Catching Up

I haven' blogged in awhile, I know.

I'm still plugging along at NCO. Its still not the best job in the world, but its still a job.

I've been trying to find ways to relax when I'm not at work. I've been steadily building up quite a nice sized iTunes library. I've also been trying to jog a couple times a week.

That's all fro now

The End is Near

After three months, I've finally nearing the end of my NCO training. I will "graduate" this coming Friday. Its an amazing accomplishment for me and I'm extremely proud of myself for sticking it through to the end. I'm also relieved that after this week I won't have any early mornings- waking up at 4am and standing half asleep outside in the cold waiting for the bus.

Busy, Busy, Busy

My job at NCO is keeping me really busy. I've been there about a month now and I've got into some semblance of a routine. I got work and I sleep when I can. I've really got alot of balls up in the air. NOT!

I've finally started reading again which I used to do a lot, when I had a lot more time. I picked up the His Dark Materials trilogy from Borders last week and I'm really enjoying it so far.

A Job, At Last!

After 4 years of unemployment, I've finally found work. Last Friday, I started at NCO, which handles customer service for T-Mobile, here in Rockford. After getting and accepting that job offer, an enormous weight has been lifted. I feel better than I have in years.

Catching Up

I haven't blogged in awhile. I've just had some stuff going on. I've lost two in the past 2 months who meant a lot to me and I've been somewhat depressed.

But I'm all better now, so I promise to blog with more frequency.

The Noble Savage

I was in a very satirical kind of mood last week, I did a little free writing and came up with this.

God Bless the Noble Savage

God bless the noble savage
whose life turned out just fine.
Despite the fact that he doesn't feel the need
to spend a single dime

He doesn't need
the Ivy League or honor roll
to turn out just and moral

The noble savage never hesitates
to give to those less off
he doesn't even need the bonus
of an IRS write off

The noble savage is quite content
with his eclectic rags.
He doesn't need $300 shoes
or stuff with designer tags

There is no need for lypo or Adkins
to satisfy his self worth
his daily quest for survival is plenty
to reduce his girth.

Starbuck's and McDonald's
are not high upon his list.
We can only hope the rest of the world
will someday get the gist.

Back in the Habit

I started going to daily Mass again today. I actually missed getting up 7am. This particular Mass was interesting though. After the actual Mass, those assembled were invited to participate in guided adoration of the Eucharist. I'd never done that before and it was a nice experience for me.

I've got my fingers crossed over this job interview I had on Monday. It would be a great opportunity for me, full time position, benefits, etc. Its been at the top of of my prayer list, so I hope that, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, God is on my side.
