New Year -- New Adventures

Welcome to 2008!

I quite honestly realize that today is the seventh day of 2008, and I've yet to catch up on the new year, however I plan on hitting the ground rolling going forward...

Randomness:

So why did I get the comment that I need to "be happy with where I am in life". I am (dang-it). It's just that, I guess, I'm the type of person that desires consistent progression in order to feel as though I'm progressing. I'm not saying it's right, wrong, or otherwise, that's just how I am.

(side note: Why am I still blow away, EVERY time I hear KEM. It really doesn’t matter what song it is. I really think he has his own genre!! I can’t wait until another album is dropped.)

Ok, so here’s the thing. I don’t think that I'm money hungry, but at 26 I want to progress at a steady pace. So I’m chatting with “Jaguar” and she proceeds to tell me that I’ve jumped 3 band levels since 2005. She follows it up with “anyone else would have been happy and content.” Which is probably true, but for some reason I just feel like I need to be doing more. Maybe it’s like that because I feel that there is not enough diversification at the upper ranks of my company and that I feel perhaps I can help balance the equation. Go figure. Needless to say, for 2008 I do have goals to keep progressing, regardless of rhetoric. I’ll be patient with my pursuit, but I can not stand idly by while opportunity runs right past me.


So why did I have to evict my renter? I mean is it that dang hard to pay your rent? I don’t ask for much. As a matter of fact I gave her a “gravy” leasing opportunity. She had troubled credit but a good job, so I figured that it would be a good move for us both. She paid about $100 less than anyone else in the community that rented. So she gets behind a month in her rent right, then calls to ‘tell me’, that she is going to pay the current month, but will spread the past month’s arrears out over the course of the remainder of the least. She has got to have lost her mind. What makes it even worse is that she didn’t even pay that months rent. I tell you, some folx (black/white/etc..) just think they can get over on people. Needless to say, she’s gone (evicted) and the house is on the market. So if you know anyone who’s looking to move to or in the Atlanta area, holla at me! In the mean time, I’ll at least have a vacation spot to go to when I visit Atlanta, lol.

More to come…..it’s 1:30 and I’ve got deadlines today. But it was great to vent for lunch today! Maybe I’ll sneak another post in before I leave today!
