Revisitation

Post author By blueZhift
Post date October 15, 2011

One week into a new job and so far I am quite happy. I’ve returned to downtown Chicago and it feels great! My new coworkers are great and my work is interesting and I’m learning some new stuff. Right now I’m working on an Android app!

I spent a couple of lunches revisiting some of my favorite haunts. It almost brought tears to my eyes when I remembered that I honestly thought I would never have the pleasure of working downtown again, a permanent exile.

Well I have returned! Better than ever, in no small part due to my exile to the wilderness of the suburbs where, like in any good martial arts movie, I was able to heal and train under a great and skilled master to whom I owe great thanks.

I am back!

While I had fun at the Star Trek convention in Chicago yesterday, I still miss the fan run Trek cons of yesteryear… #startrek #
I think the main thing missing from the Creation Star Trek cons are fan run panels. A couple of rooms for these would be great. #startrek #
Woo hoo! Room reservations for Dragon*Con 2012 begin tomorrow morning at the Marriott! #dragoncon #
Getting a room for next year's Dragon*Con would help cure these post con blues I have right now. #dragoncon #
@ButerflySamurai That's exactly what I'm counting on. And I have a very high luck multiplier! in reply to ButerflySamurai #
I've had rough patches in my life, but can't really complain too much. God's been pretty good to me, even when I didn't deserve it. ^_^ #
Pics I took at the Star Trek convention on Saturday. Really bad lighting, so a lot of bad shots, but some good #cosplay http://j.mp/nHIDh1 #
Yes, I did drink the last of the sangria. Hic… #
