i'm still here. don't go...

hey all,
sorry i haven't updated sooner. i've had quite a bit on my plate lately. here's what i'm serving up...

well if you didn't know, i gave my 2 weeks notice at my work last friday. now i can make my next move (the whole reason why i came back down here). when i gave my manager my resignation, he asked why i was leaving...cuz i don't want be 50, working here with blown out knees and back (duh). so i'm just down to my last week and a half. i have an interview tomorrow at a temp company so hopefully that'll work out and i'll get my foot in the door. then hopefully, i can land an intervew for a good position and get a regular job.

weekend update...
well we were supposed to go to steve sato's birthday party on saturday but...
well my wife wasn't feeling quite good. i think she might be coming down with a cold from the recent weather changes. but she said she was up for the party so we got dressed and was ready to go. but...i had misplaced my keys earlier and couldn't find them. i turned the apartment upside down trying to look for them. then after 30 minutes i found them. we got in the car, got some gas, and hit the freeway. on the freeway, we hit a major traffic jam and we were still in the valley (it was 7:30). so we decided that by the time we would get to the party, it would be past 8:30 (and the party ended at 9). so we turned around and went back home. maybe we can catch next years party.

proposition...what?
yesterday i voted on our california's proposition. i'm the kind of person with an open mind and i'll listen to opinions. so days before the voting, i was trying to catch as many shows as possible to get fully informed on all the props. i've seen all the tv ads and tried to read the booklet that comes in the mail. when i watched the presentations of the pros and cons of the propositions on tv, i would first say to the first presenter 'hey, thats sounds good. i think i know what to do'. then i would watch the second presenter and say 'hey, that sounds good too. oh wait, what was i going to vote for?'. i got so confused that i didn't know what to do. was the tv ads that say all the firemen/teachers/policemen who are against all 4 of the main propositions against arnold, or just against the propositions? why do all firemen/policemen really hate prop 74, when its a teacher issue? is it a 'union thing' and they all have to stick together and vote all the same on all the props? or are they just mad about one of the props and decided arnold sucks. either way, i examined all the props separately, made my choices, and voted. why couldn't they make this easier? have you tried to read the pamplet that comes in the mail? no one gives you the straight up answer, reasons, and effects of each props. i guess thats why everyone doesn't vote, cuz your head will be spinning trying to figure out what to do.

well thats about it for now. gotta drive in the rain to work. i'm still working on my pictorial blog of my japan trip. wish me luck on my interview. lates...
