Not much has been going on with me here in New Orleans. I work everyday (although I use the term "work" very loosely) and then make the hour-long commute home. It sucks. I left my old job at the engineering firm in Metairie because I knew it was only a matter of time before I was laid off and got offered a position in downtown New Orleans for the same pay. So naturally I took it and it's been a pain in my butt ever since. It's a temp-to-perm job, so I had doubts about leaving my already "permanent" job and coming to this one. I also lost benefits like insurance, paid time off, holidays, and vacation, NOT TO MENTION the extra commute time and gas usage. So, all in all, I'm losing money and time. But, I still have a job, albeit one I dislike very much. I'm very disappointed in my work life right now. It'll all work out eventually, I just need to find my way.
However, another area of my life is going extremely well, and wouldn't you know, it just happens to be my love life. I've been dating Todd for two and a half years now and he's the love of my life. Everything (EVERYTHING) I had before was nothing until I met him. I know most of you haven't had the privilege of meeting him, but he's the greatest. He's funny, highly intelligent, sociable, has great respect and love for his family, is a big hunk of blonde-haired blue-eyed man, and for whatever reason, he loves me. He can put up with my crap and has taught me the real meaning of love. This one's for forever.
Okay, enough sap. I have a new niece! Her name is Gabriella Nicole and she's teeny-tiny. Sadly, I have only gotten to see her once, when she was born. Georgia loves her little sister and hopefully they won't fight too much in the next 18 years....
