Status Update

Tomorrow night at our Homeowner's Association Meeting, PPL (the owner of the unsold units at my condo) will be discussing starting to rent out units rather than sell them. Their plan will hopefully prevent them from defaulting on their utility bills and construction debts and keep the bank from taking custody of the building. I have no idea what would happen in that instance, but my guess is that it wouldn't be good. I'm not opposed to renting out condos, but in all likelihood, the new renters will probably try to raise livestock in the hallway or something equally disturbing.

Work is all right. Every day I get a little sharper. Cases that took me months to close are now getting fairly routine. I want to apply for the tuition reimbursement program they have, but I have no idea where I should take online courses or for what, or if I should even attempt this year. Anyone have any relatives with experience with online continuing education?

Claire's in Hannibal, Missouri putting some new soups through a test run at the real production plant they have down there. I had to deliver her to the airport Monday morning, which meant getting up at 4 am and then going straight to work from there. I got a nap in, so staying up late for Monday night stuff didn't completely wipe me out. I'll be glad when she gets back, but that will also mean I'll have to start eating healthy foods and putting the toilet seat down again. Sheesh, if it's not one thing, it's another.

She tricked me into eating soy disguised as hamburger helper last week! >:(

Lastly, my parents bought a new chair for their house. I think the dogs like it:

Friday

It's been a long time since I've updated. It's also been a long time since I've had the free time to compose my thoughts. Most days I run about, run to work, run home, run to my parents, run to poker, run to Claire's, run to DnD, run to Cub... steal six hours of sleep here, read a little bit during my lunch break. I don't feel bored, but at the same time, I don't feel like I have a lot of free time.
I suppose I shouldn't complain too much. Roof over my head, food on the table (metaphorically, most food spoils when left out) and work to do. Especially since I spend most of my working hours with those who have hit rock bottom or worse, fifty thousand, hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. It could always be worse.
Valentine's Day is here... and that's about all I have to say about it. Going to eat at a restaurant with Claire. Probably make kissy faces.
Lastly, here are a couple of addicting games I've been playing lately that you may like (if you aren't already completely engrossed in another game):
World of Goo
The Asylum

Go see Gran Torino if you haven't already. Good movie.
