The Eagle has Landed

It has been a few weeks. So much has changed! As a quick update, as I am at work, I have a job! It is so cool/funny how it all worked out. I emailed a friend's boss who I met about a year ago. She owns three companies so I figured what the hell... Sure enough after about 3 weeks of job searching, suit buying, and interviewing I met with Frederique Georges at the Ohana Cafe.

Freddie is a saleswoman. A talker. I think she told me the history of her companies, the latest gossip in the office, and what my job would be in the 10 minutes we had before we ordered our breakfast. For a brilliant businesswoman, as she is, she is not intimidating to me, and unlike many other business owners I have known and met she is a comfortable presence. Lucky for me, I'm her new Executive Assistant.

So even though she doesn't know I'm writing a blog at work, albeit it IS my lunch break for the record, she gives me plenty to do. If you want to see my company's website click here. I am happy about this job. I really dig the commute, seriously its awesome. I drive to La Palma and that means it is the opposite of traffic both ways. So not only do I get the advantage of driving on a wide open freeway, I get the pleasure of watching all the poor commuters going the opposite direction sit in a parking lot at 7:30am. I don't believe in karma, but I have a feeling I'll get mine for that.

Anyhow. I will do my best to continue writing amidst the new business of the 8-5 life. Leslie and I are doing really well, and we are happily adjusting to the new schedule that we both have.

Life is really awesome right now. I feel like I'm living it instead of being trapped between avoiding it and living it. I am living.

Also, to celebrate life, this Saturday I am going to risk mine. I am going skydiving for my friend Brian Crain's birthday, which was a few week ago. So if this is my last blog the answer is no. You cannot preserve my brain in hopes that one day it can be implanted in your head. Seriously, leave my brain alone.
