It's Lonely In Cyberspace

No responses to the previous post. That's what you get when you take a 2 month vacation from blogging.

KyKy and The Madster are on a one week service trip at the Lake Traverse Reservation. It's very odd to have them gone and completely out of touch. No cell phones. No access to computers. Funny how in the last 15 years or so, we've created all these new modes of communication and we use them. I'm not a huge cell phone user or emailer, but these things have generally been at my disposal and I've used them on occasion to communicate with friends near and far. When KyKy was in China this spring she sent some email dispatches and called on her cousin's international cell phone. This week - nothing, and she's just over the border in South Dakota. All we've heard is that they made it there ok. Weird. I guess this means we'll have to sit down face to face and talk to them when they get home. Or they could call from their bedrooms on their cell phones.

Back From Blogging Vacation

After the last comment section smackdown, I lost interest in blogging about stuff. I still don't know whether I'm interested in keeping up with it, since not-blogging is the new blogging. If anyone happens to read this, check in with a comment and prove to me that there is at least someone who looked at this garbage.

Things are winding down for me at Test Equipment World Domination Headquarters. I'm training in Douglas on the job and counting the days until I start working at Sunrise Cyclery. Looks like it will be July 8th or thereabouts. I'm going to start there as a regular employee, with an option to buy into the shop at a later date. I'm excited to start work there, but apprehensive because I won't be making as much money as I am now, not that I'm earning the equivalent of a king's ransome at this job. TOYH has started nursing in earnest and she'll be pulling down a good paycheck, but a sigificant chunk will be eaten up by health insurance and school loan payback. Sigh.
