Changes

So, as threatened, I have changed the name to reflect my new location. For the one or 2 lonely people who actually look at my thoughts and comments, sorry if it offends. Deal with it.

So onto what's been going on I guess. It's been not quite 2 weeks since my last post, and it's been kind of busy. Work has been going well, although slower than I would have thought. I think I may have to sit on my controller a little, and get him to understand that some deadlines need to be fucking done when they are due. It pisses the bank off when they don't get their information on a timely basis. Other than that, it's going pretty well. Took one day last week to go hunting with the president and one of the PE guys. The hunting wasn't good, but the visit was great and we got to bond a little.

On the personal side, everyone is still adjusting to new schools, new location etc. The GCs are getting used to their school and while there is still a fair amount of fussing about it and fussing about how much they miss their old school, I've noticed that the fussing tends to arise more when there is a lot of homework or a day when things didn't go well. I think they'll be okay with some time and some counseling from Mom and Dad.

On the good front, my Tigers finished out the year well, crushing A&M in the Cotton Bowl, and winning me $10 dollars and even more valuable bragging rights from my good friend who attended A&M. The Saints stunk it up in their post season, falling to Seattle in a shocker that pained me to watch. The only good thing about the game was watching with a herd of Saints fans rather than watching by myself in Fl.

So that's it for now, I'll try update periodically in the future, I've been much more religious about it recently, so hopefully that will continue.

Home Sweet Home

Well, I'm officially back in La and officially back in the oilfield. It feels pretty fucking good too, if I have to be honest with you. I've been wearing jeans to work this week, and I kind of like it. I've had plate lunches and Popeyes for lunch, and I kind of like that also.

Plus, I've waited so long to post this, that it's now Monday morning. Not a great weekend, but I guess it could have been worse. Received the rest of our belongings from the moving company yesterday....even beat the rain and pretty much got everything, at least what was on our inventory sheets. Let me say that I'm not a big fan of the packing job done by the people sent by Allied in Naples. They really didn't do what I would consider to be a first class job, and I hope and pray that they packed the china and so forth as well as I hope they did.

Back at work this morning, and I guess we'll see what the day holds. Looks like the weather here is improving, and I've got people coming in tomorrow, so we'll see what gets done today.

packing up

Well, we spent yesterday packing boxes of non-breakable stuff, and cleaning up thing. Have another load of crap that needs to go to Goodwill, I guess that stuff can go tomorrow. The people coming to buy the jeep can't come until Tuesday, and that makes me very nervous. If they don't show, or if they can't pick it up until later, I'm going to have to make a tough decision about taking it with me. Plus, it's a pain in the ass because I had hoped to use the garage to stage stuff for the move.
