So, Where have I been?

Boston, well mostly Dedham.

The end of the first week of April my time at Midway ended.  I was pretty cool with it.  The drive was getting bad and expensive and the new department manager was a worthless fool on a good day.  So, I got home that afternoon and did something I had not done in a while.  I picked up the phone and started calling the recruiters back.  I was already scheduling interviews the next Monday and after a few really good ones, I am now at Turbine games in Westwood Ma.  Close call since I interviewed with Yahoo the day before I drove out here.  So, I am now hanging my hat here in Boston, and spending plenty of quality time in Salem.  When I get a chance I will post up some pics.  Boston, is like old house geek paradise.  I have driven past more Eastlake style places and Gothic Victorian and Italianate places than I can count.  Though I think Milwaukee has a higher Queen Ann density than there is here.  There are things out here that kind of suck though, the indian food is kind of crap, but I am very spoiled by Devon Street in Chicago, and the Thai food is runny, bland and tastless.  8^(  Kind of sad.  The whole area closes kind of early, like its built only to cater to old folks.  Also, everything about the culture seems to lean towards a prohibitionist view on drinking.

Then there is the accent and the idiomatic expressions.   I spent a lot of effort killing my use of Gems like “Alsyougottado”, now I am surrounded by it.

weak,

totally weak.
