Wow.

Holy shit it's been awhile. A lot of things have happened. Here's the short list:

-Got married.
-Went on honeymoon.
-Got in trouble at work.
-Repeat #3, a few times.
-School rocks.
-Bought a Wii.
-Got another kitten.
-The kittens fight.
-A lot.


Getting married was a lot of fun. The rehearsal was...interesting, thanks to a church-employed wedding planner who sucked. She was wearing a black sweatshirt with a kitten on in, playing amongst cattails. Say more? No need. The ceremony went well. The reception, while it had its difficult moments, was a lot of fun. I won't talk about the rest of the night, after the reception.

The honeymoon was amazing. It was an Eastern Caribbean cruise, a week-long one. It was amazing just to get away from everything we have going on here, let alone being in 80-degree plus, sunny-ass weather. We met another couple on their honeymoon from Ontario, and we spent a lot of time with them all week. We took a hike along the coastline of St. Maarten, and we ate a lot of food. A lot. It was fantastic.

Now I'm on winter break from school, but I still have my part-time job to go to. If only I had a full-time teaching job.




If only.








If only.

Things are changing.

I've been in all weekend, taking care of Amy, who's been de-wisdom teeth-ed. It's been a nice little vacation, just a 4-day weekend. I've been watching a few movies I've always meant to (High Noon, THX 1138, White Heat and The Dirty Dozen), along with a few Netflix picks (Vantage Point, Gone Baby Gone and We Own the Night). Avoid Vantage Point at all costs.

Over the 4-day weekend, things are changing for me. In order to take a full-time building sub job at a local school district, I had to vacate the position I've been holding for 2 years at work. Over the weekend is when someone else takes over, so when I'm through with my 4-day weekend, everything will be different for me there. It's like a reboot.

It's weird - the whole time I've been there, I've been trying to climb up - get promotions and raises and higher positions. Got shot down almost every time. Now I'm all but leaving. I could always tell that I'd be able to go far in that company, given the time. And given the chance, I would have. But something else came along that I've always wanted. Now that I'll be going part time, I'll be treated like a nobody.

But it goes with the territory. That company is for people who put full stock in its philosophies. For true believers - and to be honest I never was one. I could fake it, for the paycheck. But now it's a matter of time before I won't have to anymore.
