Went from almost getting fired/walking out to getting an 80% payraise and more responsibility at work today. That should help me keep my head above water for a while but I'm not settling and will continue to push forward in life. It was a nuts day, had an interview at New York Life this morning which the big boss man wasn't too fond of. The interview was fun - very professional yet casual people and work environment. Between that and a lot of talking/arguing at work things turned out pretty good and it was a mutual agreement that my services well be better compensated for at computers 4 kids.

My friend Dave who is an EMT offered to let me ride with him and his partner in the ambulance so I'm going to try to do that this weekend and bring the video camera with me which should be a blast.

Cubs seem to suck in the early going, but what else could I expect? I've been incredibly busy lately and barely have time to do anything which is good. Not burning myself out but just trying to use my time productively and pursue things I enjoy while outside of work. This weekend I have a bunch of stuff lined up so I hope I can charge my batteries for it.

Until next time, adios from Austin!
