Corvallis housing market
Wendy and I are ready to move out of our current apartment. Unfortunately, we can’t afford to look at houses in Corvallis. The prices are too spendy for us at the moment.

New job
Hooray! I have a new job. Starting on June 14th, I will be the new Academic Advisor for OSU’s College of Health and Human Sciences.

- Finding a position where you get to connect with students and work with a great staff = priceless!

Birthday
They say it’s your birthday. Da na na nah na na nah….well, almost.
Tomorrow is my birthday! Woohoo!
I’m sorry my blog has been so quiet lately. Consulting has me rather jammed at the moment.
Lastly, tomorrow is my birthday. I will be wearing my new grey suit and interviewing for a job with an office. Wish me luck! I’m ready to be around people during the day….
Oh and one last thing…if you know how old I’m going to be, please do not include my age in any comments. I’d rather keep my birth-year a secret from the identity collectors. Thanks.
