Slacking off

Well it appears that I've been a bit lazy in updating this blog during this month. I'll try to remedy it in the coming weeks.

First things first I'll be back in the US from September 19th through the 29th visiting a combination of Erie/McKean, Pittsburgh, and New Orleans. It should be a lot of fun and I'm excited to get to see everyone. Its hard to believe that I've been away for over 3 months already or that I'm over half way done. If you're going to be in any of those places let me know so that I can be sure to come visit.

Work has been a little hectic lately (and probably the reason for the lack of posts). Our residents from China rotated again (every three months) so we have new guys in here which means ... they need broken in. They're getting there, but its going to take some time. It's also harder because our last residents spoke English very well and these guys aren't quite as good. Mr. Chen was also a lot of fun because he was around my age (26) and we could relate on a lot of things.

We've also had a few visitors from our US customers too, so we've been showing them around setting them at ease about the area / company and generally working a lot with them. Which can make for some pretty long hectic days.

Life outside of work has been pretty good too. I haven't been doing too much on the weekends, just tooling around the city taking it easy. I think that I'll travel more once I get back from this break because the weather will be less hot and/or rainy than it currently is. I'm also expecting fall to be very good with all the mountains and trees everywhere, so I'll try to take a lot of pictures to share with everyone.
