Long time, no blog. Changes abound! My good friend Katie Hill suggested I expand the narrow column that was the blog itself last time. I was happy to oblige. Also, I'm hoping that by the time you read this, another couple changes will have been made. No promises.
Just for fun, here are a few little tidbits about me that you may not have known, and/or for any new readers...
My favorites:
Movie: Cinderella Man
Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio/Ben Affleck [occasionally changes]

Musical artist: James Otto
Song: Measure of a Man - Jack Ingram
Radio Station: 100.5, The Wolf
Restaurant: Olive Garden
Fast food: Popeye's
Sport to watch: Baseball
Sport to play: Basketball

Bible verse: "You are sheep among wolves. Be wise as serpents, yet innocent as doves." - Matthew 10:16
Moving on.
5 weeks in at the job. Getting better with time, as I get accustomed to things. Things I've learned so far:
1. Be thankful for what you have. Most people have zero idea how hard things could really be.
2. I can't/won't talk about girls on Facebook anymore. The girls I work with are relentless, to say the least. It's not worth the hassle.
3. I will not take things that happen at work home with me. Soon as I walk out the door, it's over.
Don't mistake these things to mean that I do not like my job. For the most part, it's actually pretty interesting. Big picture: I get paid to help people. Can't complain about that.
Once again, not much of substance here. Beginning to think I'm not as deep as I once thought I was. Wait, that seems like circular logic. Well, you know what I mean. Maybe. On that note, feel free to share thoughts. And have a good weekend, all.
Cheers,
Derrick
