From the depths, I have returned.  Anyone miss me?

Updates.. updates.. let's see....

My last post is from June.  Wow, that's a long time ago.  What's happened since then?

Well, I moved out of that house in October.  I'm living back home with the parents for the time being.  My landlord turned out to be a dooshbag though.  Eddy and I cleaned that place top to bottom, and it LOOKED REALLY GOOD.  But he still refused to give me back my deposit, trying to claim that the carpet needed to be replaced (which was total BS).

I was totally ready to take him to court over it, but my lawyer mentioned something that made me decide to just drop it completely.  She stated that if he was forced to write us a check, he would've ended up having to write it to me, Eddy, Haylee and Liz.  After thinking really hard about it, I'd rather lose the deposit than to speak to either one of those two ever again.

I quit my job, and starting working at a new place as a contracter.  I love this new job, basically being an IT helpdesk type for a company called Magellan.  No more call center work, thank God!

Lindsey and I are still together.  I've been very happy with her.  We've had almost no drama for the past 7 months.  For Christmas, I built her a computer.  Here are the specs:

Athlon 64 2800+

512mb PC3200 DDR Ram

Sapphire Radeon 9600XT

Some MSI motherboard

80GB hard drive (Western Digital)

17" Flat Panel monitor

2.1 speaker system made by Cyber Acoustics

All-in-all, it came to about $800 total for a complete system.  I totally caught her off guard with it.  She kept talking about how she wanted a computer so bad, but couldn't afford one.

More recently, though, she got me back.  She bought me a BFG 7800 GS for Valentine's Day!  She's definately a keeper

With my job, my contract is ending at the end of February, so I'll need to stick my resume out there again and see if I can get another job similiar to this one.  I love working help desk/IT stuff.  And the pay isn't bad either.
