Another workweek is done and It’s time to unwind.. This week was hectic, there was a major change at work.. A change that really didn’t make sense. But whatever I’m still employed and as long as I get a paycheck for the next two months I’m OK.
We need to start cleaning up and packing.. In case I haven’t mentioned it we’ve decided on moving back to LA. My wife’s last day on the job is April 25 and she starts working in LA on April 28th. I’ve been looking for a job and so far I’ve had several call backs. Too bad I can’t set up any interviews yet because I’m all the way in Charleston but hopefully when we get to LA I get something right away.
OK so this is really a big deal and I don’t think we’re all that prepared but it just isn’t working out for us here. We’re got tons of lists to go through and so far we’re way behind. Because of that I’ll need to stay here until the middle or end of May while my wife goes to LA, gets an Apt and gets everything settled.. Then I’ll follow.. That way we’ll have dual income until the last minute.

It’s been raining the last two days which is about right at this time of the year in Charleston. It’s weird though because during the day it’s really sunny then when it’s time to go home.. it gets gloomy and starts raining on the “long” drive home. Yep.. I drive about 45min to 1 hour each way every day.. Isn’t that just awesome?? And all this for a very healthy income of about…nevermind Its not a real healthy income =/
Although it’s raining alot this week.. Spring is actually the best time here in Charleston. Not as good as LA but the weather is actually livable.. Because come summer it gets in the 110s with very very very high humidity.. During spring however its breezy in the high 70s low 80s so yeah perfect weather in Charleston is there’s ever such a thing.
Just thought I’d make a quick blog since I haven’t written in a couple of days. My mind is blank and I can’t think of anything to write about right now, hopefully something comes to mind and I’ll have that blogger’s mentality and just blog like crazy but for now I’m just gonna watch American Idol, then the Lakers then go to sleep. Gnite I guess.

Doh!! My vacation is over and headed back to work on Monday. Overall our vacation was fun and relaxing alot of traveling but a nice change of pace.
Ahh so what’s been going on this week? Well in Sports, UCLA is playing in a couple of hours as they have made it to the elite eight. A win today and they’re on their way to the Final Four. The Lakers have lost 2 in a row to two of the worst teams in the NBA and Kobe is only one technical away from a mandatory one game suspension.
As for us, we got back on Friday then headed over to Downtown Charleston walked around, had some sushi and then some ice cream. We’re just going to stay in the rest of the weekend. Probably do some cleaning, finish the laundry and watch some hoops on the TV.
Other things are brewing but I’m not gonna mention these things until they are confirmed.

Basically that is what I feel like today at work. I’m going on vacation next week and everyone is just stumbling around trying to figure out how to cover what I do. I’m only going to be gone a week and they’re making me feel like I’m committing a sin by taking some time off. I deserve the time off I’ve earned the vacation time and I don’t think it’s fair that they are making me feel this way.
You wanna know what makes it worse? There’s 3 of us in my department and when my co-workers took some time off last year and earlier this year.. I covered their desks for over a month and didn’t give them a hard time about it. Didn’t get no help just covered the desks. And today, I just got a call from our HR and she said that she wanted me to train this other person to help “cover” my desk for one friggen week. I’m like , WTF?? When I was covering the other people I didn’t get any help.. And now that I’m gonna be on vaca for only a week I gotta train someone so they can get help?? Just just doesn’t seem right. =/
Well let me tell you.. this is making our
Decision alot easier!!
