behind it all is a price to be paid
some incredibly sad news - a senior at oak hills named scott robinson was hurt critically this weekend in a 4-wheeler accident. a couple other guys i didn't know were also hurt. the people that passed the news on to me said that scott's paralyzed and going in for surgery. it's terrible - scott was one of the best soccer players i'd ever seen and was on for a full ride to college to play.
started up at the new job today. i think in a couple of weeks i'll be comfortable, up to speed, and meshing with the flow of things that my team is trying to accomplish. the staggering size of the company is still tough for me to handle - i feel like i grew up in the middle of montana and someone just dropped me in front of the sears tower. there is a vibe at a company this large that i totally didn't expect. it's challenging and quite scary. but i think i'll be able to look past that and work with my team and feel right at home. if i weren't a CBTS employee, and i was actually a GE employee, i think i'd really feel a lot tinier than i do now.
the egg hunt of death was interesting tonight - we got raided by a bunch of taylor young life people who tried to hit us with pies on camera. i do have some great shots of mike berry in full easter bunny drag.
and - who knew? - getting up at 7am and being to work by 8 was pretty easy. i'd been waking up far earlier than normal for the past few weeks - i don't think it's coincidental. so that's something.
got the tuxes figured out this weekend too.. decided on an invitation last week... found a hotel for our out-of-town guests... and we're going to start registering and stuff this week. that's coming along nicely.
dude! did you know that schlotsky's deli still exists locally? it's in norwood. i love that place! i didn't think there were any left.
so may is going to be insane. new nine inch nails disc, new audioslave, episode III (if you haven't seen the trailer yet, it's just as stunning as you'd expect), hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, enterprise: season 1 on dvd, and chappelle's show season 3. my hair heater!
