since i’ve started my job, my life has become a bit a lot more hectic than usual, which means that something falls by the wayside. that “something,” unfortunately, happens to be blogging. (well it’s better than letting laundry go, right?) anyway, since i’ve gotten nasty-grams about my lack of blogging, i figured i better get back on it.

(n.b. okay, i’ve gotten one nasty-gram, but grant me this small delusion of pretending my blog is more popular than it is. to his credit, my friend’s one nasty-gram counts for at least three. especially since my blog domain is hosted on his server, and he extended it for 2 more years, so there’s this whole little “obligation” thing going on.)

at any rate, i’ve come out of training and actually started my job, and me and the rest of my brand-spanking-new department have apparently been kicking some serious ass at our jobs, even for as new as we are. we’ve already received a slew of compliments in the short time we’ve been around. kinda makes you feel like you’re doing something right, you know?

i’ve managed to get a fair amount of things accomplished in the last couple of weeks other than work, though. for instance, i’ve had sushi, had a curry (or three), kicked some zombie ass in resident evil 5, played with cats, got invited to my friend’s wedding in lebanon next year (!), searched for an apartment, made a new friend, saw an afro-beat band, bought the new metric album (and now love it), and got hit on by a straight man at a gay bar. (yeah, i’m surprised at that last one, too. but it’s flattering nonetheless.)

so yes, i’ve been busy. my next goal? finding a date for a wedding in beirut. this should be good.
