Just six months ago, I was unemployed. I'm not quite sure how I should celebrate my six-month mark here. I was telling Opportunity that I should probably take myself out to dinner for a job well done (Hell, I deserve it!). And even with the strife and other shit that's went on in the past six months, I don't think I would change a thing. This is truly a challenging and dynamic work environment and I'm glad to be here.

OK. Spiel over.

If any of the LA Blacks are reading, I will be out in your neck of the woods (the Oh-Sizzle, to be exact) next week; October 4 - 6. It's all on the company dime, so between training sessions and the like, I'd love to meet up with some of y'all. You know how to reach me. Until then…back to work!
