being a blogger

it took me a while to realize that many people actually blog. didn't quite pay attention to it until i went on to cnn.com and saw anderson cooper's blogs as well. i wonder if stephen colbert blogs? that would be interesting stuff to read. i love the show..."the colbert report." really hilarious....it is satire and although there is a serious undertone, you just cannot help but laugh when he says it. he's even funnier than "the daily show with jon stewart."
so anyway, my boss has been avoiding me lately because i asked him for a raise. he calls and if i answer the phone at work, he hangs up. it doesn't bother me really. i guess even if i get the raise or not, i will be leaving soon...it doesn't matter. maybe i will stay until august and then i will leave. i do not know if i could really go through another book season working with him. i am preparing myself from now...mentally...which means that it is becoming a task really. time changes everything and i guess i have become too old for the job there. i have been there a long time and the only thing i will really miss is the chats i have with the customers. i will miss them.
my venezuelan friend is moving back to her country in november. she wants to start her career and her son will be ready for pre-school next year. i guess she is thinking of all of that. i do not blame her really. so even if i stay for another book season, i will not stay beyond november. there comes a time when one has to move on and i am almost at that bridge now.
i suppose the trip we are going on will be to visit st. augustine, florida and a few cities further north. we usually decide when we get on the road what we are going to do and where we are going to. however, we look at cities and see what is interesting. vinod fell in love with st. augustine so i guess we definitely are going there. he wants to spend two days there but it's really a stop and go thing that we do. we try to cover as much places as possible when we go on road trips. i have to remind the boss that he gave me the time off already now. he usually acts up when the days are drawing closer. hopefully, there will be no problem. it is already past 3am and i should be getting to sleep. there is much to do tomorrow at work and it's my early day tomorrow too!
