A review

|
I started the year, by bailing on a ski trip so I could do a series of job interviews in Saint Louis.  I ended up receiving a position as a consultant with SBS Creatix Inc.  I moved down to MO in the first week of February.  I have since then had three friends get married and attended one of the weddings.  I have worked on two major projects at my contract position and then ended up having the contract end on the last day of the year.  I bought my R1200C BMW motorcycle which I throughly enjoy riding.  I did various bits of work on the Tahoe the hardest of which was the intake manifold gasket replacement.  I bought a PS3 and some BD movies (soooo pretty).  I changed from charter and cablecards to AT&T Uverse which resulted in the selling of my TivoHD.  I have also gotten a short renewal on my mac cult membership by getting a 16gig iPhone.  The nice thing about this is almost everyone I know is on AT&T wireless which does nice to my phone bill.  Many things were done, sometimes with others and sometimes not.  I have signed a lease for another 12 months at my current place, implying that I expect to still be well employed after the end of the year.  I have reconnected with some old friends, some for only a few emails and some for much more regular chats.  My personal life is still just me and the quiet, and for now I think that is fine.  

Currently Next years' goals are pretty much remain employed and crawl further out of debt.  I think I want to keep it simple this time around.
