This is Charlie, reporting live from downtown State College.

Why, you ask?

Well, at my job, we have a downtown office. It's closed during the summer, but once our move in/move out rush is over, some of the leasing agents work at the downtown office. Today is my day. It is kind of cool in a way; you have an office to yourself, there is no work to do (since most stuff is done at the main office), and the only work you do (at least right now) is hand out bus pass forms all day. But, all that aside, I can foresee the boredom already since I have no work tasks to preoccupy myself.

Also, since it is downtown, where parking is scarce and always needs to be paid for, that can be a problem. But, my employer lends us a EZ pass for the Pugh Street garage so that's covered, right?

Apparently, not today.

I went straight to the garage this morning to park the jeep {normally this isn't that easy, you're supposed to pick up the pass at the office first (by parking in front of it and running in and out in hope that the ticket nazi doesn't catch you) and leave the pass in the office at the end of the day, after picking up your car, for the next person. That wasn't necessary for me yesterday since I used it to go there briefly and the person taking over didn't need it since they were taking the bus}, I pull up to the ticket machine and did what I did before and...nothing. I tried again. Nothing. After trying again several times and since there was no one in the booth, I just got a ticket stub instead. I told my boss about it and he said that when I go back to pick up my jeep, just tell the person in the booth and they should straighten it out. Hopefully that's the case, otherwise I'm not having lunch today.

I can tell it's going to be a busy day. I've been here about an hour and I've literally had two people in the office briefly and one phone call; all in regards to the bus passes.

I just worked 7 1/2 hours, didn't eat (by choice), and I still feel 10X better than I would working half of that with a full stomach at my old job. :-)

Well, it's official.

I have a new job as a "Leasing Agent" at Copper Beech. They're basically the place that owns the apartment complex I live in, Parkway Plaza.

I'll pretty much be doing the same thing Marlena does; working at a desk, writing up leases, answering phones, assisting tenants, inspecting apartments upon being vacated, etc.

I started today, learning about inspections.

My new co-worker, Shanna, went with me to two apartments and showed me what to do.

At the second apartment (which was actually on W. Aaron Dr, so we had to drive. Only a block, though), she left to go back to the office and let me finish the second one and the next one after that.

I went to the third apartment and as soon as I walked in the door, I could smell something rotten.

I proceeded with the inspection (while leaving the front door open to air out the apartment).
While I was looking around at the kitchen, I looked in the fridge.

Then quickly slammed the door shut.

Someone had left some food in the fridge, which was off, for God knows how long rotting away.

I still like this job better than my old one.

What has become of my old one, you ask?

I'm still working at Office Depot. I actually had to leave Copper Beech after only a few hours, since I had to be at the old job today. I gave my notice that I would be working until the end of next week.

Until then, I'll be working at Copper Beech when I'm not at Office Depot if it's within Copper Beech's business hours.

I'm looking forward to leaving the retail bullshit. I will miss (some) of the people at Office Depot, though.

Hooray for new jobs!

Current Music: Come On (Let's Go!), The Smashing Pumpkins

I'm only two tracks into the new Smashing Pumpkins album, Zeitgeist, and I'm already blown away.

I haven't heard a rock/alternative album this good in years. Most of this genre is so whiny/emo now; it's just crap. Maybe it's just the same stuff that was popular 10 years ago, but I like it.

It brings me back to me at 14 buying Melancholy and The Infinite Sadness and just thinking "wow, this is a great album."

It's so good, I actually made a post. That says a lot for me these days.

Yep, as you may or may not have heard, I have taken the plunge.

Two days ago was Marlena and I's 3rd anniversary.

I figured it was about time to ask her since we've been together a while now, and we've been through a lot of hard times together and still love each other, not to mention get along great (which helps a lot LOL).

So I got her a ring.

Of course, like any other time I make plans they fell apart that day. But then, I figured, "she knows that, she knows I'm not the type to always pull off a great romantic 'perfect day.' If she's going to say yes, she's going to say it. If she loves me enough to do it, she'll say it even if I trip over myself trying to do it."

Which I practically did.

But, (this is why I love her and knew asking her this was so right) as much as I screwed up and asked her in the dorkiest, most unromantic way, she still smilled and said "of course!"

I'm unbeliveably happy right now. I'm engaged! I'm going to get married!

My only thought now is....what the hell do I do now?!!
