so far and between these posts have been. what last post was a good 3 months ago right? didn't do too swell on my lsat retake, only +1, highly disappointing and i'm totally attributing it to burn out.

i'm now a temporary employee working as a functional tester for Sony. in other words, i test notebooks that have undergone repair to make sure that not only has the problem being reported been fixed, but new problems have not arisen and the notebook functions properly. this all happened as a result of a coin toss for a completely unrelated issue, yet it set off an extremely large chain of events that brings us to today.

i'm really enjoying it so far, i've become a part of an interesting crew built up of chinese, vietnamese, armanian, iranian, chicano, and pil-ams. the crew at my table are around my age, and one of them was actually a cat i graduated with. homie next to me is a dj/producer and he's actually starting to teach the son of one of our coworkers turntablism. it's a pretty mundane task but having a awesome group of people makes the time slip by pretty quick. i'm still learning the ropes and am pretty far behind the average of units tested per day, but i think i'm speeding up a bit.

there's a lot of things and people i do miss. i just recently had a cordial debate with my little sister regarding universal health care and in addition to conversations about relationships with coworkers and friends it really got me thinking about how lacking i've been in having meaningful conversations. contrary to how i am as an individual, i honestly will admit that it has not been my main priority to be intellectually stimulated when looking for women to date. though past interactions have made me realize that someone with the ability to engage me mentally will make me fall very much so for them.

needless to say, the relationship department has not been the smoothest of sailings for myself in recent years. add to the fact that hermitting myself has severely shrunken my network and has shown me how very little connections i do have with people; i find myself in a pretty vulnerable and detached state at the moment.

just browsed folks from scripps on facebook. interesting how time flies.
