Train Tales Part 1

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Now that I’m gainfully employed again, I have started taking the train to work. This is generally a painless exercise, I get up at around 6am to make it to the train by 6:55am. This usually gets me into work around 8:15am. I then take the train home at 4:45pm and get home by 6:10pm. I can’t really complain, as it would cost me twice as much to drive to work, and take me just as long.

Periodically, I will be telling my tales from the train. There are loads of stories and experiences, and maybe I’ll throw in a picture or two when I can.

Life is full of changes…

A lot of things have happened in my life since I last posted to this blog… Primarily, I was laid off from my job of 2 years. It was kind of a shock, but not entirely suprising. The company I was with has shown signs of struggling, and it was just a matter of time before the owners started making the moves necessary to keep the business afloat. Unfortunately for me, that included a lay-off.

But I sent out a few resume’s the next day, and was gainfully employed fairly quickly. Luckily I had some savings accumulated, so the transition was not as painful as it quite possibly could have been.

As a result of that, my diet was thrown out the window. I stopped tracking my food intake and have gained a few of the pounds I lost over the last few months. Now that I’ve started my new job, I am trying to get back to a regular schedule.
