Rainy Day

My first wet commute. I can honestly say it wasn’t so bad – but it wasn’t so good either. ;P I tried a different bus route which took me right in front of the office. Quite nice. Unfortunately, I have to walk a distance to get to the bus – about the same distance that I have to walk from the other route to the office. I think I’ll start looking for that apartment soon…

Nick goes to the big city

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… =)

inner warmth

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

Indian Food

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

Working man

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

Interview

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.
