On mom’s advice, I officially added a shaver to my Amazon list. She said that my Uncle and Grandfather have been using a Norelco tripleheads with no complaints and that my dad had a Braun self-cleaning that was a disaster. I looked into the Norelcos, and found the ones that dispense gel or lotion the most appealing. So I added one.

Work has been going well! The initial meeting/training for the Adventure Ed position went great. I’m working with a few cool people and the way the day(s) work is much clearer to me, now. More trainings for that on Monday and Tuesday, and then it really begins the following week. I had my first official day as desk staff at the Y, tonight, and I learned a bit of the other desk-related jobs from the night’s facility manager. We also talked a lot about other programs, team-building, teen center type stuff, and she turned out to be a very like-minded individual. So that made the night fun. Clean-up took a little longer than expected, but otherwise, not a bad gig. Looking forward to picking up a few extra hours at their rock wall and possibly in that community service program.

In other news, on Monday, I am expecting a shipment of parts from Dell. These include a motherboard, fans, and video card replacement for my laptop. I have no idea how this super dude, Neil, found my site, but apparently this is an amazing case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease. I’ve talked quite a bit about my poor Dell laptop over the past few years, all its ups and downs, and after my last post about it and the idea of replacing it with a macbook pro, I got an eMail from Neil from Dell. After a conversation and some research by him, he agreed that the situation was never truly resolved and put in an order for a bunch of parts. So I get to take apart my Dell and give it some fresh hardware. I’ll let y’all know how it goes.
