Well if you can’t tell, I’ve been really busy.

Nico left for Chicago early, early Tuesday morning. This was his last trip for the Firestone internship. Much to his pleasure, they ended with a bang: an autocross. Of course, he was totally in his element and shined like a star. If they don’t want to offer him a rock star job, they are out of their minds.

I’ve been dealing with a whole other set of issues. I am not sure that I want to stay at my job. I am not enjoying it and the company has definite issues. They are totally unorganized and in the midst of major changes. I’ve been working until 5:45 or 6:00 every night. And I’m salaried. :(

On top of the icky job situation, the University offered me a position to teach a 1 credit hour course. I accepted, but am hoping that they have more courses for me next semester. It’s really too bad that I turned down the Career Services assistantship. But, I didn’t know that I was going to stay here for my graduate work. Hindsight is 20/20.

The weather has been really miserable. We are frying down here. But that’s the Midwest in August!

There is some good news… our neighbor sold her house. She made a nice profit. Looks like the housing market here isn’t doing as bad as the rest of the country. Hopefully, we’ll be in the same boat in a year or so.

More later…
