a brief update...

its been a week since i have bligged on the blog. a brief update...

i haven't been blogging at work because things have picked up dramatically. they have given me access to the email account where people (mostly engineering firms) email in to ask for the as-builts for a certain section of road or for a specific land parcel. i can now answer those emails whenever they come in which is at least 2 or 3 times a day. the bigger thing at work is that we are now working with the data that the other firm that we hired has delivered to us. we are checking that data against what we know to be true as represented in the as-builts and then flagging errors wherever we find them. CMUD is essentially using a database of those errors as proof of the other company's failure to meet or complete the agreed upon criteria. still waiting to see how all this will play out, but the important part is that i have stuff to do all day at work. no more reading the DTH...

i haven't been blogging at home because i am in the process of repainting my room. i have moved everything out (which is tricky in a small house) and am now repairing a section of drywall that was removed years ago to do some repairs. i will then wash the walls, fill in 25 years worth of nail holes, then paint the room a nice shade of Marsh Green* by Behr from the Home Depot. i am sleeping in the living room on an air mattress (which i am kind of excited about), don't have much free time, and don't even have my computer hooked up. kind of hectic around here...

i am going to stop putting the next blog topics at the bottom of my blogs. i am finding that, in everyday life, i think of things to write about and have started writing them down, but am being stopped from writing about them because i have to write about what i said i was going to write about. I'm still going to write about waiting until black friday and the itouch commercial. a rather unimportant point, but just letting you know.

gotta go - holler back
