red flags and long nights

I'm at work. Waiting for my training to begin! whoot!
I've just finished marking up the css template for the trade week of action website. Its the preliminary markup, so we have yet to make the necessary adjustments to make it IE compatible, converted it to Typo3, etc. It's the first big task I had to do, and I'm happy with the outcome. The graphic design transfered very well, and soon enough, we'll be ready to roll and throw in content. It's pretty cool to be a part of a team and work on this kind of stuff...like..in the real world...as opposed to school projects or random freelance. I probably sound corny as hell, but I'm enjoying it immensely, learning a hell of a lot, and I'm looking forward to the next steps in this project.

The past couple of days have been somewhat uneventful. Sunday, I spent most of the day trying to do something on the computer...download something, I think. But I had a serious issue with the internet connection in the foyer. I have to like, put my computer right up against the window to even get a teensy bit of connectivity. And although we had a nice day Saturday (the day of the lake parade) come Sunday it started raining and thunder storming - and hasn't really stopped (apparently it will on Thursday).

Speaking of thunderstorms, here is a dramatization of a conversation I had with my little sister sunday night:

ME: "It's thundering really bad here"
FRANKIE: "something about getting a new housemate"
ME: "some sort of response"
[random conversation]
ME: "woah, like seriously, its like firecrackers, its so intense"
ME: "its like explosions in the sky"
FRANKIE: "lol"
FRANKIE: "are you worried?"
ME: "Its so crazy right now, brb"
[get up and look out my window]
ME: "it is firecrackers!"
MY COMPUTER: "your message can not be sent because you have been disconnected"
[attempt to reconnect three times]
ME: "It is firecrackers!"
FRANKIE: "ooh"

Monday was work, meeting at FI to get information about our contracts. Tuesday was similar. Except last night Gilberto asked me if I wanted to go out - there was no plan, what out entailed, where we would end up. Turns out we ended up in some sketch part of Geneva near a pizzeria. We went home and decided that it would have probably been better if we had gone with our original gut-feeling of going to Cafe du Lys.
This morning, my alarm clock didn't go off, and I had five minutes to get ready.

I guess you can say, I'm getting into the swing of things.
