Times Are Changing

It's now the second week since I moved offices to San Ramon. I don't miss commuting. I used to drive 6 miles, now I average 20-35 depending on where I drive from. If you've ever seen office space, that is how are cubes are set up now. High walls and little interaction with my team. Funny thing is we just yell over the cubes while the rest of the office is doing there own thing.

I know as the year progresses, all the other divisions will find out that we are the ones that always bring food and desserts. I love to cook and bake and so do some others on my team. And everyone likes to eat. Eat, drink and good times. It helps when the work day is long.

I read last week that I should strengthen my relationships with my friends in something. It made me think about all the people I've known for a few years and some I've know for 10+ years. It's funny how sometimes we don't always keep in touch, but after we start talking it's like time never moved.

One thing I tried to do, is not forget birthdays anymore. I always forgot people's birthdays, even my own parents. I would get there's mixed up with my cousin's birthday. Well now I write it down. For those who know me well know I always have so much going on, that I rarely sleep and relaxation is something that is hard for me to do.

At one time the only way to relax would be to go out and party. Which meant drinking, and I mean a lot. Since I had a high tolerance I would drink a lot and get so messed up sometimes I would forget. That is def not good. I've blacked out at least 6 times in my life. Sometimes I got sick, sometimes not. But the crazy thing is, even when I was blacked out I could still react to things. Well at least that is what people told me.

This past weekend I had 2 drinks after not drinking for 2 weeks. That may sound like short time and it is, but when you are around people who are partying and drinking and offering free drinks, it took will power to just say no.

Well the year is 3/4 done and I'm going to a point in my life when there will be another big change. Since I've recently gone into asset protection and planning, went more into the automotive scene, and may get into the club promoting scene it will turn out to be another busy year. Plus doing web design in the hours I'm not sleeping.

Now with the club promo stuff, it will actually be just one club, since a family member of mine has a stake in it. Details will come when the time is right.

Well to my friends old and new, thank you the good times and being around when times were less than grand.

Like one of my friends said, sometimes I don't know what to say, because it seems so unimportant, well at least you let your friends know your still around.
