Somehow my new job is just as boring as my old job. Although the work has the potential to be more interesting, there is less of it. Which means I still find myself checking my email every 5 minutes and checking my work schedule to see if anything fun, like a radio tour, has been scheduled. I spend a lot of my time making and drinking tea and transferring all their old beta tapes to DVD, which feels like treading water. Also, although I see my roommates more (Woot.) somehow I don't seem to see Joe any more than before.
Though we did have a nice Thanksgiving. Out to Delaware to his sister's house, watching his brother-in-law deep fry a turkey, and seeing his neices dance in the Nutcracker (so cute!). Deep frying a turkey is a good time. You basically stick it on a hook, haul it out to the garage and immerse it in hot peanut oil cooking on an oversized burner. The garage smelled awesome all weekend.
I miss being near my family. I love New York, and I know I'll probably want to live in or near big cities my whole life, but I hate only seeing my family twice a year (sometimes less). It's even a hassle for Joe to get to his family. It was 5+ hours to his sister's and nearly 2 hours to get to his mom's...at least when she's not in Florida. Man, I can't wait for the day that Particle Transporter machines are acually invented. Just push a button and "Beam me up, Mom!"
Someone should really get on that.
