Update, in brief
I just wanted to leave a brief update; I'll try to post something more substantial later. I've started work this past Monday, which has been good. Nikki and I have mostly completed moving into our apartment, which is probably a little bigger than the one we left behind in Texas. However, it doesn't have an attic and is a lot shorter on nooks and crannies to cram stuff in. :-( However, "ingenunity sets us apart" - we have dealt with some of the things we would otherwise have put in the attic by stashing them behind the couch and pushing the couch up against the wall. I suppose if my children find this post one day, they'll complain this is functionally identical to shoving messes under the bed. I have a few years to think of a reply, though. That's good; I'll need them.
My first project at Logos is supposed to be finished this afternoon :(. I'm doomed; I always take longer than most people to write code, and I'm quite busy learning JScript and the whole Logos framework. On the brighter side, I really like where I'm working ... and they have lots of good coffee, Mountain Dew, etc ... not to mention the spiciest chicken wings ever. The Software Development group went out to lunch on Monday to a Chicken place that serves their chicken on a 7-point scale of spiciness. Having tried 6, I have no desire to try 7. At level 6, it doesn't taste like chicken anymore; it tastes like hot coals mixed with boiling salsa. I washed my hands at least three times, but when I rubbed my eyes seven hours later ... ouchie!!!
More important; the people I'm working with are a great deal of help and have been quite friendly. And it's about time for me to start getting ready to go ... so, until later, I bid you farewell.
Namarië (farewell in Elvish, I think).
