Part-Time Associate

Yesterday was my last day working on a full-time basis at DeJong Design Associates since I return to school on Monday. They would still like me to work there on a part-time basis as my schedule permits so I guess I'm not officially leaving. My school schedule keeps changing drastically and still isn't fully figured out so it's hard to say how many times a week I'll be able to go in to the office. I hope it works out because I really enjoy working there. The job is great and the people are great. I'm going to try and see if I can get any credit or anything for some of my classes since I've been working in the industry for the past four months and maybe that will lighten my schedule a bit. I am excited to go back to school but its a hard trade to go from working and making money to studying and doing homework. It's my last year though so I'll be back in the workforce before I know it. Thanks be to Dave for the hook-up and thanks be to Marvin for being so accommodating with my schedule during the past four months and now during school.

Baby Shots

Emma turned 2 months old yesterday and to celebrate Tammy took her to the doctor to get some needles! She had three shots in her legs and boy did she cry. I wasn't there but Tammy said she's never seen her cry like that before. I guess there is a burning sensation that comes along with the stabbing sensation. She's more than fine now though. I think it must take a special sort of someone to poke babies with needles all day for a living. Tammy drove me to work in the morning so she could have the car and we brought Emma in to show her to everyone in the office. We took her out of her car seat and discovered she had pooed all over herself and the seat. Not a big deal but it was green slimy stuff and there was a client meeting goin on and no place to really clean her up. We ended up cleaning her off in the gym next door on one of the mats. No one will be told. It took about 45 minutes to deal with but everyone at the office is pretty understanding as almost everyone there has young children of their own. They weighed Emma at her poke session and she's still only about 10 and a half pounds. Thats unusual for Tammy's side of the family and it puts Emma in the less than 50th percentile for weight but the 90th percentile for height. I have been noticing some chubb forming on her bones lately though so hopefully she starts filling out soon.

Grandpa Olsen's Birthday

Tammy's Dad turns 56 today so we wish him a happy one. The whole family minus Arlen went to the White Spot last night for dinner to celebrate. I had never been to a White Spot before. The food was ok but the menus had old dish rag stink all over them so it turned me off eating right from the get go. Besides that and almost hitting a hobo on the way home, we had a pretty fun night.
