Escape from Corporate America

So it has been a little over a year now working in the green-tinted glass oval downtown. What a year it has been. I must admit, I have finally accepted the fact that I'm a blue-collar corporate American. And after all that, I'm taking my first full weeks vacation, and not just the first at Block, but the first ever.
I have to admit, I almost changed it to just a day or two, but what the hell, the hours have built up, and I'm taking a whole 40 of them. Oh, and speaking of the job, found out Friday that I got a raise, effective immediately. Was very excited, as it has been a year since my last one.
No big plans for the week off. Do have a couple of consulting jobs scheduled, slowing building up the client base one client at a time. Was going to take a vacation and travel someplace for the week, but just couldn't decide on a destination that would be fun with just me. Maybe next spring, as there are tons of places I'd like to go, just not enough time to plan a trip for 1.
Jason seems to think I should do a couple of things around the house (again, his house), like paint the ceiling in my room, but, ya know, I just don't think that is going to happen. Not just the fact that I despise hard labor, but painting, I mean, I'd honestly rather pick up shit in the yard than paint. The kitchen is coming along great, he has been painting and putting up crown molding all weekend. I'm telling you, I never thought he would have as much accomplished without hiring a contractor has he has.
So for those that don't know, Trevor is back in school. Yes, that is right, a real college. I'm doing the online Distance Learning program through University of Phoenix. So far I'm a week into it and I LOVE IT! I actually just finished and turned in an assignment. The greatest part is I can work on it at anytime during the day, at my leisure. I'm very excited about the whole thing. If things go as planned, I should have my associates in the spring of 2008. We'll see where things go from there.
Well, it is getting late, and I have my first consulting appointment early tomorrow morning. Hope all are well! Love you all!
