Currently Listening Solace for the Lonely By Robinella see related

i am certainly an inhabitual user of xanga.  occasionally i get the notion that i ought to jot a little note or two out here in cyberspace.  it usually remains merely a notion.  i suppose i could do a brief update of sorts.  here goes.

i am entering my 4th month as a business analyst for Deloitte Consulting.  so far it has had thrills and non-thrills.  i'll admit that my projects haven't been the most exciting, although being in nashville for the first was certainly a plus.  my current project allows me to work from atlanta with an occasional trip to Fredericksburg VA.  this is mostly good, as being home means i can carry out life in atlanta more than 3 days a week.  i get to cook often, i go to a community group at church mid-week, i occasionally practice the mandolin.  and this week, after 3 weeks of working in the office, i geniusly decided to work from home/coffee shop.  hoorah.  i am supposed to "roll off" (consultants have their own language which i find detestable--not difficult to understand for the "layman" but pretty silly.  examples would be "hit it out of the park", "to have bandwidth", "to reach out to someone"...) after this coming week and so i've got my fingers crossed that i can get on a new project soon.  complicating that is the fact that i'm leaving for Romania in 3 weeks(!!) for a week's stay, and then it's holiday season which means very few projects looking for analysts...it'll work out somehow.

last night i went to see Robinella and the CC String Band in concert at Eddie's Attic.  i think a former Decatur resident and fellow xangaer had mixed reviews, but i really enjoyed the venue.  and the opening act was phenomenally interesting and very talented--guitar/violin duo, sort of jazzgrass, if i can use that term. 

honestly that's it.  my life is boring.  Romania should add some spice to my life.  i've also been thinking lately about moving back to Paris.  i have to explore the idea further to see if i could transfer offices to the Paris office of Deloitte, but i'd do it in a heartbeat if i could. 

lastly, if anyone's in town next friday you should come to our place for the 1st annual Novemberfest party.
