My New Old Life

Four months deserves at least a post, in case anyone is actually reading or looking to read this blog.

First, I have no internet access at home, and have been intentionally offline for the last few months, merely lurking on facebook and checking email from work. I kinda like it, although it means less connection with the real world.

Second, I have returned to the 9-5 world. I am officially the office manager for an optometric practice in my hometown, although that really means I'm the only full time employee, and just a glorified receptionist. However, I am taking a course which will, in about a year, certify me as an optometric assistant, meaning I will do the same thing I already do, get paid the same, but have letters after my name, and belong to an association.

Third, I am still chewing over my Master's program - when, where and what to take. Definitely I will take an MBA, but I may take another MA first, because it's faster, cheaper and more fun. Still not sure.

Finally, I have my own little apartment in downtown Guelph, which is great, but eats away my salary pretty quickly. Hopefully it will be ready for an open house soon.

This week's news... I may start a part time position working weekend security for a local club, and I hosted my first dinner party at my new place for my family. Thanks Mom, for basically doing all the cooking because I work so late. Oh, and had a great evening last night in celebration of a friend's b-day. Prime rib dinner, a fine Beaujolais, and showing up at e-Bar dressed to impress. A well rounded night.

That's it!
