al, i\'d tell you, but then i\'d have to kill you.
just kidding. anyways, i like a lot of stuff, a lot. i\'ve always been one to try to do everything, rather than sacrifice one thing for another. i prioritize, but i don\'t sacrifice...
i work in front of a computer all day, so during downtime, breaks, etc, i check in on the forum, among other things. the overtime thing is over for now. i was working as a consultant at Hyperion Solutions (one of Fortune\'s 100 Best Companies To Work For) for over 15 months, until i was finally hired as a permanent employee earlier this month (yay!)... i did the shaw\'s thing for a while during consulting (until Feb \'03), mainly because i was attached, but it got to be too much. i decided i wanted my weekends, so i left on great terms.. i worked with a lot of great people there, so it was hard to leave at first, but it was for the better...
as far as taping goes, i\'m not the crazy guy you once knew... matt\'s gone ballistic and runs 168 channel multi-tracks at all the local shows, and chris is following in his footsteps.. they\'ve got most of the local stuff covered, and i pretty much record anything they can\'t make it to, that i can. i just don\'t have the time for it like i did in \'01-\'02... i still find time to archive, seed, and hook people up with discs though. expect a nice stack from me tomorrow night.
you can still find me at the gym daily.. the new job is nice because i can pretty much make my own hours, plus i get to work from home on fridays... so i work 6-2 every day, go home and rest a bit, hit the gym around 4:30, and i\'m home by 6 for the night.. working from home also allows me to go out the night before, since i can just roll out of bed and start working..
as far as affording stuff while in college, that is 150% thanks to Lisa for supporting me and my habits the whole time. Lisa is 2 years older than me, and got a job as a nurse before she was even done with college, so... oh, and i\'ve also been going to the gym for free for the past year, due to my runner-up victory in Manhattan Fitness Survivor in August \'02... (i can go into more detail over dinner).. also, you can ask anyone who knows me - i don\'t pay full price for
anything. i\'m a big time bargain shopper, and always wait for and find the best deals.. guess that\'s something else i do in my spare time.
after all this, Lisa and i are finally house hunting... we\'re seriously grown out of our condo - there\'s just no room for anything... so we\'re looking.. gonna stay in the area, even though i work about 45 miles from home, it\'s not bad with the hours... another great thing is because of the market, we\'re looking to make about $50k-$60k when we sell our condo, which will definitely help with the house...
so.. that\'s my life story.
to be continued..
