Life has been awesome...

Let me preface by saying those four words. I am so blessed I lack the words... But I'll try.

I'm writing this blog as a sort of journal entry. Something I can look back on when the stress mounts and the 'new job' smell has worn off. When I'm sick of the color of the office and my butt has gone to sleep in my now comfy chair once too often... So forgive me if I ramble. It's how my brain works.

I started working for Faith Promise Church this week. I'm the new Video Director. Which means I'm using those 4 and 1/2 years of college to earn my living now. I'm still an electrician as long as I maintain my dues so there's always that to fall back on.

My last week out at the plant was a quiet week. I showed people how to do what I did and insisted that they actually do so. I was not going to be there to show them how the next week... During the evenings I cleaned out the new office (Previously referred to as 'Nolan's Old Office') got Drew hooked up with some High Def for the Super Bowl and painted. Sunday I added some can lights and a lovely remote control dimmer to edit by, because nothing is worse than trying to edit by the harsh glaring light of a humming florescent light. (Yes, they hum at a constant 60Hz.) Got the lights in, went home, slept and showed up excited for work the next day.

It was raining so I began the mound of paperwork expected of a new hire, moved a temporary desk into the office and started getting set up for some editing. Sometime during this the rain changed to snow. Like a thick, sitting on the ground, slushy, slick snow. So PC called in and declared it was a snow day... Fabulous first day. Snow day! (OK, so I stuck around and started working... I'm on the main drag and don't worry about getting stuck too much) After a full and productive day of work and some bonding with my new co-workers (Hereinafter named 'The Three Musketeers') I went home and chilled.

Today I sought out some early (though not as early as I used to have to go in) morning tea and a leisurely drive to the office. My one thought on the way in was that it was odd that no one was here yet... I neglected to check the radio for school closings. If Knox is closed, so are we. My second day - another snow day. So the Three stayed here today and got some work done... I've burned the 1's and 0's today watching my computer play with the DVCam deck. I've also got an errant tape deck packed and ready to ship for repair tomorrow and got my phone setup. So it's been another fabulous snow/work day...
