damn, this year has been flying by. oh well, better get used to it i guess
i feel like the underlying theme to june and july thus far has been transition and change. at work i'm beginning to take on more and more responsibilities, and will likely be moving up to Platinum Expert pretty soon. that basically means i'm one of the more knowledgeable people in the department, and thus have even more responsibilities and all that. i'll likely be out of the department sometime early 2010, which is kinda crazy. right now i'm thinking about taking either an R&D position or a product marketing position once i leave AE. marketing is a MUCH better fit for me, as i'm a pretty decent tech writer (at least according to some of the marketing managers i've worked with) and i like how you can see a project from start to finish. marketing are the ones who think up new projects, which is pretty cool. R&D is more of the engineering bread and butter. i want to learn about a lot of useful technical shit, and R&D would be the place to do it. i think i'd probably be happy in either position, so i'll have to wait and see how everything plays out
i also joined a band last month, and have been rehearsing twice a week. it's been fun as hell, and i really dont know why it took me 5 years to start playing with other people. i'm fuckin excited to start playing some gigs... which should hopefully be happening sometime in august or september. music is ftw
currently in the process of buying my first house too, which has been pretty crazy. i'm excited about moving in, and will definitely have to throw a huge party there at some point.
went on a cruise last week to jamaica, grand cayman, and cozumel. really awesome, as usual. had a great time with my stepbros and my cousins who i havent seen in forever. got sunburned (twice) and ridiculously drunk (twice). good times
off to watch tv the rest of the night. yay boring saturday nights. last night provided a little too much entertainment though... so i'm ready for a boring night.
