yep, me again

Refer back to last posting: I totally fell flat on keeping this updated. Ah well, I knew it would happen. I just hope no one has been holding their breath waiting for this post. They would be long dead by now...

So I got promoted at work. Kinda. I'm now the trainer for the waitstaff. I don't actually get paid more (unless I am actually training) but I do get around 35 hours a week now, so there is some fiscal compensation. I still don't like going and I'm still looking for more gainful employment. I applied at The Atrium, a more upscale restaurant downtown. I also submitted my resume to XO again. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed on both.

Melissa and I are going on a year now. It's been great. Definately the highlight of my Ponderosa career was meeting, dating, and loving her. We're thinking about getting an apartment within the next couple of months... but we'll have to see where our finances are then. I'm really hoping XO calls this time.

She and I have gone to a few concerts in the last couple months. Duran Duran in Toronto was incredible. Garbage at State Theatre in Detroit was awesome. And next month it's Coldplay with Rilo Kiley at DTE. Music has been great lately with new CD's from Gorillaz and Coldplay, Live 8 was excellent, and all these shows. Just waiting on news for a Radiohead tour / album...

I have to run off to Pondo now, hopefully I'll give another update soon.
