They call me the working man
well my two weeks of unemployment are officially over. Today is my second day at Western United and I'm loving it. It's been quite a shock going from a company of 18 people to over 500 but I'm getting used to it.
They're training me on the Insurance end of it all right now and I think I'm picking it up pretty easily. My job will require me to update and reorganize the internal help pages, which after reading through a lot of them, I'm finding out this will definitely be a full time job.
At CS&O, my last job, I knew within the first week that I didn't want that job. Finances and lack of better opportunities made it so that I would stay there for 9 months and it seemed like I hated each day worse than the last. I can say after the second day here that I don't feel the same way. I really like this job so far and like the people I am working with.
In other news, I got old this weekend. I turned 30 on Sunday. I had a great weekend though to help dull the aging pains. On Tuesday the week before, Jenn told me that she was getting me a puppy. We've been talking about getting another Boston Terrier for sometime now and she surprised with that. I've never had a pet before (other than some goldfish) and I can't wait until we actually get my new dog. I still haven't settled on a name so feel free to suggest something. The weirder the better.
On Sunday Jenn and I went to the Getty Museum in LA. Since it opened I have been meaning to go there and finally I was able to go. I really had a lot of fun and got really tired walking through the whole thing. It got pretty busy around 4 at night so we decided to take off... only to get home and have a whole crapload of people in my house. Jenn had set up a surprise party for me and she got me pretty good.
I had a really good time catching up with all my family and freinds taht were there. I have to give everybody that helped a big thanks and I really enjoyed it even though I was exhausted. I'll try to put some of the pictures from the party up soon.

Congrats on this new job, G and I also had a good time at your party. Welcome to the 30s. Thanks Woody for the invite.

Glad to hear that you like the new place...I know how unhappy you've been working the other job. Always nice to not mind going to work!
