Breaking the Law?
I managed to get pulled over last night. It was actually really dumb. I was at stop sign and when it was clear I let off the break to go. As I looked back there was a car coming so I tried to stop, but ended up rolling out a little too far. This car happened to be a cop, which was fine, I totally expected to get pulled over because I pretty much deserved it. The guy was obviously crabby about something though, which is really what made it stupid. It really was a relatively small thing, like when you accidentally pull out a little in the parking lot when you can't see, but the guy made it out like I was some kind of retard or something... I think he though I was trying to zoom out in front of him, which wasn't the case, but anyway, I didn't get a ticket of any sort.written at 3:32 PM

Doggy!
Okay, so I haven't written in a while even though I've had a lot going on. I did finally got a dog. She's a Boxer/Pit Bull mix and is about 8 or 9 months old, so she still a puppy but not completely untrained. Her name is Zoa. I got her at the shelter in superior, they apparently just found her running around alone. She's really cute and super friendly, I'll post some pictures later. It'll be interesting to see how things go. She seems to be house broken, but lately it seems like she's been crapping in my house on purpose almost... The last three days she's waited for the 2 minuets when I'm in the bathroom or something. This morning she went before I even got up. I think it's because she got up on the bed in the middle of the night and I kicked her off, so I think she was getting back at me. And she always knows that she's in trouble, so I'm not sure what she's doing. Needless to say we're gonna have a few new rules until she figures it out. I do plan on taking her to obedience training as soon as I can, so hopefully that helps.written at 3:40 PM

How's it Going?
I had a couple of calls last night to see how I was doing, so I thought I'd give an update. Work still sucks. It's getting better... maybe? Things have been running "relatively" smooth, but of course I'll never get to rest. The latest issue is a giant pain and I barely know anything about it. Here's the deal. Every time a student shows interest in the campus, even if they're like 2, they get entered into a database so that when it's the magical year to try and recruit them, we know who to call etc. Normally the number of these prospective students is pretty much the same every, give or take some. Well this year we're somehow thousands of students short... and they just figured this out (even though they're constantly getting reports about it)... and now it's my job to figure out why, when I hardly know anything about it. I did find that students were being entered for the wrong year i some cases and I found about 2,500 stuck in a process that wasn't running. As for the other 3,500... I don't know. The real problem is that it takes FOREVER to get them entered... At least now I have my Mac to cheer me up.Outside of work, things have been going pretty well. I've been in my house now for one whole month. I'm really liking it, it's defiantly the nicest place I've lived, which is good because I'm kind of stuck with it. I made my first mortgage payment last week, which knowing that I'd be writing a check for that much every month from now on was kind of an interesting feeling. I've got a few plans for it in the near future including tearing up the carpet and painting. For now nothing that costs too much.
A friend has been living there the past month. It's been nice to have someone to hang out with still and go see movies and stuff. He'll be moving pretty much any day now into his own apartment, which in ways is kind of disappointing, but that's okay I guess. I think he feels kind of the same way, but maybe he just likes not having to pay rent :) Which means more then ever, it's time to get a dog! I've been looking online and went to one of the shelters in town. I'm totally ready to have a dog, but not to decide which dog I want. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about getting a dog that isn't a puppy, but we'll see. Any suggestions?
