Take a Risk

I found great quote in the September issue of Money today, I wanted to share:

"There comes a day when you have to decide whether to take the risk in the first place. My dad used to tell a joke about a guy praying to God every day, 'Please let me win the lottery, please let me win the lottery!' And one day God's voice booms down and says, 'Work with me, buddy. Buy a ticket'"

Meebo Me!

So, I've been back for almost a month now. It seems like a long, long time actually....

Things with the job are well, interesting. I met the client where I will be doing my first project. They seem like really nice people, so hopefully everything will go smoothly. I'm also doing support.
Other than that I'm keeping myself busy.. Trying not to spend too much time idly. I should be heading back to Munich for the Oktoberfest at the end of September. Speaking of Oktoberfest. There are plans in the workings for organizing a tour group for next year, so if anyone is interested in making the pilgrimage. Just let me know. I'll post more details later.


I also wanted to post something new that I found. If you're anything like me, you have logins in and friends using various messengers. I normally use a stand alone application called Trillian (trillian.com), but I found a browser based application called Meebo that supports YAHOO!, MSN, AOL, and JABBER. The best part is that it runs in a browser window so you don't have to install any software. {don't let the IT guys in your office now about this though ;) } It's great for if you are traveling and using a computer at a CyberCafe. Check it out!

Back in the USA!

So, I made it back to across the big lake. Now it is off to work. It had a bit of a surprise when I got home. My car isn't working. For smoe reason it keeps overheating. I'm getting the thermostat changed, but no one is positive this will solve the problem. Plus, there is a lot of labor involved just to get to it. So, if this doesn't solve the problem I may just trade it in for something new. That would be cool anyway.
The first day in the office here was a bit of a struggle. Let me just say that organization is not the key with this company. It started out as a mess so we'll see how it goes from her.
I just picked up a new cell phone on Sunday, so I have a new number. I don't want to put it on my blog, so I am going to send out a mass message. If for some reason I missed anyone, email me and let me know...
