New Beginnings
Wednesday, June 07, 2006Well, it's time for things to start again officially. The job hunting is now over, the women hunting has, well, slowed and it's time for things to be fresh again!
As of yesterday I am now employed again! I accepted a position at the company that gave me the first offer. I had also gotten offers from two other places, but this seemed the best for me.
My new company, I'll call it The Start-up, is a very small medical device start up, but has a very promising technology for the treatment of congestive heart failure. I also got an offer from another medical device company and also from a machine design place, but this seemed to be the best fit. After I got the offers, I mulled over things for a day. This job just got me more excited when I thought about it, so I had to go with it. Turned out to be a good choice!
I expected the first day to be a bunch of paperwork and boring stuff, but then I get called into a meeting an hour after I started and they gave me a design project. I have my first little prototype almost done! Fun fun!!
So yeah, I can officially be a slacker again ;O)
In girl news, things are still going along fine with Eclectic Girl, we've spent many more evenings together since I last reported in. We certainly have fun, now we have to work on having a real date ;O)
I was supposed to go out with The Cute Paramedic the other day, but as per usual she's disappeared again. She did come hang out for a while for Grand Old Day, the big music festival they block off a mile and a half of one street in St. Paul for. But yeah, disappeared again, oh well. It's probably for the better for the time being since I am enjoying my time with Eclectic Girl and really am not a fan of having to juggles dates.
Anyway, look for me to finally be active again and I will get some pictures up for you all to see soon :O)

Glad to hear things are looking up for you. Life's a lot better when you don't have a job you hate.
For the record, I still love my new job -

Congrats on the new job. It sounds like a good fit. Hopefully this one is more flexible if you come in a few minutes late...

"I was supposed to go out with The Cute Paramedic the other day, but as per usual she's disappeared again."
^ If she flakes out once (i.e. in the past) she will CONTINUE to flake out and CONTINUE to use you as a LAST OPTION.
Give her the fucking boot.
