I really need to post more...

Sorry to those of you who are reading regularly my whole two blogs.

No autumn pictures unfortunately, every time it was a good evening for pictures, I was on duty, when I wasn't on duty, it was dark and cloudy, it was as if someone was saying "no albany pictures for you!!"

As some of you may know I've been sick for the last like, 7 weeks. Come to find out, allergies are the cause. I'm allergic to Albany. It's caused me to have the flu twice and coughing up my lungs for the last 6 weeks. It's fantastic! I finally got some time to go to the doctor and am on the mend, so that should be better!

Despite the constant illness there are some great things about Albany that I thought I'd share with you:

My CoWorkers

AKA here is Justin Smith one of my Co-RDs here on staff and probably my BFF. We goof around a lot, develop our own "cool lingo" and relatively just... I dunno. Chill shawty, chill... We have lots of ISMs and he's made my transition here a lot easier. This is his "Fetch" pose. Yes, he's a Gretchen trying to make "Fetch" work.

The Staff

Some of my Lovlies during a bowling trip we had at training. The two guys are my RAs, the purple haired young lady is one of our office workers called SAs.

Me and our "Senior RA" Who is pretty much the half student-staff/half pro-staff/liason etc role.

Staff Development Activities:

(Apple Picking! Yum Yum!)

This is Allison our Graduate Assistant (dark hair) (also considered professional staff) and Kelsey one of Justin's RAs.

And I've been lucky enough to get some Jason time! (He's moving in VERY SOON!!)

And there is some AWESOME coffee out here.

Here's a lil something from the local coffee house...

It's kind of a heart... he tried!

Other than that, now that I have the job down (They're already starting to make plans on how to professionally develop me for next year. I'm getting "groomed" for the next position up, my boss wants me to take her place when she leaves!) I'm integrating socially now, I've made some friends with ex-reslifers who still hang out with current reslifers. (Nice to not be ALL JOB all the time, but still have friends who know what you do!) Lots of dinners, and laughing, and movies etc.

Also, soon pics to come of my ADORABLE cousins. I'm watching a lot of their BBall games, and trick or treating and all that fun stuff. It's been great to have family near by I LOVE being close to them! Thanksgiving with them is going to be a BLAST!

To all my loved ones far away I know I'm pushing your patience with my lack of phonecalls. Believe me when I say I talk about you all the time. I refer to ya'll as my "Other Life" or my "Previous Life" so that they know I'm refering to one of you.

Miss you all like crazy all the time!
