Now only a weekend and three glorious days separate me from separating with my job. This past two weeks has been the longest of my time here it seems. And that is saying something! It is funny all of the strange things we have missed over here. I for one cannot wait to get back to cheap material goods and souless gadgets! Over here, the comibnation of no money and a lack of a cheap-plastic-garbage electronics market means that we have missed an entire generation of cool toys. I can honestly say I never really overtly cared that much about any of this stuff before we came. But over here I have had a lot of fun dreaming up a great wired world for our next home. Satellite TV, digital video recorders, wireless internet access, and VoiceIP phone service. I can’t wait to get back and have fun with all of this stuff. It must sound really sick. Sorry! It’s just some kind of freak gen-x reaction! I don’t suppose we’ll have a lot of money to throw around when we get home anyway. But it’s been fun to distract myself. The MBA program I’m doing requires a notebook computer, so at least that part I’ll be able to indulge. Of course Sara will probably use it more than I do. This is the real secret: she’s the big computer/tech junkie! It’s true.
