It's been awhile since I've written anything here. I've been taking weekend French lessons which has been a great decision. Even if I never relocate to Canada, it will always be helpful when I visit. J'aime Montreal! Well...it's a start; I have a long way to go. A trip back to Montreal is now scheduled for the week of Labor Day. I'm very excited, needless to say.
My disatisfaction with my job keeps growing. Management changed the way we get paid, effective 2008. I'll have to wait until the end of the year review to see how this will affect me. On top of that, I did not get a raise. My boss' message is perfectly clear: work harder or no raise. Greedy bastard.
Politically, I've taken a step back. The elections last November gave me some hope that things will get better. Finally, it seems America is waking up and discovering that the Republicans in power are incompetent and liars. Now if we can only find some way out of that awful war. It never should've happened and I'm proud to say that I was against it from the very beginning.
Finally, my album of the year for '06 is Mesh "We Collide". No surprise there. I wish they would've released more singles from the CD. "Step by Step" and "Open up the Ground" were great album tracks that deserved a few remixes, and would've stormed the DAC Charts.
