Fall 2021

Whelp... Summer is over.

So.... let's find out What Happened. 

(in my best  Amber Ruffin impression)

Turns out.... 

i Was really bummed about losing my buddy Sam.

like, REALLY bummed out.

I was actually surprised at how much he meant to me.

Since late 2011, i had been taking care of him. 

But during all that time... i had always referred to him as "My Grandma's Cat".

Well apparently, the only person i was fooling... was Myself.

At some point, he became "My Cat".

And, i guess... i still had some greiving that needed to be done.

I had actually started a new Job the week after he passed...

but i didnt like it.

i didnt like ANYTHING about it.

So i QUIT at the beginning of August (after about 5-6 weeks).

i can't pinpoint the exact reason; but it probably had something partly to do with Sam.

(i took the rest of the summer to reflect and say goodbye).

But on a bright note.... the job (apparently) forgot to ask for their computer back:

So... i got a nice parting gift :]

(a $2,500 value lol)

What else....

So, i also just started another gig.

My buddy AG pulled some strings, and got me an interview.

(it's nice to have friends who are look'ing out for you lol)

The job has some good potential.

It's only been 3 weeks... but i already like it a lot better than that Summer DUD.

I get to work with my buddy (who is a network guru), and i get to work with Palo Alto firewalls.

Folks... that's what we call a WIN-WIN.

Needless to say...  i am cautiosly optimistic :]

It's also paying a bit, more Money.

Okay.... a LOT more Money.

Okay okay.... it's paying BOKU $$$.

in fact, im in the process of getting a financial planner in order to help me set the stage for beneficial a 2022 lol.

Oh, and lastly...

My mom relocated outta the house we grew up in.

She had been chilling there for 33 years... but we had to get her out basically ASAP.

the House has a ton of stairs (3 levels)... while Mom has a bad knee issue.

Fortunately, my sis was able to leverage her network of people to pull off the move

(Shoutout to Darnell lol)

Granted, there's still plenty of work to be done;

the house still needs to be completely cleared out, etc.

But for now.... i think we can 'pause', and just help get her settled into her new apartment.

And THAT concludes the monologue.... did you guys like it?
