Over and over again

Getting burned over and over again really gets old. Seriously. Refrickendiculous.

Updates to come later. lol

Two roads

Hmm.

Last night turned out to be a lot different than I thought it was going to be. Since I'd always thought it was basically one big silly joke type of thing, I thought actually carrying out the whole date idea was going to end up being kinda awkward. But no deal there. haha I actually had a ton of fun, and had a couple realizations about some things. Not to mention a really good conversation, which is always good for the soul.

Today we're having a bridal shower for one of my roommates who's getting married next month. hehe I'm kinda sad she'll be leaving, because she's a really awesome roommate and I've only just started to get to know her.. But it's okay I suppose. ;-)

moving on..

One of Robert Frost's poems has been running through my head today. My thoughts right now are kind of vague and philosophical, and I'll just get frustrated if I try to type them out. Instead I'm just going to post the poem, because it does just as good a job.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

- Robert Frost

There are two roads in front of me right now. One would be a little bit wild and fascinating, and the other would be safe and dependable.. In the poem, he chose the safe way. "Knowing how way leads on to way".. Whichever way I take will lead me to another choice.

I guess it's a good thing I don't really have to choose anything today. :)

Well I guess I should..

Okay okay.. You win. Here I go!

Yeah, life basically rocks right now. :) I have a job that I'm absolutely loving so far (although that has more to do with the people than subject material, although that's pretty cool too) and I'm in this awesome apartment with 3 other girls that are so amazingly fun. I'm getting lots done, meeting new people, having some silly fun in the guy area, I'm doing some exercising, stepping out of my shy shell to discover some new areas of life, and just all-around being independent happy Hoddie. I have this big sense of contentment and fulfillment right now. It's been that way for a few days, ever since I made a yummy steak dinner all by myself in my apartment. :-D

Life is good.

So my job.. I'm now working at Convergys, on the Cingular project. For those of you who aren't a nerd like me and have no idea what I'm talking about.. (hah..) I'm gonna be a Customer Support girl, basically. We'll be doing support for people who have Cingular plans through the companies they work for, cuz Cingular does a discount thing for business clients. So basically, it'll be business people calling in with questions about billing, or wanting upgrades or downgrades on their service, or adding people to accounts, or buying equipment, etc. I've heard the people are generally pretty nice, or at least reasonable. :-) I started training on Monday, which goes for 4-5 weeks. The first four weeks are class, then the last week is "nesting" which really just means you start on the call floor, but with little mother birds watching and helping. hehe

I'm excited for the 3G technology to start getting widely used and cheap. :)




Holy crap. I'm so ticked. I've been updating for a freaking HOUR about this guy in my training class and it all freaking got DELETED between when I pressed "Publish Post" and when it finished. GAAHH. Now I don't have time to do it again, cuz I'm going on a date soon. Grr. Oh well. Maybe I'll do it again tomorrow. lol
