Well, it's been nearly a month since the last post to Flamie Stuff. It's not because it has been a boring month; in fact, it has been a very busy and exciting month. When I returned from Vancouver with my work visa, most of the anxiety was relieved, but a lot of hassle and setup still needed to happen. I'll save you the boring details, but I'm finally setup with payroll, have received my first payment, am setup for medical/dental benefits, and am working full-time.
On April 6, Dad Martindale came and visited. We had a fantastic time with him and enjoyed an amazing time in Death Valley (I'll post separately about that... soon... I promise :P ).
My laptop started to flake out on me, so I've ordered and received a new laptop. I went all-out on this one and so far I'm very happy with it. For those that care, it's a Dell Studio XPS 16 (1645 to be more precise), Intel core i7-720QM, ATi Radeon Mobility 4670, 4 GB ram, 500 GB HDD, 1920x1080 WLED Screen. Zoom zoom!
Rowan's been super busy with her Ph.D.; working hard, going to conferences, TA'ing, and doing the stuff that graduate students do! She's also been a knitting manic and finished approximately a million projects ;) I'm sure she'll post about that eventually.
Anyways, that's the end of my government mandated 15-minute break, so back to work for me. Love you all!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the update - we were wondering what was happening out in Flamie-land :) Can't wait to see what's been coming off your needles this last while...when you get a chance.
