Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Helping my mom and dad move from their home of almost 49 years. It's......strange. Got everything in their new apartment pretty much. Waiting for Verizon to show up.

Kinda sad that the house I still consider my home (not my condo) is no longer a part of my family's life.

Found out yesterday that I'm getting a new supervisor. The group is doing a minor re-org, that actually makes sense. My old supervisor had a huge group to manage, so they're trying to reduce his workload a bit. We're bringing in a new chief engineer from another group that I work with regularly, and he will be my new supervisor. I've worked with him extensively in the past, he was the other engineer I traveled to Ecuador with earlier this year. Overall, I think this is a good thing, since the new guy has a really handle on the product and the situations we're in, as well as a common disdain for the sales and marketing group.

When we moved my grandpa out of his house, one that he actually built himself, it was indeed weird. Only house he and my grandma ever had.

I was surprised at how quickly I started referring to my parent's place in Texas as "home". I've never lived in Texas, but it still feels like a trip home when I go to visit my parents.

It is still weird to think that I no longer have a connection to where I grew up. I could go visit my hometown, but have nowhere to stay.

Same for me. My parents retired and left my hometown in 95 and we only lived there because that's where my dad's job was. No relatives there whatsoever.


Luckily, they retired to the area where we spent parts of every summer of my childhood (Eagle River, WI area), so it's always been a second home to me and I have memories there that go back to the early 70s.


I'd rather go to vacationland to visit them than Joliet, IL anyway. Not even close.

But you'd fit in better in Joliet! :p
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #173: (Insert Title)

Oh yeah, and I liked growing up in Joliet just fine. Lived on the West side (the good part) and had a nice middle class childhood.

There's just a whole lot more to do at the lake than there would have been at my old house in Joliet.

Tomorrow I have a busy day ahead. I have a trail half-marathon in the morning, and in the afternoon, I have an interview with Meijer. Yeah, it would be working for pittance, but pittance is a significant raise above squat, which is what I'm making now.

Good evening Lodge.

Today was my lucky day. I was talking to client A this morning and she gave me four tix to the Twins game on Sunday. Later in the day I was speaking to client B. He asked me what I had planned for the weekend. After I told him we were going to the cities he asked me what I was doing Saturday. He then gave me four tix to the Vikings game on Saturday night (pre season but the g boys will love it). Turns out seats to both games are absolutely sweet.
