Forgiveness...

It’s not that I hate my job. I love doing the task my job requires of me, it’s just not quite as much fun as school was. I am about to leave for Wisconsin next week, so hopefully this new project will have me up and running in no time. Ryan (the guy who sits next to me at work) and I spend a few minutes a day marveling at the amazing fantasticness of Google and their products. Every day they're coming out with some new cool program. "If Google made a virus I'd probably install it the day it was released and marvel at how efficiently and quickly it categorized the information it destroyed on my hard drive."

Over this past weekend, I had quite the array of matrimonial events. I went to John J. and Marilyn C’s wedding. It was honestly one of the more fun weddings I’ve been to. The combination of knowing both people in the couple, and a fair number of the guests made it more fun, but the atmosphere in general was a blast. Buzz even came to the wedding for about an hour and danced =) Sunday was Jess’s bridal shower, also a lot of fun, but about 10 minutes in, I realized I was the only one in the room that wasn’t married or nearly married. Oh well. I surprisingly didn’t feel left out at all, so no complaints on my end.

I am still taking my dance classes, and salsa is still fun, and ballroom is pretty good. The ballroom class is much more challenging than the salsa, but I think I’ll use salsa more. We shifted from Waltz to Tango in the ballroom class, and T-A-NG-O is pretty fun. I need to find a venue that I can practice these all in though.

Monday night I went swing dancing, and it was the night of my b-day dance, which was alright. They held it really early, so a lot of the dancers weren’t there yet, but I suppose it was for the better since after about 45 minutes, the power in the neighborhood kept flickering and eventually blew the system, so the night was called early.

On a totally different note, tomorrow is Yom Kippur, and for this, we are supposed to apologize and ask forgiveness for all we’ve done to other people over the year. I am really bad about this and did not save/make the time to call everyone, so if you are my friend, know that I have forgiven you for anything you’ve done to me, wittingly or unwittingly, and I hope you can forgive me for the same. If you have an issue please let me know if there’s something we need to work out. I can work a payoff or something ;-)
