On my new job

It's been a couple months I see... The biggest thing happening in my world is I finally had enough of the duck and I quit. I lined up a contract job in Atlanta while I look for a permanent position (in Orlando!). I would say it's a little scary but I'll be honest, I don't really think about it enough to be scared. I'm happiest in my most oblivious, apathetic state.

So, Monday through Thursdays I drive up to Atlanta and stay at my FIL's farm. It's very quiet up here and only a half-hour drive to work (w/o traffic). I couldn't live in Atlanta all the time, but the farm is nice and quiet at night, quieter than Columbus. Except for when it storms and Jackson, our 100-pound retriever mutt, needs comforting so he jumps up in the bed (a single bed, mind). I didn't get much sleep the first few nights this week because of some storms.

I thought I would do more blogging when I was away from home during the weeks, but I've found that working 10+ hours a day staring at the computer just doesn't make me want to go back to the farm at night and blog. I'm pretty much forcing myself to do this tonight. It's 8pm and I just got home not an hour ago and I'll be asleep in another two and then all over again. The nice thing about my schedule is it's only Monday through Thursday.

When I went home last week, I had to work at my old job on Friday and then Ash and I went to see Knocked Up in the afternoon. Pretty funny movie, and I'd recommend it. Not as LOL funny as I was hoping for, but we liked it.

Two videos to watch (NSFW (not safe for work)):

Bud Light "Swear Jar" commercial

Will Ferrell "Landlord"

And a couple of funny websites a fellow geezer posted up today:
