I am a blister about to pop...
Out of the ordinary...
I was up late again last night, but I was totally exhausted. Why? Because it wasn't my usual Friday night out w/ the boys. Instead of going out to some club or some bar, we decided to play ball w/ a couple of V's buddies at around 11-ish. We ended up playing til 2AM...needless to say I was damn tired, PLUS we had to go all the way back to Cerritos afterwards cuz V forgot his shoes for the wedding he was going to the next morning. Not the normal Friday night thang, but it was good, for a few reasons: one being that we all saved on drinks, cover, etc. Another being that we got some extra cardio in our daily routine and lastly, just got to chill.
Tonight, it's back to the regular weekend schedule...me and the guys are gonna go to Nam and Mimi's grad/b-day dinner/partay over at Gotham Hall...where I had my b-day a few months back. Ha ha ha, oddly enough Nammie was just as drunk as I was that night...we always seem to get totally hammered everytime we party together. Last year, it was vegas and she and I arrived much earlier than everyone else, and by the time everyone else got there, we had already gone through half a bottle of bacardi and went sake bombing downstairs(I think we stayed at Bally's)...those were fun times...and just as I did this year, I yakked on my b-day last year...but that time it was out on the strip, and instead of my friends taking pictures, it was tourists...how memorable...
So now I have to kill about 5 1/2 hours before the party and I think I'm a lil too tired to work out, considering the workout I already got not even 24 hours ago...what shall I what shall I what shall I do? Maybe I'll go to the mall and just look at and try on things I wish I had enough money to buy but can't...sheesh being jobless and not getting enough from EDD sucks major donkey doo doo. Speaking of jobless(goodness, what a magnificent segue I set up for myself here), I got the position w/ Alpine as the evaluation engineer. The HR Rep called me yesterday, which is a few days earlier than I had expected, and told me that she had already mailed me the offer letter and I just need to look it over and then sign it and stuff. I'd still have to go through all the extensive background checking(which I hope that whole license suspension crapola doesn't interfere with...and I am totally crossing my fingers and praying about that) but thus far, I have it!!! I'm so excited...I'll actually be doing engineering stuff again. Over the past couple months I have really felt stagnated as far as my career path and jobskills were concerned, but now I get to sharpen those skills that I feel have somewhat dulled since the layoff. And it's only part-time, so not the ideal position I want to be in later on, becuase of the lack of benefits and time off and all that jazz...but at this point in my life, I think it's good. I'll be working, I'll be getting engineering experience, doing something pretty interesting, POSSIBLY becoming a full time engineer, and it gives me the freedom (timewise) I need to take care of pop and London. God works in mysterious ways, but those mysterious ways work for me.
Shoot, maybe I'll just keep writing to waste those 5 + hours...ha ha ha
