It's February and I can't believe that I haven't posted anything. I've done so much since I was last on here. No decision about life have been made, but things are definitely in the works.
I went to San Francisco in September and visited the Google headquarters in Mountain View. It was amazing. The campus kinda rules and I would love the chance to work there. I've drank the Google koolaid sometime between starting this job and now. It's kind of weird. I still never look for jobs, a completely new concept for me. I used to look all the time before. I guess that's what happens when you're treated relatively well and make decent money. You become content. I still sometimes wonder why I am ok with all the officey stuff that I end up doing, but it's a small part of the job so that's ok.
Anyway, this trip...I got to meet a lot of the other therapists, the New York ones are my favorite. We spent some time in Napa, I met a very cute boy whom I hung out with in San Francisco. I spent some time with Kristine, Shawn and Nicole. I went kayaking in the bay, which was awesome. It was overall great.
October was Portland and Dale time. Portland was beautiful and it was nice to get to spend time with my friends there.
The winter has been not as terrible as previous winters, or at least last winter. We've had a handful of single digit days, and I can't think of any where the actual temperature was below zero. I went to California again for two weeks around Christmas/New Year's, and I guess I avoided a boatload of snow and cold. I'm glad I missed it. It was light jacket weather in San Francisco, where I spent most of my time. I could really get used to that and maybe can soon.
My Dec 1, 2009 move goal came and went without me moving. When the day arrived I felt like a little bit of a failure. I also failed at my savings goal, but in my defense I paid $4000 to a credit card and then bought a trip to Thailand to study Thai massage. I think that it's a perfectly acceptable thing to use my savings on since it's something that I've wanted to do for the past six years and it will help me at work, hopefully.
I leave in a little over a week. I'm getting completely nervous and excited. I've already packed pretty much everything. I just need to throw shoes in there. I'll have a full day in Seoul, South Korea on the way there and back. I've been in contact with Paul Kim and Emily to see if they have ideas/can hang out for the day. I think I'll be able to hang out with Paul but not Emily, which is odd since I've known Emily forever and have hung out with her quite a bit and hardly know Paul at all.
There's basically a blizzard outside. Sigh. They've also cut the number of buses so I'm sure it will be a long wait for a full bus that goes really slowly through the weather. At least Lola loves the snow and all the shoveling makes my lack of gym visits less of a problem.
