Hello. It's been a while since my last post, and I really don't have a good reason why I haven't been posting. I have an internet connection, I have things I could post about, but I just haven't felt up to writing. I finally have my one-way return ticket, scheduled for December 15th. Some people may not understand how happy I am to be coming home, because I CANNOT wait to get back. This whole job has been a great experience, though I must reiterate experience because other than getting to work with some great people I can't say I have gotten much out of the trip. Firstly my view of Fru-Con has been soured since they seem to be well known for missing deadlines (i.e. "It'll only be for 3 to 4 weeks Matt"). It wouldn't be so bad if it were a one time occurance, but this seems to be all across the board. Secondly I've become markedly more grim about my job. I hate to think what would happen if I got back and they tried to send me somewhere else. I would like to think I would tell them to shove it, but that's a lot harder said than done.
There may be some job changes brewing, but it's still early for that.

(Now comes the sappy part)

At least there are people (they should know who they are) that always seem to brighten my day, no matter how bad I feel. I don't think I could have made it down here without them.

(End sappy part)

Goodbye for now. Hopefully I'll start posting more, though I'm notoriously bad about posting when I'm in St. Louis. If I don't post by then, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!
