party at 24 was fun.

the punch kicked my ass. It was sooooooooo good, and those who had it know what I am talking about. It tasted nice but it was oh so bad. The fruit was delish, vodka soaked and evil. (that may have been my doing.. ) I think it needs to be the official and essential estrip party drink. It went fast..

I'm sure a few pics will surface from someone. Its been awhile since I have taken my camera anywhere with me. I just havent wanted to in quite some time. Now that I have more freedom as to how I spend my free time, I will be getting out to photogragh various things. I should begin looking for another camera, as my current one is unreliable. I am not even sure where to begin looking. I prefer my next camera to have options. I am into photography and would like the picture quality to reflect that. I prefer digitial..

Had a great time talking to quite a few (e:peeps). It is always a good time!!! Had some very interesting conversations with some non epeeps as well. It really was a lot of fun. I can't even describe it. There was just so much going on, so much room to wander around in.. good conversations, gorgeous night, etc.

You just had to be there.


Finally crawled into bed shortly before 7am. shhhhh birdies.

Later on.. Elmwood festival for sustenance. Artichokes smothered in cheese layered ontop of flat bread and a small pile of ribs, (which I have never had) and two bottles of water did the job. Where were the ribs from? fat bobs? fat joes? fat somebodies smoke house... i think.

well, getting ready for bed here... If I have the mental energy, I will curl up in bed to a NON SCHOOL book. seriously, not having any school work is kinda freaking me out at random pioints throughout the day. I get these little mental twitches, thinking that I have to get focused on a project..

then I realize that I don't. very cool..

good night.. hope everyone feels well today and got home safe.

How can you dream about someone in such detail that you don't even really know (well)-- or havent actually met????? (yet?) Its weird.. and it has occured two or three times in that past week. And why??? don't be a stranger-- show your face sometime, yo.


Trip to NYC is going to be postponed until the end of September or sometime in October. Schedules have to coincide and it also has to work around certain paper work aspects of my job. I couldn't see taking a week off from my job a few days after I started it...


I still want to go camping. I love going in the fall.. I should make it happen.

My head hurts. Its very rare that I get a headache. I thinking poking my he'd into ancient walls gave me a tumor. Outside my window I could hear a bunch of rowdy people. I think the crazy AA Meeting people were high this morning. High on what? not surre.. but they were sounding pretty crazy. I'd suggest that maybe they were drunk.. ;)

It feels strange and great to not have any homeweok or other projects to work on this weekend.

I wonder if I will miss it anytime soon?

knowing me-- yeh, probably. I am not making any future school decsions until I have a better understanding of my new job. Then, I am sure I will begin planning something..

In the meantime, I can self learn some computer stuff...


HAs your butt ever 'fallen asleep'?

alright.,. time to get dressed and start the day.

see ya later peeps :)

ps (e:leetee) CFA is the Center for Fine Arts at UBs north campus. I meant to add that to my comment to (e:paul) 's journal

now on to bigger and better things...


so, mark this day, Thursday August 24, 2006.

First day on the brand spankin new job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

very interesting..

There is so much to learn!

I went around and introduced myself to so many people today-- people from different departments that will be part of helping me to fulfill my job duties. Its complex..

Runnin' with the big dogs now..

There is a different dynamic being part of a leadership team. Being involved in long term strategies along with current business is fascinating. Chatting with the CEO was intriguing for reasons I am not quite sure yet.

and a few other encounters that just plain tickled me-- but this is going back a few years... good stuff.

I have received a lot of positive responses from people throughout the organization. It was nice to hear from some people..
I am sure to encounter some negative responses.. it is to be expected with change. People respond positive, negative or neutral. It is normal and usually has little to do with the actual change but how the person perceives change. I am part of that change and people will most likely respond according to how they perceive themselves amongst that change.

I aim to touch base with as many people as I can over the next week or so-- especially those that I sense will be weirded out. I can understand where some of them may be coming from.

But I am here to serve those that are doing their best in their jobs to make a positive differnce in the kiddos lives. I expect to learn a lot about my job from those that are already in the positions that I will be supervising.

I didn't feel freaked out at any point today-- It felt pretty natural-- but give me a moment to think to hard about it and I will feel all sorts of inadequecies-- then will have to quickly talk my self out of those thoughts. I am confident.. i know I will make mistakes.. but there are important lessons and opportunities that come out of that. Besides, the culture is supportive-- I can ask anyone anything-- I am not doing this alone-- and that in itself makes all the uncertainties bearable.

And I can always turn to (e:peeps) with all of your experience-- in life, work, relationships, education-- this is a resourceful group!!!!

so if I freak out.. please be gentle.

Tomorrow is my last class and I am DONE--incase I forgot or anyone else did, hahaha.

btw--
I was asked to write a letter of reccomendation for a professor. Has anyone ever done that??

good night..
