Say Goodbye to 2007

Just came back from dinner with my ex-boss and his wife. That's how i like to celebrate my last day of 2007. A nice dinner with some good friends, eat, talk and laugh, in stead of drinking, partying and dancing all night long.

My 2007 was not as great as 2006. In 2006, i got my green card in November and passed my Professional Engineer exam in December. In 2007, hmmmm.....

January

I had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted in one dental visit. I survided the ordeal and recoved the next day without any problem. I am glad that i decided to have them removed. Used to be i will have gum infection every other month even with proper flossing, brushing and rinsing. Two of them have to be cut into smaller pieces in order to be removed because they only broke partway through my gums and i have had them since 15 y.o. I don't know why but i kept the teeth. want to see them? (Eww...... Alrigh, alrigh, i won't post that.)

February

I went back home to celebrate CNY with my family. That was the first CNY with my family in nine years since 1998. Come to think about it is till owe some of my cousins the photos that we took at the main house. I am going to post them here and you guys can download it here. But, i need to find them first.

March

The first project that i worked on after i return from my CNY break was to help my boss to sort and to “clean up” a project for my boss (that project is still a mess). For the rest of the year is pretty much just work, work and more work. Let's not talk about work.

Fast forward to October

I turned 30 in October. (Woopy!) Of course 2 days later is the Halloween. My coworker had order this cake for her family dinner from a local bakery and it smells SOOOOOO good. Nope i didn't get to taste the cake. I sure tried, but no.

November was Turkey month. On Thanksgivings, i went to my friend's house, as always, to have some turkey and dressing and Snoozzzzzzz.......

December - AH Fall Colors! We had some very severe drought this year and we though we won't get much fall color for 2007 and we were wrong. The fall color display didn't start till December and the display was splendid. Click on the photos and see it for yourself. These photos were taken just outside of my apartment.

Quick Update

It has been a while since i last login to my blog and i almost forgot my login name.

Life is very busy as usual over here. I was joking with my boss this afternonn telling him that i will be taking off the rest of this month and he asked me if he can come with me? I am in the office finishing up some reports and he is out on the filed doing field work. Yeap, we are that busy.

I sat down last week and wrote down the projects that i am working on. Guess how many of them. 8 at the same time! People at work have been taking off left and right and i have been filling in for other people who are doing field work and i have no time to finish my reports. I finally sat down with my Big Big boss and let him know my situation and the client just have to wait to get their report.

We have been in the process of finding a senior engineer and haven't found any suitable candidate. The office manager have hired the job recruiter to come up with resumes and they cannot provide a single resume that fits our requirements.

about 615pm today, my phone rang and i picked up the phone. My cleint was actually surprise to know that i am still in the office. He was planning to call and leave me a message on my voice mail and got me instead. The first thing that came out of him month was Voon, do you have a life? why are you still working after 5pm? yeah, i would like to be somewhere else too but i figured sooner or later i will have to finished my reports might as well use some of the after work hours where the office is quite and have less interuptions from my co-workers and phone calls................................................i need a break from work........................help!
