I sit here at my desk knowing that I have somewhat gone into hiding since my return to Colorado. I'm sure most of my friends and acquaintances have noticed this too. This post is to explain that absence and also to talk about what I have been up to, and eventually you will see that it all ties together.
My absence in the social eye of Durango and my circle of friends has not been an accident or forgetfullness. It has also not been a personal vendeta against any one of my friends. I am hoping that my time here is short and by short I mean about two years or less. My attention was stolen by the rest of the world and though I love my family and friends dearly, I refuse to become stuck in this town for any length of time. This being said, I have tried to remain out of sight for this and the fact that my job is the opposite from most working people that I know. My days are my nights and vice versa.
On the job front I am currently working at Sky Ute Casino Resort in Ignacio, CO. as a night auditor for the hotel. This job has quickly bored me to death after being busy every second of the day for the past two years prior and today I interviewed for a position in the casino proper for a slot technician position. I'm hoping that this job will stimulate my mind and keep me active and busy and I can learn more about a trade that I can take anywhere with me.
When I'm not at work I am sleeping, and on my days off I make it a point to go outside and enjoy the summer weather, run errands, and stay active. Next week my plans will take me hiking up Engineer Mountain.
I am also using this time to eliminate the mountain of debt I have managed to accumulate over the past 3 years. This will have to be done before I start thinking about doing anything else. On that note, I am happy to say that I now have a 401k plan through my company as well as health, life, dental, and vision insurance.
And so, here I stand. Waiting, trying to be patient. I feel like I'm at a point of limbo. It seems like the world is kinda...off kilter. Before I dive into things I shouldn't, I will end this blog. Perhaps a good beer will cheer me up a bit.

Do what you need to do, Tom! I know that kind of limbo you are in; I feel like I've been in and out of it a lot lately, but most recently when I lived in Durango fall '07 and didn't tell anyone. GEE, sounds so familiar. *big hug*
