Now, onto bigger and better things! I have finally graduated from the ranks of college student to real-life participant. Whatever that means. After a brief jaunt to Great Britain to visit my British friends, I spent the best part of the summer looking for a job. Luckily one found me. After submitting my resume 4 months prior, I received a call from Lockheed Martin here in Denver. That same day everything started happening. I had several interviews (a police department, a paper producing comapny, a mortgage company, a couple of school related places, just to name a few).
It boiled down to a two company race, Lockheed Martin here in Denver and Tuttle & Co, back in Tacoma. Both wanted me to be a Software Engineer (of sorts) and both had great offers. I decided that Lockheed's package was better and had them fly me out to Tacoma to get my personal belongings. They were kind enough to pay for a U-Haul as well as temporary living expenses here in Denver while I found a permanent place to live.
While in Tacoma, my girlfriend Erin decided to move down with me. We found ourselves a nice little 2 bedroom apartment with all the amenities...pictures to be posted soon! I'm also proud to say that she has found herself a nice job after two not so nice jobs and we both are feeling rather old (mature is probably the better word).
Lockheed has been great to me so far as I realized it is much nicer getting paid to program computers as opposed to paying to do the same thing, which is what I was doing for the last four years! Unfortunately for UPS, I think I could've done this same job without the majority of the training that I received there...but granted, there were other valuable aspects of college that I would never regret.
Anyway, for those of you that care, and want to know more about my job, e-mail me.
Aside from that, the only other exciting thing that happened to me was my Acura of just 11 months in age, was completely totalled on August 15th. A crazy man (or woman) drove me and my girlfriend off of the road trying to change lanes while we were there...the condensed version is that we hit a signpost in the median of the highway which saved our lives because it prevented us from entering oncoming traffic. We escaped with simply some short-term whiplash and a minor cut on my girlfriend's hand which has since almost completely healed.
Well, I've rambled for quite some time now. I hope I haven't bored you to death...I will try my best to keep this page up to date but no strong promises will be made as my work starts to grow. Catch ya all later.
