The first day of work at Isilon Systems was a blast. The commute was long, about 2 hours up and 1.5 hours down – and I was exhausted, having woken up at 5:15. But I had a lot of fun. My co-workers took me out for lunch, which was awfully kind. Actually, I’m quite eager to go to work tomorrow… I hope Eriko enjoys her new job… =)

my skin tingles, my body shakes; it is quite cold today; i’m afraid; i want to crawl back in bed; your name screams in my head; i turn my music louder; i start to move as rhythym overtakes me; my eyes water behind their closed lids; i feel the emotion build; everyday, your love gives me: inner warmth

Yummmmmmmmmyyyyy. Tae and I saw Brian and Dave in Seattle. That was fun. Brian has a take-home test tonight, so we couldn’t stay very long. I am stuffed. Overflowing… ;P

I’ll be starting my first day of work at Isilon Systems on Tuesday as a Quality Assurance Engineer II. You no longer need to refer to me by name, calling me QAE2 will work just fine. ;P

Well, I had my first good screening. I spoke with Aaron, who reminded me a lot of myself (or perhaps a younger version of myself). I think the interview/screen went really well. I will wait to hear back from Isilon. In more important news, I spoke with Eriko on the phone today. I don’t think speaking is the right word. Hearing her voice sends me soaring. aishiteruyo, Eriko hime.

No wonder my belly isn’t as small as it used to be! For brunch this morning, I was treated to pancakes and bacon. For dinner, I will eat some absolutely DELICIOUS Indian food. My mouth is watering even now, as I think about it waiting for me in the kitchen. I just spoke with my parents, they are doing well. The driveway for their new home in Pennsylvania was completed and they were able to park their temporary (aka motorhome) on their property.
