Great, now I have two threads to write random BS in.
Condo living is starting to bug me. Hopefully after I get another raise later this year Kimie and I will feel like we're in a solid enough position to move into a larger single-family home. Then I can get a dog, have a garage, and building a projector based home theater setup in my basement (I've decided our main room in the condo is just overall to bright for it to work well enough, but maybe I'll think about some very thick/dark curtains, who knows.
My boss, who I have great respect for, asked me to draw up the standard "list of longterm goals" bit yesterday so we can go over it. He is not doing this as a way to review or discourage me later on if I for some reason don't meet these goals (which in my experience is usually the point behind such assignments), instead he wants me to outline a plan for myself, and he will help me get there. I was greatly impressed to hear this from him, and am proud to work for a guy who's actually interested in furthering his employees careers as opposed to laying blame on them whenever higherups complain (which is unfortunately the type of boss I had at my last job). It's my hope that I'll be with this company for a very long time, then someday, after it's gone public, I'll sell off my acquired stock, and retire someplace warm where there are no laws or restrictions on two men having consensual pistol duels at dawn over matters of honor. 'Cause the good lord knows I love me some duelin'.
