take one down, pass it around
Well, this concludes my first year in the Sunshine state. No matter what happened I had always planned to make it at least a year, a date picked largely because of my signing bonus which I would have had to return had I quit last week. Now that the year is over I still have no plans of leaving in the near future, despite the fact that it is mentioned to me every time I talk to someone in South Carolina. My situation still isn’t exactly what I would like it to be, but thats life really. In general, they like having me around at work, and my days stay relatively busy, and of course the weather is nice (when we don’t have brush fires or hurricanes). I do like South Carolina, or should I say I like being near all you people up there in the South, but I just plain don’t know where I would work if I moved up there. If you really want me to move, find me a computer engineering job in Greenville, and then come find me.
Oh and by the way, in order to celebrate my anniversary here in the Senior Citizen state, two rather strange and bewildering situations have presented themselves to me in the last couple of days. One was a rather elderly gentleman, full head of white har, feeble, crouch and driving a car from the 70′s. The strange thing about this gentleman is that the old car that he was driving had green neon light under the car and spinner rims. I would like to believe that this little white man is a actually a hudlem and single-handedly stole the car from several members of some tough Melbourne gang which I am unaware of.
The second man was a begger. In general he was a normal begger type, ragged clothes, long beard, knit cap in 90 degree weather. As he walked down the sidewalk he carried a sign, a sign which read “Why Lie, I need Beer”. Haha, ok funny joke. It wasn’t working for him. The unsettling part is that he dotted the “i” with a big heart. hmm.
