a new castle...

well, i'm all moved into my new place!!! and i'm almost unpacked... i still have some kitchen things to find a place for, and hang some pictures, but that's about it... a lot of people came to help me move, so things went smoothly and quickly... and the heat took a break on saturday too... it was still hot, but not 100 degrees death-hot...

i also gave my notice at work last week... only 2 weeks left before i start my new job!!! i'm super excited about it... i'm excited about actually having work to do, about getting some hands-on power experience, and most of all, about being in a position that will allow me to relocate to virtually any electrical engineering position within the government (should the need for that ever arise)...

the only crappy thing going on right now is my car needs to be repaired... 33K miles and the bearings are shot... crappy DC roads with potholes damaging my car... grrr... and the saturn place here wants to charge out the wazoo for the repairs... hopefully, my car will limp along for a few more weeks till i can get to SWVA and have my uncle (who works for a major auto dealer) fix it at cost, and possibly a german chocolate cake... so, everyone send good vibes to my car...

that's about all for now... some people here at work got assigned to a project, but not me... so i'm having fun just twiddling my thumbs for now...

Isn't that part of your warranty?

unfortunately, no... they consider it "normal wear and tear"... very frustrating...
