quick quick quick

I'm writing this as I run out of the door of the office on my way to a Caps game down at the MCI center. I'll update what I can and will try to finish the rest tomorrow.

1. i already posted about the date between dcboy and i, so i'll head over to the hockey game. it ended up being 6 of us, 5 of which were BU alum and DCboy. It was his first hockey game so it was kind of exciting. nothing too crazy happened now that i look back on it, but it was a fun night.

2. after the hockey game court and i headed to the 9:30 club to see Virginia Colation (VACO) i haven't seen them since Fall '03 live and i LOVE them. they are fab. it was court's first VACO concert and she was a real trooper. we had a blast and each drank 2 long islands-we were 'happy' as all get out! :) we drunk dialed dcboy on the walk back to the metro and made a fool of outselves, but we had a blast!

3. on Jan 9th i got a job offer from company B (need to come up with a blog name for them, but until then they will remain comp. B) i accepted the offer that afternoon before talking to my current bosses. I gave my resignation on the first day at the job of my new boss and he took it kind of hard (understandably).

4. Tuesday morning i walked into the office and was having a meeting with J and M about the program when L knocked on the door, she needed to "speak with me immediately" She then proceeded to offer me more money and a 'promotion' to stay on here at the Pit. I would be leaving the charter program and work for higher education (not exactly what i wanted to be doing). I was flattered by the offer and told them that i would seriously consider it--which i did. I called Company B to let them know that i was made an offer and was thinking it over and if they'd be willing to come back with a different offer (the Pit offered me 2K more than what company B was offering, which was almost 3K more than what i currently make). They said that they'd have to go through the proper channels, but that they'd see what they could do.

5. wednesday morning i recieved a call from company B for an offer of $1500 more than the orginal offer, but $500 less than what the Pit was offering to keep me around. i accepted the position and told the Pit that, although i was flattered, i needed to move on and was so excited for my new position.

6. that night, i went to see Wicked at the Kennedy Center- it was a BU alum event and it was a blast! we got to meet the guy that plays the Wizard and he had some really cool things to say about the play vs the book.

7. work was crazy ALLL week, trying to make lists of everything that i do so that whomever they hire to replace me will have some idea of what they need to get done ASAP. plus, meeting with the new boss J day after day was annoying- he's a stubborn jerk who knows nothing about our program or what we do or even what we offer to schools, how fusterating!

8. Friday the 13th we went to Brokeback Mountain (aka the gay cowboy movie) it was GREAT! I encourage EVERYONE to go see it--it's a story about love and not about cowboys or about gay love, just love. it's beautiful. a must see.

9. My riend Couort moved to georgetown on saturday so i helped her with all that--surprisingly it was a very quick move and we were done around 4. we then headed up to Ikea to check things out, it was my first time and she popped my ikea cherry ;-) GOOD STUFF MAN!

10. I worked on Sunday at job #2, normal crap.

11. All this week i am trying to wrap things up and get my desk/office cleaned out. it sucks because i'm going out every night and don't want to bring bags of crap home but need to because that's what i've got here. looks like i'm bringing a back of schools to the caps game tonight!

12. i'm going on a pub crawl/caps game thing on saturday with some more bu alum (see a pattern!?) and g-dawg is going to the game as well so yay for seeing him!

13. next monday the bu alum is gonig to see the caps vs/ the bruins and then playing broomball on the ice of the MCI center- i can't wait! gdawg is coming to the game/broomball and all the girls are excited to finally meet him, so am i! :)

update on dcboy-
well he's going to austrialia in 2006/07 for an extended period of time. he said that i could come visit, but obvisouly he isn't think about a future with me. that's cool. it's all good, as long as we stay friends. although he did call me last night to give me an update on the Lost episode that i missed due to drinking last night. i thought it was very sweet since it was unsolicited and NEVER usually happens. I can't think of ANY time in which he's called me for some reason other than returning a call--he usually texts me so a call is a big deal--at least in my book.

phd boy-we were supppsed to do pub quiz last week but i cancelled on him to go to the hockey game with some girls. i don't really like him that much and don't erally want to spend 2+ hours having to make small talk but am embarassed to introduce him to my friends, so maybe he'll get the hint ... i'm mean :(

i think that's it in a nutshell. i'm sure that i'm missing a lot but it'll come to me :)

oh and my cuz H and her kids and hubby are headed down soon, WOOHOO :)
