Apartment Adventures: Working Man

Once again, apologies for dying for like... Ages... I'm still alive though, just keep getting wrapped up in the world of college, and not being able to find the time to sneak away to write in solitude.

So, I'm back, for how long no one knows, but as long as I have something to say and have somewhere to say it I'll post something here. Sound good?

Cool! Well, before I start talking about the now I want to catch you up on a few things. And looking to see when my last post was I realize it hasn't been as long as I thought. 6 months isn't *too* bad. =P

Well, since then I've had about a billion journeys so here goes. (And then I realized that the last real about me blog was in October...)

Since October, I... went to a haunted house with the UT crowd, and continue to despise haunted houses.
Since the haunted house, I... Stayed in Austin over Thanksgiving break, and had Thanksgiving with the brother and his wife, and the not yet born baby.
Since Thanksgiving, I... went home for Christmas, got the Uncharted 1/2/Controller set and beat the first one.
Since Christmas, I... started video blogging, thanks to a Question A Day book (where there is a question for every single day of the year and spots for answers for 5 years. I thought it was a fun vlog idea so I went with it, and am currently a month or two behind, go figure. Haha.)
Since the vlog started, I... drove to Nikki's house in Dallas to hang out with the gang before the Spring Semester started.
Since the semester started, I... sadly lost Jacob as a roommate, but gained Gerardo as a roommate who while no Jacob was a fantastic roommate.
Since switching roommates, I... was visited by the wonderful Emily Stumme (who has a last name that Blogger doesn't recognize as a word) who flew in all the way from Maryland so Sara could have a dentist appointment, and she could see Mario, Sara, Enrique, Samantha and myself for a few days in our natural environment.
Since Stumme visited, I... officially became an uncle to the handsome Harrison Oliver Combs.
Since Harrison was born, I... lost track of time and the next thing I can think is finished off the Spring Semester.
Since the Spring Semester ended, I... was visited by the fantastic Nikki who flew in all the way from Dallas so she could hang out and see what Amarillo was like.
Since Nikki visited, I... (and while she was in town) hung out with Cody, Camron (which Blogger says is misspelled) and Chelsea a lot, which made me realize how great all of them are and how much I miss them when I'm not there.
Since hanging out with them, I... lost my PS3 to the Yellow Light of Death after having it for... however long it has been since it came out.
Since losing my PS3, I... left Amarillo to go to Austin, because I had a job lined out and waiting for me.
Since heading back to Austin, I... started my job with Alcatel-Lucent and it has been great so far.


Which catches you up. Sorry about the style, I accidentally started that, and couldn't stop. Haha. Somewhere in there I was on an Intramural Indoor Soccer team. We lost, all the games, but it was enjoyable. =D

So, William Combs has a job huh? Yes, with a cool badge, and one of these:

I'm silly, yes, but that's why you're still here. =P

But the job, right. It's great, as I previously stated, and everyone who works here is super nice. I've not met everyone, but those I have have all offered their help in case I ever get stuck or don't know what to do. So, the job is going well, lots of reading and training before I actually start doing cool things like debugging, woot!

While in Austin for the Summer I'm staying at an apartment with Pedro, Ernest and Ricky. It's a nice apartment and the guys are all cool. When we're all there, which only happens on weekends and after 8pm during the week, we just watch shows, do work, play games, have nice little dinners (on occasion), and just talk. Which is cool. Sometimes Cathy comes to visit, Eric came down from Dallas after everyone visited Nikki for a weekend, I stole Matthew on Saturday, Camron came by for a bit after his Orientation... Yeah. It's cool!

Umm... I guess if you didn't know I was doing videos, you can watch the old ones here, and I'll work on making new ones. I also continued writing the story about Shiro Winters if you by any chance started reading that. And I'm working, so don't expect too much of this to actually happen in a short time period, except for my work, which will definitely happen. =D
