My wife is going to fly to California this weekend and stay there for a week. This generally seems crappy to me on all sorts of fronts. Like the front that she will be gone for a long damn time, and I won’t have anything to do…more on that part later. And on the front that she is going there because her brother-in-law is pretty sick and she needs to go help take care of her severely bipolar sister, and on the front that my mother-in-law has no idea how to deal with anyone who is needy in an emotional way besides herself….and even then she is sketchy on how to handle her how emotional desires.
So, my wife is gone, this means extrovert Ben is going to be lonely, and has a Nintendo and TV all to himself. Anyone up for some video game action….or a week long guys night where we mostly watch guy movies and play poker and video games. Or if someone just wanted to come by to hang out that would be cool too.
Seriously, I am going to need to get out of the house for more than work. And I don’t trust myself alone for this long w/ just the internet to keep me company.
Hmm…other than that, I’m going to say I think all-night prayer meetings are only good in 6 month to one year doses for my sleep schedule right now. We’re having our second one in 3 and a half months, and I think I’m going to have to pass. I’m a little upset because I would go if it were all day Saturday (i.e. when all the people who are going Friday night are going to be sleeping), only because I’ve been falling asleep at for work ever since I got back from Illinois, and the last thing I need is more wierdness introduced into my sleep schedule. I would love to pray with people for 8 hours, I just don’t think my body can handle this change in sleep patterns right now. For those of you who don’t have this problem, you are tougher than I, and I salute you.
Hmm, my job has been pretty good lately. Lots of busy work, no time to cold call. I met with a recruiter Wednesday, he seemed to like me, and bought me lunch. He is going to toss my resume into a job at Boston Scientific. It focused on the programing side of manufacturing EE work, and they wanted you to know Visual Basic, which I don’t. But seriously, after you know three or four different languages you can pick them up on the fly. I have for projects in the past, and I have to say with the right manual for that programming language, it is nothing to pick up new ones. So I’m hopeful. That would mean more money, possibly closer to home by 10 minutes (depending on which site it is at), and more angled at my engineering stuff.
I will be sending out an email at some point to the MN people who would be interested in doing fun stuff this week….perhaps this weekend I will see what interest there is for different activities, perhaps not.
