Well, nothing earthshaking really going on with me. I am tutoring a few people in calculus and chemistry -- I had no idea I could make so much for doing something so easy. Going home to Lake Arthur this weekend to visit my parents -- going to try to get some fishing in while I'm there, but it looks like its going to rain, so I don't know if I will bother taking my rod & reel.

My first batch of beer is coming along nicely. All I have to do is rack it now. It tastes excellent -- the guy at Marcello's recommmended this chocolate barley that gives it a really interesting taste. Now I have to go back and bet enough bottles for about 3 gallons of beer. I think I am going to brew a hard cider next.

Well, the last few weeks has been kind of a whirlwind. I had an interview with a local chemical manufacturer here in Lafayette last week. Things seemed to go pretty swimmingly there, I hope to hear back from them soon. Today was a phone interview for a position with Cargill in Memphis. The job sounds interesting -- instrument troubleshooter -- and it would be cool to work and live in Memphis. Cargill is certainly a big company and working for a multinational has it advantages, like unlimited promotion, travel, educational benefits, blah de blah blah. (Beats the hell out of flippin' bungers.)
I am kind of torn between work and school right now because I am so used to having money. If it is the root of all evil, I am at least comfortable in my evil. I dig new shit, what can I say? I have this tech addiction that I have had to put on hold and I really want a damned iPhone. That would be chickenfeed at the rate I would be making at Cargill. I don't know, I am usually pretty descisive, but I am vacillating about this whole work v. school thing.

Well, things have changed up quite a bit in my lafe lately. I am back in school working on a second bachelor's -- this time in chemical engineering. I am taking summer classes at UL Lafayette and generally enjoying school life again, although it has whole new sets of stressors now at 38. Taking Differential Equations on the summer fast track is making me a nervous wreck after not having used calculus for about 15 years...

Ugh, stuck at the house all alone. Surf, post, download ad infinitum. Yukko. At least I can chat on Alt.

OK, blah blah blah. I suppose this option is for people with interesting lives... I do have a settlement from a freaking car wreck I go into in 2004 coming in, so I gues I have something to look forward to in this sick little bubble caled my life. WTF are all the Louisiana SGers?
