House Success?
Sorry it’s been a while since my last post…it’s been an insane couple of weeks.
Biggest news….we almost might have a house! We made an offer on a nice 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath townhouse in Lawrenceville and they have accepted :) For the next 3 days it’ll be in attorney review, during which either party can still back out of the deal, and then we’ll have to go through the inspection and mortgage application processes. But assuming everything goes smoothly, we’ll be closing on our new place on May 8th :) It’s so crazy that we might be owning our own home soon!! What I’d like to do on either here on Fuzzy Bunny or over at Drew’s Muy Caliente! is post before and after photos as we work on the place. So come middle of May, expect the blog to take on a home renovation feel. Sucks that we have to wait so long, we were hoping to be working on a house by April, so it would be all painted and stuff before we move in after the honeymoon. I guess we’ll have to paint fast!
That’s all for now, other stuff going on but I don’t have time now to write!

People should be ashamed…
at this article. To summarize, the majority of people know jack shit about what’s in the first amendment. Now I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a big history or political or legal guru at all, but come on! I was absolutely astonished that only 2/3 of the people surveyed could think of freedom of speech. And 3/4…that’s right, 3/4…of the people could not name more than 1 of the 5 freedoms listed (for the record, they are speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition, in short form). I can see people not remembering assembly and petition court, as they aren’t ones people talk about much in the media. But how do you grow up in this country w/o knowing freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press?? I mean, people always seem to love referencing their freedom of speech to incorrectly state they have the right to say anything at any time to anyone. Do they just not realize that it’s part of the first amendment? If you were asked before reading this to name the five freedoms granted in the first amendment, how many could you name? All of them? None? For myself, I could have named the 3 I mentioned, then kicked myself for not remembering freedom of assembly (or whatever it’s properly called), and felt ignorant for not knowing the freedom to petition.

Dogs
Drew and I went to visit my friend Mindi from back home in Parsippany on Sunday, and we had the pleasure of meeting her new German Shepherd, Major. I should start by mentioning that she already has another, older German Shepherd named Emma who’s a real sweetheart and very well trained. Major is only a year old, and hasn’t been well trained in his previous homes. He’s very sweet, but high strung and loves to jump on people and furniture. With such a large dog, this can be a dangerous situation. The majority of the time people were at the house (5 of us in all), Major was barking and jumping and generally demanding attention. It didn’t help that there was one person slightly afraid of him, which if you know anything about dogs you know makes it worse.
It wasn’t until after a couple of people left that Drew and I got to see some dog training in action. Once there were less people around, he calmed down a bit, and I think he was happy to get more attention. It’s amazing, Major will obey pretty much any command given as long as you are holding his ball. But if you’re trying to command him empty handed, forget it. He acts like he’s never heard the words “sit,” or “down” in his life. We figured out that he’s a pretty smart dog, and he likes to be the one in control, which of course is a big no-no. We also figured out that we like dogs and wish we could get one. With both of us working full time, though, that’s just not possible. We would never be able to put in the training and effort that a dog needs and the attention he/she deserves. It sucks, because I’ve always loved German Shepherds, and this just reaffirmed my desire to raise one. When we decide to have kids, I’ll probably be home, but then of course I’ll have kids to worry about and probably still no time for a dog. Anyone else have the experience of raising and training a puppy, or any ideas on how to make time for one?

I read Yahoo’s odd news religiously, and yet every so often something truly distinctive shows up and deserves recognition.

Hello all!
Yay! I have a blog! I am now officially part of the masses and can call myself cool. I know I know, I was super cool before anyways ::modestly waves away hordes of gushing fans::
Anyways, this is my first blog ever and I’m not really sure what to do with it. Seems silly to make it like a diary…I mean the point of diaries is that no one else reads it, and this is obviously an open book. So who knows what I’ll be putting into this thing, but I hope anyone reading it is entertained. Shout out to my wonderful fiancee (who is NOT a bunny, but is fuzzy and muy caliente!) because I know he’ll be at least the one person I can count on to read my posts even when he’s sitting 20 feet away from me.
Here’s a bit about what I do, for those who don’t know, that I didn’t want to cram into the “about” page:
My official title at work is Multimedia Technical Specialist. This is probably the coolest title ever, and makes me sound much more important than I am. In actuality, I’m the bottom rung new member of the IT department at an architecture firm with absolutely no background in computers. I used to work in the company mailroom temporarily and the heads of the IT department decided they saw potential and didn’t want me to leave. Hence a crazy new title and not-so-crazy new job.
What I do: my job is pretty much split into two parts; the multimedia part and the support/helpdesk part. The latter is just what it sounds like…people call or email me or someone else in IT with computer troubles and I’m the first line of defense for the department. Basically this means I go see what the problem is, and if I can’t resolve it I pass it along to the next person up the ladder. This part of my job never fails to leave me either bored (which would be when I’ll write posts here) or scrambling insanely to catch up when 10 million calls/emails come in at once.
The other half of my job is the much more interesting part, and the part where I will probably be able to advance my career. The multimedia thing means that I’m in charge of setting up and troubleshooting our video conferencing, web conferencing, and other random technological devices. This is cool because it’s an area our company is looking to grow in, and previously has been under the direction of our administration department rather than the IT department (don’t ask me why….it’s odd). This part of my job I performed while in the mailroom position, and the responsibilities transferred to IT where they belong when I did. So what’s cool is that no one else in the department knows too much about this fun new technology, leaving it in my area of expertise. I’m special!
Well that’s about it for now…I have some work to get to and soon it’s lunch time! Weee!
