Back from vacation, and work news too

Disneyland was great!

It wasn't too hot, it wasn't too crowded, etc.

I always love going there. I know I'm a big geek, but I feel like I'm home when I go there. And I hate leaving.

I can't imagine, tho, being an annual passholder. I wouldn't like treating a visit to the park like a trip to the mall. I think that's why so many of those guys set up websites to complain about the place, because they see it so much they start nitpicking things that once-a-year visitors wouldn't see. I saw somebody complain once that a show that was running at the park needed to be changed out because it was old and stale. It was less than one year old!

So I love the place.

In other news, the shakeup is over at work. I got the job I wanted, and I'm going to the online staff, working basically a wire editor job there, but it's technically a producer job.

I'm looking forward to it and I'm nervous, all that. Wish me luck.

New blogger site

I hate that I had to migrate my blog to the new Google site.

I know it's not a big deal, but they present you with a page when you sign on that gives you the option ... then you realize there IS no option. You HAVE to move.

AAAArgh.

I was going to post about something else, but now this made me forget.

I got a chain-email from a friend.

I'll forgive him.

It was one of those that tells you something about your friend's life. I liked learning more about him, and I went ahead and filled it out and sent it back. I only sent to him tho, instead of the 5 or 10 or whatever friends. I don't like to send stuff out that I don't like to get myself.

Instead, I'll post it here!

I can blog again!

For some reason, my blogger site doesn't work well from work now. So I haven't been posting, as you can tell. I found a workaround.

So they're dropping my job here at the paper. I have to apply for a new position ... in a new spot. It's stressful, yes, but I'm supposed to still have a job here SOMEwhere. I'll keep you posted.
