I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but there is something oddly and horrifyingly addicting about studying. It's one of the most stressful things I've ever done, but there is something addicting about it. That scares me.
Anyhow, work was good. I finished up the bulk of the project I've been working on. At this point all that's left is adding any new entries and running various data queries to get necessary information. Then printing it off and getting it to the right people!
I met with the president this afternoon. He likes to meet all of the new employees and interns. I really enjoyed meeting with him. He is incredibly approachable and personable... and I'm not just saying that because the entire internet can read this. He asked some questions about what I thought of Central and what I had learned about myself during my time. He also wanted to know about my schooling and such. I knew we'd get along well when he looked at me and said (not verbatim) "You know, I find it really fascinating to consider all the choices the three of us (him, Jeff, and me) made that led us to this exact spot. All of the times each of us said 'yes,' 'no,' or 'maybe.' And any different choice at any one of those places could have resulted in an entirely different outcome. Think of how many outcomes there are... and just how outstanding it is that we can all be meeting here today." I don't even know how many times I've said things like that (probably not as many times as I think I've said things like that though...). Clearly he's been reading my blog. I'm on to your ways, Bill! :)
After work I did that favorite thing of mine: driving. I filled my car up with gas before work today and I was really glad that I had because the price jumped about $.20 over the course of the day. Anyhow, when I got home I had dinner with mom and dad. Mom made some chicken and rice. It was good. So we just talked about some things, like usual. Before dinner I had a few minutes to kill so I figured I'd get started on installing my new graphics card drivers. Usually the first step one should take is to uninstall the old drivers so the two sets of drivers don't conflict. So I uninstalled the old ones, restarted my computer.... and now Windows won't boot. Clearly I'm thrilled to pieces. And I doubt I'll have much time to look at it before the weekend. So much happiness.
I went to go visit the grandfolks after dinner and we had a good time. Just catching up and talking about work and weddings and life. Poppy shared some wisdom on weddings and funerals: no matter how good or bad it went, the day will be over soon. We'll see how much I'm thinking that in a couple months.
I did hear back from one of the people for a bed and breakfast in New York (so much win). It wasn't our first choice and I haven't given up on the other ones yet, but it looks like we don't have to live in my car!
At the point it is well past my bed time. These evenings seem so short. I'm going to go to bed before I dwell on that too much... it usually doesn't end well. So good night, friends.
