Apparently it’s 2010

Yet again, I am not the regular blogger that I thought I might turn out to be. Then again I started this when I had no job as a thing to do to take up time and such. So I guess its not really surprising that this blog is gone by the wayside. At least its better than my first attempt on Blogger 2 years ago or so.

But apparently I never got to doing a special post for Christmas and New Years. Eh, thats not the worst but I thought maybe they would have happened. Well I guess in my vacation mode from work I chose not to make posts those days. And what do you know? It’s fricken 2010! How fast did that past decade go?

In those past 10 years a lot happened and it all started with the end of middle school and the beginnings of high school. And then the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. So it started off rather “exciting” with all the changes in my life and the changes in the world. Of course, the terror attacks aren’t really exciting, but they sure as heck changed the way the world works. The rest of high school was rather an average experience, so thats not worth telling. Then I graduated from Calvin Christian High School to go on to Calvin College. (Yeah, went to all schools with Calvin in the name.)

Calvin College was by far my favorite days in school. Not the whole homework aspect, but the meeting of new friends and the classes were fun for their part too. I majored in Engineering and concentrated in Electrical and Computer fields. Graduation was in May 2009 and then it was time to find a job.

The whole finding a job thing took a long time, especially in a crappy economy like we had. But as it turned out a place I had been looking at before school even ended hired me in mid-November. Borisch Manufacturing is the place and I like it there. I am no engineer, yet, but thats ok with me for now. Hopefully, there is some future opportunities there for advancement, it seems they do that a lot, which is good.

So thats how the decade and therefore 2009 ended. Pretty good for at least me maybe not so much the world, but it will change again soon enough. So what will 2010 and the new decade bring? Who knows, but it will always be fun to find out.

Turkey Day!

Today is a great day in America. The day we all stuff our faces more than usual with lots and lots of food that is filling and stuffing. The holiday is all about giving thanks for the bountiful amounts of blessings we receive each year. It was originally meant to be more of a celebration than it is today. In this day and age we don’t really not expect there to be food on the table, where as back when the Pilgrims started it all it was more of a “oh my we harvested a lot of food” deal. Anyway, it’s still a good holiday and I think it should still be celebrated, but it might have lost some meaning over past couple hundred years. Well, I guess it has been an official holiday that long either. Oh well.

I think I am most thankful at this time for having a job at Borisch. It is a real good company from what I can tell so far in my week and half of working there. It can be stressful and boring, but aren’t most jobs? At least I will be able to start affording things again and paying off some major school debt too. I don’t know what the future holds, but I think this is a good start so far.

Happy Thanksgiving! Go and stuff your faces full!
