So I started my new job. I am pretty excited about it. The firm really seems to care about their employees. Everyone I have met has been really nice. The team I am on has been a pleasant surprise of personalities. I was a little worried that I would be stuck working with boring and stuffy types, but that has been proven to be completely wrong. After only 5 days I feel fairly comfortable with most of the group, and have already done a happy hour with them. I expect many more happy hours to come.
Some unexpected perks of this new job, besides the great co-workers mentioned above:
1. Free World Cup coffee! They offer a wide variety of coffees and even have a machine in the break area that you can get espressos, cappuccinos, etc, all from fresh ground beans.
2. Free Soda Fountains through out the offices. I pretty much stopped drinking soda, but now that it is free and only two doors from my office, dang, I am even drinking Pepsi at work!
3. My own office, with a door! I have had my own office before, but it was essentially a closet. This new one is the size of my bedroom! I will be getting more furniture soon:
Melissa's family is flying in today, so we will be pretty busy showing them all that Portland has to offer. Well, we will at least put a dent in that. Y'all take care now, ya hear?

Aqueduct rolled through town the other night. It's always great to see these guys and get to hang out with them when they come through. I went to high school with a couple of these guys, and am happy that we have stayed in contact.
Aqueduct is a really fun/party show. I normally am not into that stuff, but something about them always gets me dancing and having a blast. Add to that the music has much more depth then a normal party tune, and can be listened to and enjoyed outside of said context.
Over the years this group has seen a varied line-up. This current line-up has gotten tighter then I have ever seen them before. Rock solid and very impressive. Their "mash-up" of Warren G's "Regulators" with Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgettin' was not only genius, but it was done to perfection. Matt, I had no idea you could rap/sing like that!
I promise you will have a blast at their shows, go see them if you get the chance.
