<p>You know, school was bad.  I hated it.  I dreaded going there.<br /><br />Now I work.  There are some serious perks of working - I get to learn from the people around me, I get to experience totally new things (like MS Access on a whole new level, and Excel spreadsheets with 30,000 rows), plus I get a paycheck every two weeks, my first of which comes at me tomorrow (I hope).<br />There is also this whole starting at eight in the morning thing.  Don't get me wrong, I love work, but as an 18 year-old, I would appreciate a little more sleep after staying up until the wee hours of the morning. Then I work until 5.  That means that there is no lake aside from weekends.  No swimming.  No Nothing during the day except for an hour for lunch.  I might catch a game of Ultimate after work, but then the daylight hours are gone.<br /><br />But I love work :)  I get to sit in front of a computer all day waiting for databases to load like I am doing now (and it is STILL loading.)<br /><br />Anyway, still waiting on that laptop. Still waiting to re-design this beast of a page.   Still waiting for my parents to move...  When I have time...</p>

<p>I greaduated.  I am putting high school behind me.  Not that it wasn't fun, or I didn't enjoy it or anything, but I am leaving.  I have grown up.  I am an adult now.<br />That said, I think I am going to have to change the name of the blog.  (it is currently "high school sucks")  Any suggestions are welcome :)<br /><br />Anywho, I have a job now.  It is at Shasta.com, an internet company that has ISP services , designs websites, does tech support and the like.  I work... all the time.  8-5 monday through friday.  It is like a "real" job.  I have a cubicle.  I have a boss that wants covers on his TPS reports.  There is actually gossip at the water cooler.<br />A real job.  What a laugh.<br /><br />Hey, at least I will be rollin' in the dough pretty soon :)<br /><br />So since I will be online more and I am hoping to get a laptop prety soon, I will be updating the site's design, function, etc... pretty soon.  <br /><br />Like I said, life goes on...</p>
