| Well we've made it! My last day of work was on Wed. May 14, and we packed up when I got home (John, Sue, Jason, Amber, Chad, Fishy, Rachel and I), and promptly left Oregon for our new apartment in Glen Carbon, IL. We've been unpacking ever since! It's a pretty awesome place. We've got a gigantic living room and kitchen (gigantic compared to our old apartment anyways), a garage, two bedrooms, and one and a half bathrooms. We've also got a Wal-mart, a Slackers, and a Starbucks just a stone's throw a way; so we're both pretty happy. I'm really liking my new job! I started working on Mon. May 19, and so now I've been working for about a week and a half. The commute isn't too bad either; it takes me 30 minutes to get there and roughly 40 minutes to get back (traffic on 270 gets a bit hectic). And after my first week of work I enjoyed the Memorial Day weekend! Rachel and I basically stayed the whole weekend in Greenville hanging out with my parents (who came down to see the apartment and us), Rachel's parents, and friends! I also managed to get some work done on the website. I added a file sharing piece for Jesse and I (so we could send music pieces back and forth for recording purposes), and I also safeguarded a certain section against SQL injection (it was starting to bother me). I also have other "random" ideas I'd like to spring on the unsuspecting public via my website. I'll let you know as soon as any of these are implemented. 2 Comments | Leave a Comment |
| May 1, 2008, 7:51 PM Meet me in St. Louis, I'll be waiting there |
| Well, I guess it's only news to some at this point, but Rachel and I are officially moving to the St. Louis area! After three weeks of interviews (taking off a day of vacation for each interview session, which occured once a week) and over a month of looking, I finally landed a job as a .NET developer at HDA (Home Design Alternatives) in St. Louis! I heard the news last Friday (April 25th...crazy day) and Rachel and I immediately went to Greenville to begin searching for apartments. We've seen some decent ones, but I think there's still an apartment out there for us that we haven't quite met yet. Hopefully we can meet it this weekend (as we are, yet again, going to be in Greenville). So it's quite a change, but Rachel and I are both excited about it. Also Jesse D and I are beginning to collaborate on the new Burt McGee and Dark Forest projects, both of which I'm excited about. Jesse has sent a few Burt songs my way to add pieces to, and just last night, I recorded a demo of "Terrible Light" and sent it his direction to see if he could add anything to it. I'm interested in seeing what the outcome of that will be. Anywayz, St. Louis here we come!! 3 Comments | Leave a Comment |
