Survived the First Week of Work
Yup, still standing after four or five days of the new schedule. I was tossed around a bit, starting at different times and also spending a day out in chilliwack. Other than the big adjustment in getting up time (and my lack of ability to actually go to bed before midnight), things are going great.

Walk the Line Review
Finished watching Walk the Line today, the movie about Johnny Cash‘s life. Great movie. Not great on the level of Spiderman or a really kick ass action movie, but great for a drama and a “human” story.

Employed Again
Fun stuff, I got an accepted an offer from the company that Wim works at, so I’m now (or at least on tuesday will be) back in the employed lifestyle. This was the company that I’ve been wanting to work at for a while now, which means I’ll basically be doing the stuff I do
