Busy week or so. Cubs are playing great ball all of a sudden, right in time. It's exciting. They're coming home for a big 9 game home stand, of which I work 5 games. With last weekends games that makes 3 weekends in a row of working, but oh well. Tuesday there was a minor league game at the ball park, which was pretty cool. It did show me that if I didn't like the team so much I wouldn't be working there though. It's a lot more of a job when you don't care what's going on on the field heh.
Some changes at the real job as well. Joe the other guy I work with was let go, so I'm back to answering phones as well as programing. For the time being anyway till they replace him. It isn't a huge deal, I was doing most of the actual work to fix problems anyway but yeah not optimal. I did get a fairly respectable raise as well though. I probably Could get more by going elsewhere, but not enough to give up the intangibles of working here (such as generally flexible schedule, lax dress code stuff like that), and put up with the hassle of looking for and changing jobs for the time being. It also means I'll definitely be moving when my lease is up to a place with a bedroom.. and probably parking. So that's a bonus. I've also been working on some pretty cool things, and fixing some problems we've had in the past so definitely is good in that respect.
