My Chicago update

Alright... I know it's been a while but I've been really busy... Plus I won't have Internet access till the 20th, so I'm trying to do this at work... So lets see...

Chicago is good. The only thing that's not so great is the damn weather. Last weekend I was sweating my ass off! I thought I was back in South Florida. And today I had on long sleeves and a jacket just to walk the dog. I am so going to get sick...

The job is good... They are paying me more money than my last "real" job to do less work... Well, maybe not so much less work... Ok, yeah, less work... but really it's not the quantity of the work. It's the fact that the work is easy and I'm not stressed! I come in, do what I gotta do, and go home... No nightmares about code... no dreams about performance tests and audit logs than can run on forever... I'm good here.

And the apartment is great! I love it! It's sooo cute. It's a one bedroom with a separate dinning and living room. And it has a sun room! Plus it's on the third floor. I can feel my pants getting a little big already. The only negative is that when the dog has to pee in the middle of the night, he better hold it! Pictures will definitely follow.

And one more bit of news... Now don't yell at me... Tico is coming up. I still love him... I have to give him a chance to prove himself. He knows he did wrong and was the cause of all of our issues, which is a good thing. Plus, I am at the point where he has one shot and one shot only. I have no problems telling him to pack his shit and sending him back to Miami on his own if he fucks up. Basically he has 6 months... If I don't like where we are in 6 months time, he's gone. I do love him and I want it to work out, but I'm not stupid and I'm not going to just let things go... So, I'll keep you updated on that front as well...

Alright, gotta get back to work!
