Internet is up...for now.

Well it's confirmed, my little sister Andrea who I haven't seen in like 2 years is coming to visit me next month. She managed to get a week off for vacation from August 8-14. She called me over 4th of July weekend and we both agreed a visit was well overdue, and ever since then I've been scrambling endlessly on looking for flights to get her out here. I could have flown her out here on one of my pink passes, but it's standby travel, and with her flying out of Seattle, I'm not taking the risk since she'd have to transfer in another city to get here. I played it safe and bought her a real ticket, on Southwest of course. I managed to find a really good deal that was cheaper than any other airline. She's flying out of Seattle, but flying back into Portland, Oregon. The nice thing is, she lives in Oakville, which is in between Seattle and Portland so both airports are about equal distance from where she lives. I'm really excited! Man I miss my little sis, it's gonna be awesome to have her out here. And I'm looking forward to introducing her to the Raleigh crew, I think she's really gonna like everyone here. My little sis and I are so much alike. Plus, she's really the only blood family I keep in touch with and get along with today.

I know I mentioned in my last post I have a few nicknames at work. There's one I forgot to mention that everyone's been calling me lately. It comes from this TV reality show called 'Beauty and the Geek.' I'm sure a few of you have seen it. Well, the guys and I have been watching and keeping up with it religiously. It's very amusing. One of the geeks on the show is named Chuck, and I honestly don't care much for the guy. Actually let's just say I don't like him at all, because he likes picking on my boy Richard. Well my boy Richard who's another geek on the show likes to to say to Chuck sarcastically, "Howdy-doo Chuck-a-roo!" every chance he gets, and so the boys at work started to pick up that habit with me every time I'm present. I kind of think it's hilarious. I've been called Chuck-a-roo before so it's nothing new, just another nickname that sticks for me.
