A wordy update.

I have been really bad about updating my blog lately. Tisk tisk I know.

They have been introducing a lot of new technology at work lately and I have been trying to keep up. The idea of it all is for us to "go green" which I believe is a good thing. The amount of paper we use for a industry that is based on a digital format now it ridiculous. We are introducing a new sales process as well as updating the ancient art of paper time sheets to a new automated system that will have our employees punching in and out real time. All good things going on here.

Outside of work I have been hassling with the process of purchasing a new vehicle, a new jeep to be exact. I believe that this sales process is the worst I have ever encountered. In my own line of work I try to make sure that the guests are quickly tended too and happy with every aspect of the transaction. Car sales...not so much. This is not to mention the hassle of getting a bank approval on anything these days. I knew the economy was bad but how can it get better if the banks are so stingy on giving loans. I make more than enough now to cover a loan and I still had to have a co-signer. Apparently I have an insufficient credit history, 5 years is not enough, get credit when your 10 and you might have a good head start.

Perhaps the biggest news I have is my trip for home that is fast approaching. That's right I will be home soon and expect to see everyone I can in the very short time I will be there. I plan on being in on the 28th of Feb. and I will be leaving March 2nd in the evening. I feel the best way for me to accomodate everyone is an evening in the Ann Arbor area. Drinking and friends will be involved and I am highly looking forward to it.

Overall things are good out here on the front range, I am a bit down about the lack of snow we receive here though. It will snow 3 inches and be gone by the afternoon but I suppose there is enough in the mountains for everyone.

I was a bit long winded on this one.
