Day 1:
Our first official full day back in the Burg, I woke up early and tried to get ready for my interview at WTW Architects. Man was it stupid to schedule it so close to our move. I?m exhausted and sore from head to toe, but at least I look rather dapper in my suit. I found out early as I was printing out a resume that my entire portfolio had been ruined in our last apartment due to several basement floodings. Oh well, I guess I didn?t need that life?s work anyway; I suppose I?ll have to build another. The interview went well, everyone was really nice, and the building was gorgeous. I?d be so very happy to work there everyday, but I?m not holding my breath. Things will work out eventually for me in the job situation.
I got back from downtown and Sara and I headed out to drop off the Budget ?rig?. Smooth sailing on that task, next we went to the Olive Garden for lunch and had a great meal and a great waiter. After lunch we went to Target, PNC Bank, and Wal-Mart. We opened a checking account at PNC and should be getting our debit cards soon. Surprisingly despite all our running around and hitting all the local hotspots we didn?t run into a single hick from our youthful past. Maybe next time I suppose.
When we arrived home, again beat from running all around and still lack of sleep, we started getting our junk out of the way, it was everywhere. Sara did the dishes and cleaned up the bathroom, and did the laundry. I basically threw everything I could find up into the attic so no one would have to look at it.
When?s mom got home from work she announced how proud George is going to be because she hit the apparently pesky Groundhog just before turning into the driveway. ?I aimed for him and then I looked up in my rearview mirror and saw all four of his little legs up in the air and figured I had gotten him good!? Well that?s mostly what she said, hilarious.
Sara and Mom Steinacker cooked a lovely meal of stuffed green peppers and mashed potatoes, yummy. After dinner I hooked up the entertainment system while Carol played on her new super fast DSL internet. Man was she having fun downloading online games! I crashed pretty soon thereafter.
