So's You Know
It has been brought to my attention that I suck at keeping folks up to date. Um... I've been telling you folks that for a long time now. I do that with everyone... family included. Not sure why I do that, but thanks for reminding me...
Anyways, here's a quick update:
California. I've taken the job, but had to go in to Chicago for a physical and drug test. Drug test went off without a hitch. Physical? Not so lucky. As most of you may have picked up on, I am "this guy" who has high blood pressure. I was told by Dr. Osama that I needed to see my physician, get my blood pressure under control, and then report back to him. He would not approve the physical until we had everything stabilized. The physical was on Monday... all's clear.
Talked with future boss man. I should be out in Fresno by the end of the month. That is unless I hear from another opportunity closer to home. Better money, better benies, less moving. Doubt that I'll hear anything from them...
Brother is getting married this weekend. May have some pics. I also may not. You'll see, either way.
On my writing in metaphors:
It's something I do. I don't like looking down at what I've written, and noticing that I have written "I" a million times. I'll then rewrite my post in metaphors so that I do not irritate you as much as I irritate me.
Still single. Not married. No wedding was in the works. Nothing. The partner referred to was job related.
That's pretty much it. I shall get back to leaving you folks in the dark.
T1G, out.

Posted by: oddybobo at August 2, 2007 09:23 AMCA? Sorry to hear that. You couldn't pay me enough to live in that liberal mecca.
Posted by: Ogre at August 2, 2007 09:42 AMMaybe I should leave my feelings about CA out of this, but.....
CA SUCKS.
I grew up there. I know. And for a guy from the Midwest, growing up on a farm, going to CA is like a trip to the zoo- it's okay to visit, but you really don't want live with the monkeys.
I hope you find something closer to home, and if not, I wish you luck.
Posted by: RAVE at August 2, 2007 09:52 AMNot all of CA sucks. You're in a more conservative area, where you are talking.
And thanks for the candle light. Much appreciated. ;-)

What we're REALLY dyin' to know is who signed up for the BotFly BlogMeet?!?!?!?
Posted by: Tammi at August 2, 2007 12:53 PMCan you explain to me why every slutty-looking girl I meet from The Valley, if you ask them if they're an East Ender or a Fritzer, says, "I work at the East End". Seriously.
Posted by: Raging Mom at August 2, 2007 02:51 PM.... that is excellent news, big guy..... I look forward to more updates...
Posted by: Eric at August 2, 2007 03:01 PMyou are a serious butt head.
Let me know when you arrive in town. We'll throw you a bash. Well, some beers and A/C but that could be a hell of a party.
Posted by: caltechgirl at August 2, 2007 03:34 PMwell, i for one am disappointed. your gay coming out post was one of my favorites. talk about mystery solved? good looking 40ish marine, never married, no kids...uh huh, gay just made good sense. back to the drawing board. really? not gay? huh.
have fun at your bro's wedding. happy cali and much improved health to you, brudder.

Not to change the subject of your health problems, but did you replace the transmission in your 1967 car?
I don't know about Fresno, but if it is anything like down here in Southern Cal, you'd better know how to speak Spanish.
Posted by: Maeve at August 5, 2007 08:22 AMEh, how about news I didn't already know and I've been out of the state for a week.
Posted by: Contagion at August 6, 2007 07:25 PMWell, I'm glad things are under control bp wise. If you do get to CA, of course, you'll only be like 15 hours driving from here. heh!
Fresno is an okay place. Best thing about it is being practically at the entrance to Yosemite - that is a truly pretty place!
