Rockin' Birthday

I had totally forgotten until I walked out the door.   I've been so busy at work and with the idea of getting back my old job.  It is amazing how exciting that seems now.  It didn't seem so exciting when I was working there, but now the idea of putting up with bureaucracy and having free time sounds like heaven. 

Anyway, what reminded me was the sign from marlboro I had hung up wishing me a rockin' birthday from my friends at marlboro.  Ahhh, good lookin' out friends...

Thanks to all my real friends for the surprise party and gifts and cards and donations.  I hope to repay them all soon.  When I have time again.

old job new

Should I try to get my job back at Delaware County?  There are many not to veiled comments coming from my old co-workers saying that now is the time to go back.  They love my bike plan and they are about to start the interviewing.  I hate the stress here but am worried I'm not giving it enough of a shot if I leave after 3 mos.  It doesn't show much hope for getting better, though.  I need uninformed opinions and advice.

birthday surprise

Well even before my pathetic birthday plea for help, a surprise party was in the works.  I was completely taken off guard.  I’ll add more details later I have some serious questions to ask everyone.  Thanks to everyone who came to my surprise birthday party, though, it was great!

happy birthday to me

Hey all,
My birthday is coming up and I need to think of some fun and exciting celebration plans… unfortunately with my new job I don’t have time. If anyone is interested in giving me a great birthday present, think of something fun for me to do.

Typically I’m not too concerned about my birthday, but this year I received my first birthday gift from Marlboro and that just made me sad. They told me I needed to have a rockin’ good year. I don’t even have time to write to my friends regularly anymore, let alone rock out. I’ve been neglecting some of you so badly when it comes to giving you my time and I apologize. I hope that I get used to the extra time requirements of this job or find another one soon. Right now it is like grad school deadlines everyday 10 hours a day. I’m already getting burnt out. Oh well, no one wants to read down on life e-mails… I mean, I have a job that pays me more money than I have time to spend and overall things are good. I just need to tough it out and adjust.

For those of you who are more ambitious or wealthy there is a list of desired presents below as well as an updated mailing address for large packages... I really need to get out of this job before it leaves me a bitter greedy shell of a man who only asks for things and doesn’t even have time to correspond with his friends one on one… oops too late.

Love,
Justin
