Lady Luck is on my side

Posted on 11. Sep, 2008 by Derrick.

I don’t actually believe in luck, but the last couple of days have been interesting.

First, on Friday, Summer and I decided to move to Colorado. I left on Monday and drove for 14 hours to arrive in Denver at about 11pm.

Tuesday I spent all morning submitting my resume to various companies and quickly got bored of doing that, so I googled businesses that were withing 5 miles of my current location. My first call was to a place that, as the manager said “we aren’t currently hiring”. My response was, “No problem, let me come down and show you my resume”. 3 hours later I had a new job and was starting the following day.

I’ve worked two days and already my imediate boss and bosses boss, are glad they made the dicision to hire me. I’m starting to kick butt right off the bat.

Summer on the other hand has been stressing because she wasn’t sure what she was going to do about her current job (she isn’t in Colorado yet, she will follow in 60 days). The awsome news is, she talked to her boss and he is letting her telecomute and keep her job!

So just to list all the good things that have happened since last week friday

• Moved back to Colorado FINALLY, been wanting to do this for years.
• I got a new job within 12 hours of arrival
• My job is going great
• Summer is getting to keep her job
• Our apartment complex is going to allow us to transfer to Colorado without breaking the lease
• I get to have dinner with my sister and her foux hubby tomorrow.
• I’m going to watch the Broncos beat the Chuggers

I’m happy and I wish that I had Summer here to share that with. Two months left till I bring her here to this beautifull state!

Double Double

So, we have been so busy with doing activities that I haven’t had the time to post.

Last weekend we finished up the “AMP” human energy thing for the Superbowl. I had a good time and honestly, when are you ever going to get paid to ride a bike? I’m not sure that I mentioned it, but we got paid $20 an hour for our “energy”. We ended up, between the two of us, putting up 18 hours of riding time.

We didn’t stay around for the game, we decided to head home and holy shit! New York Football Giants WON!!!! I hate Tommy Terrific Brady.

Because I spent so much time on the bikes over the weekend, I only rode in to work once this week on thursday. Nothing to report here, except that they now have the canal filled and I don’t have to ride with a bandanna to cover my face.

We are now in Colorado visiting my Sister and her boybuddy Kit. We are going hiking today which I will post a gps when we get back, and on Sunday we are going to winterpark to ski.

Till later
