Ahhh, feels good to be back in my comfy office chair here at RIVCO. Got my little space heater goin', the Bob and Brian Morning Show on internet radio, my Warm Mouse keepin' my clickin' fingers toasty, and a good week's worth of CAD work lined up for me with more to come.
Hope everybody had a good Christmas & New Year's while I was gone. Got a pretty money gift from my parents; a Logitech MOMO force feedback steering wheel for my laptop. Very nice wheel for my racing sims, feels comfortable and with the force feedback at full bore it's all I can do to keep the wheel straight. Now I just gotta wait for my laptop to get back from HP service. They had a "recall" of sorts on my model for a problem with the left hinge constantly breaking. Coincidentally it also caught a virus a couple weeks after Christmas, so once it gets back I'm going to have my goofy brother wipe the harddrive & reinstall Windows. Technology, what'cha gonna do? Also got a new sponsor for the R/C racing, a company called SteelMX Optics. I'm getting 50% off on their full line of motocross & snowboarding goggles, sunglasses, and clothing. Depending on what my money situation looks like come spring, I'd like to pick up a new bigblock nitro truck to race this summer (the new Team Associated SC8), but if the $700 price tag keeps that from happening I'll probably continue to run my electric truck all year.
Unemployment was allright, I think I was getting something like $217 a week, enough for a kid still living at home and driving a 4-cylinder 2.2L light pickup, and enough to pay entry fees at the races. I could've come back a little earlier in the month but after talking with my supervisor he said he was still generating work for me and didn't want to jeopardize my unemployment by coming in to work only 1 or 2 days a week.
So, my fellow Alibreans, wha'did I miss?
