Well I wake up this afternoon to find an email that I am now going home a day earlier than I was really scheduled for originally, so I get to go home on Sunday. I am kind of torn as I would have preferred to have the extra money to spend at Dragon*Con, but it will be nice to get back home. I need to get my Lostume finished and start digging all of the other costumes out of the bins in order to start packing for the con. The other thing that I am kind of peeved about is that fact that I have not had a chance to get out and take any pictures this go round yet, so I am going to have to try to make it somewhere on Friday when I have the day off. I am thinking of driving to Santa Fe to see what I can find there, but I am not 100 percent sure yet.
For any of you who have been to Albuquerque or Santa Fe, any suggestions of where to go?

I made it over to the Albuquerque zoo today to take some pictures. I really needed a lens with more zoom, but I made do with what I had. Here are a couple of samples and a link to the gallery.

Today I decided that I would forego a full day of sleep, and actually go out and see some of Albuquerque. I went to the aquarium and botanical gardens to take some pictures. It was nice and cool as a storm was moving in, and I spent about 2 hours there between both places.

Well I have been in Albuquerque for a week now, and I haven’t really done anything except work and sleep. I have been working 7pm – 7am pretty much every day, and this is my 7th day straight of that schedule. I really can’t complain, because I have done the math, and I will be getting what equates to a months worth of pay for 2 weeks of work. My paycheck should end up being for around 196 hours for two weeks, with all of that time being 2nd or 3rd shift with a holiday thrown in the middle of all of that. I think that with that check, and some other money I have headed my way, I will have my car and credit card paid off in the very near future. The best part is that I am slated to come out here the first two weeks of August for the 2nd round of our new software implementation, and that paycheck will hit a few days before Dragon*Con.
It doesn’t look like I will be able to have time to make any new costumes for D*C this year due to being out here, but I am ok with that. At least I will be clear of debt except for my harley and house, and that will be of more benefit in the long run.
