I’m dying……some evil virus has invaded my home and has taken up residence in my body, my wife’s body and our son’s body. We are all down and out with the flu. That nasty, putrid, soul searing flu that has you praying for a never to come quick and painless death. Somehow overnight a roll of razor wire was deposited in the back of my throat so that now every time I swallow the fire of a thousand suns makes me wince and whimper like a little school girl. I go from feeling like I’m frozen from the inside out to sweating like Micheal Jackson watching the Vienna Boys Choir. Shitty thing is I cant even take time off work, I am still playing catch up from our trip to Maui so I have to drag my aching, shivering, nauseous ass out of bed each day and crawl into work. But I think today is enough I’m going to go home crawl into bed write my will, and wait for the Grim Reaper to show up…….
Be Good, Be Healthy
Well I guess I can say as of today I am officially back on the job market. I’ve updated and tweaked my resume and sit here now drafting a cover letter for a potential position I’m interested in. god it seems like a life time since I’ve had to do this. No…..I haven’t been fired or quit, as much as I secretly pray for that each day, this is the first step to our pilgrimage back to the coast…..the place we miss so dear. You see the wife being in the “industry” she’s in, she had the luxury of taking a leave of absence and her job is secured up until late summer so its up to me to find gainful employment by at least the end of June to facilitate our move back so, we figured it best to start now hey worst case would be I move down a little earlier than planned and live a bachelors life with the animals.
So now begins that ever draining process of finding good work. I know there is allot out there but it’s important that I find a company that I “fit” into. I’m pretty sure in saying we have all been in jobs where the fit just didn’t jive and it was less than satisfying.
We are heading down in early February to scope out a couple areas that we would like to live in. Unfortunately we cant afford to move back into Kits, where we love and originally moved from a short 14 months ago but I’m sure we will find somewhere that is just right for us and our little growing family.
Wish me luck!
PS. I have elected to post a synopsis of our trip to Maui with some photos and a funny little story about our last day there that I like to call “the day the Hibiscus cried”……stay tuned
Be Good
I had every intention to post over the vacation, I even hauled my 8 1/2 pound Dell laptop to Maui in hopes to post intermittent updates but the condo we were renting had no Internet access nor was I able to find a decent wireless signal close by. So in the spirtit I wrote posts anyways and will be posting them post vacation throughout the next little while. Hey it will be like we are there all over again.
Maui was amazing. It was surprisingly laid back and didn’t really have that frenzied touristy vibe that I expected it would. Even with the influx of all the PGA junkies who made their way to Kapalua to see this seasons first tourney, and yes I have to admit I took in the second round myself. Nice to see the Canadian contingent do well that day but unfortunately they couldn’t pull it off on the final day.
I could most definitely make Maui a yearly tradition for our family, we talked to many people who have been going there with their families for 10 – 20 years and seems like an awesome tradition in my opinion. I think perhaps however, it wouldn’t be over the Christmas/New Years break as it is the most expensive two week period of the year there and the old bank account and visa are still reeling and will be for some time to come, but every single cent was worth it by far.
Sucks to be back in the snow and cold…
Be Good
