There has been a lot of change in a very short amount of time. This is the summary of the just the past month or so. Let us start with work.
I got a contract job out in KC that was a temporary gig, this is scheduled to end on Jan 8th. I finished the second interview yesterday and I got the job. It is out off of Warson so the drive to work won't be too bad from my place in Lake Saint Louis and so I will be keeping that apartment. It is a fulltime position with a good group of people so it looks like I will finally have some stability. The company is ITI and it is a really great work environment. I will be starting there on Jan 11th so there will be no gap in work, which is always a nice thing. Because these people do work primarily with the government and law enforcement they have adopted their grooming policy, which leads too....
A Haircut.
Yes, it happened there are pictures for proof in the extended entry. You can go look for yourself and make your own judgment. I has been 10 years since I last got a real haircut and I would say they took out about 20 inches. I also have to not wear my earrings. The job offer was contingent upon these things and I would much rather work then have long hair and so the sacrifices were made and a job has been had.
A Relationship.
I am dating again, some of you know her, it is Wynnie. I am happy and so is she and so I would expect that everyone will likely being seeing a bit more of her as time passes on. I think it is going to work out well and for just being happy is good enough for me.
I have good friends, and nice place to live, a good job and a happy relationship. I am happy with how things are for me. Those of you in the giving spirit might consider sending warm coats to those in hell as I am sure it is a bit nippy down there just at this moment.

ZOMG Matt! I'm both astounded and in shock! Looking forward to seeing you at the New Years party, though... But it looks really good!
You are not quite bitter enough in this entry. Please try again.
Job good. Haircut good. Girl excellent.
New Year, more internet time. Catch me on chat soon, I promise.
