Vacation, climbing the walls, and toxins

without comments

Well, my vacation is quickly coming to an end. The week seemed to fly past — I managed to squeeze in a bike ride with Jess and a trip to Erie to visit with the parents, install a printer on my Grandmother’s Linux box (yes, that’s right — my grandma runs linux) and visit with JustBill and his new MythTV box .

Today was quite an interesting day — Jess and I went to MadMex for lunch and then I went out and had a massage (from a massage therapist –not a whore who rubs your shoulders). Massages are something I wish I could afford more often — they are amazingly relaxing.

I ended my evening out by going to The Climbing Wall and doing my best impression of Spiderman — albeit a fat out-of-shape Spiderman but Spiderman none-the-less. It was a really good time – - for anyone looking for a good work out, I would highly recommend this — it was fun and challenging. I’m expecting to be quite sore tomorrow.

Tomorrow should be a nice wrap up to the week — Jess and I are discussing Kayaking and possibly a visit to the PPG Aquarium at the Pittsburgh Zoo.

Resignation Day

with one comment

The deed is done. I have officially accepted a position with a company I used to work for previously (I’m intentionaly being vague until all the details are worked out) and I have turned in my resignation to the company that I currently work for.

It has created an interesting situation…I am an employee of Company A who has me contracted out to Company B. I resigned to Company A approximately 5 hours ago and it appears that they have not notified Company B that I am leaving. I’m going to give them some time to let their customer (Company B) know that they will be short one employee in a couple weeks — otherwise, I will break the news to them. It just seems to me that it falls with them to notify their customer.
