I finally finished moving to Glendale. I had to face some drama from the previous apartment manager who did not want to check the apartment when we handed it over and wanted to check it later when we were not there. Anyways I am kind of glad I moved to Glendale, the area near my house seems nice, there is a community college close by. Also there are a lot of stores that are close by. The neighbors near my house seem friendlier than my previous apartment.

I am working on improving the way I conduct myself at work, which includes talking slowly and also not constantly babbling with everyone. I am also thinking of interviewing with the power system side of the company. At my workplace one needs to build up a certain reputation, which means not talking too much, sitting at your desk, looking serious, etc. I have been told that I don't look or act serious enough, even though I am doing work. People often do not take me seriously. However I have tried to cut down on silly jokes. I avoid trying to be the funny guy all the time.

I am still trying to understand my boss. He seems to be strict only to me and that's due to my reputation. I have started appearing more serious in his presence.

Other than that, I went and had some free ice cream in the cafeteria in my company. I am glad I exercised a little yesterday and hence I was able to eat ice cream today.

I do my Mariciyo Paulson exercises about two or three times a day, I need to eventually up it to ten or twenty.

I am frustrated with people asking me when I am going to have a girl friend. My female coworker said that I am too old to not be having a girl friend yet. I felt a little bad when she said that. She said that she felt sorry for me. I told her that being in the engineering profession and other factors have to lead to my inexperience with women. She then agreed and said that engineering is a good field for girls to find a guy, because there are so many guys and very few girls. We both agreed on that, but also agreed that it was not a good field for guys to get girls.
