. I've not yet checked the scales to see just how bad it is, but I'll post here tomorrow when I get my official starting weight. My new goal is to go strict and lose as much as I can before October 1, my birthday. My next goal will be November 27 or so (Thanksgiving) and then my final goal will be December 25 (Christmas Day, the best damn christmas gift I could give myself).
Oh, last you all knew I was jobless. As of April 25 I was reemployed by a temporary agency doing software testing for a local company. The money sucks, but it is an income and I have parents to help me get by the bills I can afford. I have also learned that my odds are pretty good at getting a full time position with the company. They have openings come up quite often and though I didn't get the last one it was only because I didn't have the accounting background that this gal did. But my lead did mention that I was one of the leading candidates for it, and that I just need to keep proving myself. He also told me that from the start of my time there, he though I wasn't being challenged enough, and this latest round of testing he got me some more challenging and more high profile features to test. That was quite the confidance booster and things have been great there. I'm back in a job I don't hate going to work everyday like you all know I hated my last job (but at least it got me back to Kansas).
I've also started finally some of my big computer projects and I've started some projects I think I'll be able to release to the open source community on my birthday (at least an alpha version) and then release a 1.0 version to the open source community on also December 25 (my Christmas gift to open source). So I'm packing quite a bit of hope into this Christmas. I really want this year of my life to count for something and to be able to reflect on Christmas day this year that the past year was not a total waste. I think so far I'm on the right track.
I have emptied my refridgerator cleaned out all the junk, and I've got my chicken cooked for my lunches. I've also cleaned out my kitchen of all my old crappy utensils and kitchen toys and am making a plan as to what I want to get to replace them. I plan on taking a trip to Bed Bath and Beyond here maybe next weekend to get some cool new kitchen toys back in the kitchen.
Well, anyways, I know it's been a while and I just wanted to pop my head in and say hi. I also want to apologize for my "jerk-ness" in the last few posts before this long absense. I know I posted here one night about certain political topics and was just basically a jerk. I do sincerely apologize for all of that. I'd say I am and have been in a pretty good place for a while and that "jerk-side" of me is buried pretty deep and shouldn't have a chance to appear again for some time to come.
Cheers,
Jason
