Dear pigeons of Walla Walla,

Sincerely,
Me

Yesterday I told Washington state, "screw your sales tax!" and I drove to Oregon to pick up my 50" plasma. Then I mounted it on a wall in my living room, got pizza and watched Troy.
It's good to have goals. It's even better to hit 'em.

Cigars, steak, beer, satellite radio, forex, and nailing down another account that will result in a company-wide bonus for this month. That's been my May 2008.
Fuck yeah.

It took a week, but here in my new pad in Walla Walla, I actually have internet access again!
The whole cable thing didn't work out. Silly contractors who remodeled my condo, they cut the cables and never reconnected them. Probably union.
So I had a different crew bolt a microwave dish antenna to a wall of my balcony. Now I have a faster symmetrical connection (same speed up and down) for a bit less money.
I didn't just go this route in the first place because I didn't know if it would fly with the Home Owner Association I'm now a member of. Then I figured they could shove it since I got hosed on the cable. Then my HOA booklet came in the mail today and I discovered that there are no regs in regard to the addition I had attached to the building. Right on, right on.
I'm considering attempting to nuke a hot dog in front of my internet access point. If that fails, I've got a shiny new grill with 30" of grilling surface. Oh yeah.

This evening, I shook hands with Dinesh D'Souza.
There are some things I will miss about life in a college town, things like this. Otherwise, this place can pack it.

5 dead, 2 wounded, 1 captured.
Description of a day in a war zone?
Nope.
I slipped into Walla Walla before the sun came up this morning and got after the local pigeon populace with a rifle. About 30 minutes, 11 shots fired and one trap emptied, all kosher-like with the city police force. The goal (well, really, my goal) is to wipe out the flying rats within one year. I mean that - every last one. Aided by a birdy birth control program my company is installing as part of a public/private funded project by the city and area merchants, I think I can do it.
That's how I plan to spend every morning before the sun comes up until they're all gone.
Damn I love my job. This proves wrong many who told me that there was no way to market the skills I learned in the U.S. Army Infantry in the civilian job market. I told you bastards that my expert marksman qualification on the M16A2 is in fact a sparkling resume item.
And I got word today from the mortgage types that the party starts at 8:15am, Monday, March 17th at the title company office in town. The keys will be mine. Oh yes, they will be mine.

The title: what I feel like I've been doing with mortgage types lately.
It's all good though. Some set backs recently, but bigger gains today. I should be going to the closing table with just 1/3 of the cash they wanted in the first place, same monthly payment. Oh yeah.
I'll put that ammo into some other target, make it blow up, if you know what I mean.
Persistence. It just took persistence. And remembering that it's just business. No hard feelings. If there is, oh well - go have a cry. Not on this side of the table though.
Anyway, enjoy some tunes:

Moving to Walla Walla in a few months. Waiting for my replacement to get trained up.
Why? Only single guy without kids in the company and they need someone out there. Simple math.
The weather is nicer out there. This is honestly the reason I accepted the transfer. I didn't even ask for a raise. Such is my hatred of snow.
Buying a condo. Top-to-bottom remodeled/refurbished within last year, all new appliances, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, top floor, balcony overlooks the pool.
The numbers still indicate that I can retire within three years if I want. Just gotta avoid developing some expensive new hobby (other than home ownership). It has occurred to me that when that day arrives, I may not know what to do with myself, so it might be a good idea to keep working for a while.
Cat won't stop meowing at me.
There's 2+ feet of snow on the ground outside, the temperature is moving above freezing and it is supposed to rain for at least the next five days. May splurge on rubber duckies to release in the street in front of my house when the flood hits.
Haven't woken up after sunrise in quite a while. Going to try it out tomorrow morning to remember what that's like.
current mood:  tired
