Is this microphone on?

Bear with me, I'm about to say a bunch of words that may not make sense to you but they make perfect sense to me. 

Last night was probably one of the worst nights of my life. It really just sucked. I was forced to look at myself, my emotions and be just brutally honest. I hated every minute of it. I had no choice. Now that I have starred the beast in the face and have faced the ugly truth about being a woman do I feel better? Nope. Not one bit. In fact, I'd be more inclined to say I feel worse. But on the flip side of that I know that it will eventually get better. I refuse to allow this to dictate who I am today and who I will be tomorrow. I am, after all, my mother's daughter.

Geeks Unite

Second week of training for my new job...yeah, still in a hotel. 
Actually its not so bad, only because I'm learning tons of stuff I probably would have never tapped into because, well, we have geeks to do that. Yeah, hi, I'm a geek now apparently. My new vocabulary includes firewall, DNS, data center, server migration...the list goes on! 
I think I need a nap. 

fanatically yours, (haha)

Back in the saddle again

Well its been quite a while since I've posted anything but now I'm back on track and ready to write, write, write. So what's been going on...? 

Well...I got a new job and I absolutely LOVE it. And that's just the training part - haha! Seriously, I'm thrilled to be part of such a great company and I'm excited to see new things to come. Also, I FINALLY got the computer I have been waiting for...my very own MacBook Pro! It is beautiful. I am in love. 

So back to the new job - I'm staying in San Antonio for three weeks for training. At first I thought this might be fun but it's kinda not. I really don't think I enjoy hotels all that much. Maybe its because I know I have to be here for so long and its not really a "vacation" at all. I'll get over it. 

I miss Tokyo.
