home alone tonight and it sure is quiet in here. I've been so busy that I've been missing quite a bit. We are looking at possibly moving again.... I'm sure we could find something better than this $1300 a month 1 bedroom apartment. After our discount runs out the rent is going up to $1500..... Its ridiculous.... thats a mortgage payment in some states.

after working 60 hours a week I'm ready to cut back.... the job is starting to wear on me already and my work related stress levels are at an all-time high.

what do you all really care anyway??? you just want to see the pictures.


Andrew is the joy of my life.

Life's been good. I've been pretty busy with work. We are spending Thanks-G in VEGAS. I am 15-20 lbs heavier than I was last year. I switched to light beer. I haven't been drunk in quite a while.

just a quick note to say "hey"

we've been living here in San Diego for a week now. Life is good and I've been very busy with work.... I've actually been falling asleep before 9pm every night.

Well my coffee is ready and I leaving for work now... I'll update again soon..

yes we are.

Moving to Mission Valley. Paying entirely to much for our place. Going to live right next door to Qualcomm Stadium and Ikea.

It will be so nice though. My commute to Chula vista will be a short one, and yet I'm not too far from our main office in Carlsbad. Except I may travel a bit the first few days.. (Mission Viejo)

We have a moving date set, I have turned in my resignation letter.. what else can I do? Attempting to rent a moving vehicle with a trailer is more difficult and expensive than I thought.

I have more to say but I can't stop thinking about how fabulous our place in Mission Valley is... even if it is too expensive. I am dreading the football traffic though.

I am going to have to give my fish away because there is no way to move them (too big)... this makes me sad.

I must be on an updating frenzy..

I will be starting work in California for one of the most respectable & successful developers/builders in the nation the last week of this month.

Its amazing that we will have to move before then. I haven't even told my work in Denver yet that I will be quitting. Oh well.

my work will be in Chula Vista for the next year or 2.. and then possibly Carlsbad, where we hope to buy a house someday.

so far I have found places to live in these areas:

Solona Beach.. ideal choice, near the highway, plush
Clairemont.. Ok I guess... closer to work
North Park.. artsy and young but?
Hillcrest.. I like it. More gay than San Francisco though, and Hamburger Mary's gave me gas today.

I really like Point Loma but its a little loud and expensive.. same with Mission Hills.

More updates maybe tomorrow... I'll be house/condo hunting... and you can keep your yucky apartment complexes.

Lets hope my day isn't like today was... I was in Elsinore by 7am then Corona.. then back to Temecula .. then back to Carlsbad.. then house hunting down south all day... in the friggin heat & traffic.

I'm fried.

San Diego, Job Interview, less than 1 week away. Mom offered to buy me a new interview outfit at Banana. how cool.


anyone legally versed?
If I move there is chance I will be subpoenaed to appear in court for a pending case against my employer. Can they make me fly out for that? and who pays for it?

Current Music: synthpop club anthems 2

I have a job interview in Carlsbad, CA (North San Diego) my hometown, next Tuesday. I was told its pretty much a done deal and I just need to accept the job. WOW. Looks like we may be starting our family in sunny socal instead of Denver... this doesn't bother me one bit. I will be making a bigger chunk of money out there and that never hurts.

I am nervous as hell.

I can't wait to build sand castles on the beach with my son, smoke doobies with my mom, drink beers with my pops, and watch the sun set with bizzybus(Lesa). Lets not forget the trips to Mexico, the real seafood, and my weekly visits to Lou's Records and Juanita's.

Living in this high altitude cowboy town, it all still sounds like a Jimmy Buffet song to me.

because I just had my morning coffee poo at work... a mere secends before the cleaning lady went in to clean.. and I use the ladies room.. (always) its a one-person bathroom.. much cleaner than the men's.. I hope she doesn't mind the pretty swirl pattern I left behind.

Please read carefully and be respectful of the other poopers
in the office, it can be a very embarrassing experience, not only for the pooper, but the witness as well.
HOW TO POOP AT WORK
We've all been there but don't like to admit it. We've all
kicked back in our cubicles and suddenly felt something brewing down below. As much as we try to convince ourselves otherwise, the WORK POOP is inevitable. For those who hate pooping at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at work:
CROP DUSTING
When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in your area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from. Be careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been expelled. Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.
FLY BY
The act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and check for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave
and come back again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.
ESCAPEE
A fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or forcing a poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it. Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both parties feel uneasy.
JAILBREAK
When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This is usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen, do not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to spare everyone the awkwardness of what just occurred.
COURTESY FLUSH
The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water.
This reduces the amount of air time the poop has to stink up the bathroom. This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF
SHAME.
WALK OF SHAME
Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just stunk up the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks in and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does not exist. Can be avoided with the use of the COURTESY FLUSH.
OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER
A colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a newspaper or magazine under his or her arm. Always look around the
office for the Out Of The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.
THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N)
A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes off without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of Out Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.
SAFE HAVENS
A seldom used bathroom somewhere in the building where you can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the opposite sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the bathroom.
TURD BURGLAR
Someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries to force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable moments that can occur when taking a poop at work. If this occurs, remain in the stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all uncomfortable eye contact.
CAMO-COUGH
A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you are in a stall. This can be used to cover-up a WATERMELON, or to alert potential Turd Burglars. Very effective when used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.
ASTAIRE
A subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd Burglars that you are occupying a stall. This will remove all doubt that the
stall is occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the pooper can poop in peace.
WATERMELON
A poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.
HAVANA OMELET
A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a Camo-Cough with an Astaire.
UNCLE TED
A bathroom user who seems to linger around forever. Could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror or sitting on the pot. An Uncle Ted makes it difficult to relax while on the crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty. This benefits you as well as the other bathroom attendees.
