fuzmeister: Modern Psychology

---

Wow. You think with a post title like that I would be writing about tonight's presidential debate. For better or worse, I did see it on television - no, I don't want to comment on it. What this post's title is referring to is how conditioned I noticed I've become. Specifically, in this case, to doing my grocery shopping at Wal-Mart. Upon first moving here a week or so ago, I found a Wal-Mart and was pleased... only until I realized it wasn't a super center. While the selection sucked, I bought some groceries there anyway. Walking into traditional super markets (I.E. Piggly Wiggly, Giant, Weis Markets, etc.) makes me feel like I'm in some urban alleyway fighting for a pack of baby carrots. Wal-Mart feels sterile like a hospital which is strange considering their target demographic in this area (no offense to anyone). Either way, I ended up finding a Wal-Mart super center the other day and was overjoyed. I shopped there tonight again and the familiarity was frightening. I do believe my DNA has been swapped with that of Pavlov's poochies.

Today I spent the duration of work in JAVA training. A lot of it was old news - most actually - but still some interesting little things I got in my brain that weren't there before showed up. After coming home I made some food, watched the news, then proceeded to watch YouTube for several hours (mostly I Love The 90s since I don't actually get any good television channels). I'm currently trying to work up the motivation to do something else. It's snowing and cold outside.

Yesterday, an hour was added to my drive home - I was visiting Kate in Johnstown. It was really good to see her again, but it sucks that I had to leave. Feels weird coming back to this empty house and filing back into the daily grind for another week. At least my evenings are free - now if only I could work up motivation to do something.

The cable company finally came today and hooked up the cable. That includes internet. No longer will spend my nights with a roll of bubble wrap.

Today I began my new job at Parametric Technology Corporation. Coming home to a lonely house kind of sucked, but I'll get used to it. Currently, I am piggybacking off of someone's linksys router using my new company laptop until the damn cable company can come do an install over the weekend.

Argh. I wish Kate would call me back.

So I'm moving down near Uniontown come the end of the week. I'm reluctant about doing so, but the hour and a half commute sort of makes it neccessary. I'm renting out half a duplex in an okay neighborhood. Very residential. Monday I start the new job 8 to 5. Can't say I mind that routine, but I could possibly grow tired of it years down the road.

Kate seems to be concerned about how I'll handle living alone again. I honestly don't know - last time I did, I was working part-time at a toy store. We'll see how having a full-time job influences that. I've got to get the internet down there too - otherwise I'll really be on my own. I'll miss her and all the other people I know here. It's strange how we can go from a place like home and meet new people away at university or where ever simply to leave them.

Progress is a strange feeling.
