Aaron Baillio’s Blog

What a stupidly addicting website.  I can’t stop myself!  There used to be all these people I didn’t hear from or care about, and now all of a sudden I care that they just took a quiz about what Star Wars character they were.  Or what they did 15 seconds ago, then 10 seconds ago, then 5 seconds ago…and will they post again?  Certainly.  It drives me bonkers.  I used to be shackle free…and now I must know what random people I once knew in my life are doing all day every day.

My biggest addiction on the site is Mafia Wars.  I am a Skilled Street Thug “Don Baillio” level 12 fearless.  I’m well on my way toward mafia domination.  I can’t sit down at the computer now and not check my mafia wars page.  How addicted am I?  I think about the stuff I can buy!  And why won’t more people join my mafia?  Surely I have invited everyone capable of playing!  Maybe they know something I don’t.  Like, this stupid thing is a waste of time and I don’t want to waste my life on it.  Well, I have yet to clue in.

Anyway, all else is good.  I had my job interview on Monday.  It was unique to say the least but I think I did well.  They sent me 4 questions 20 minutes before the interview so I could prepare.  Then they called and we had a short introduction.  They said I have 15 minutes to answer the questions (Oh, the questions were weighted and I didn’t know the weights so I couldn’t tell which question was more important).  So, they sat back and listened as I spouted off  on my accomplishments for 15 minutes.  They never said a word.  No interaction at all.  Just answer the questions.  So, that was interesting.  Plus, I have no idea what the timeline is for their hiring process or anything.  I am having my boss call and put in a good word for me.  That’s how you get jobs these days…by using your connections.

I also have the pics of Asher’s birthday.  They are posted below.  Hopefully soon I will get around to the video.  But in the mean time, enjoy the pics!

Well, you guessed it!  Today was Asher’s second birthday!  We actually celebrated yesterday.  We had our best friends the Mears come over and we played some Rockband.  Then we went out to Lichtenburg castle over Kusel.  Seen on the right.  It was pretty cool, especially since you didn’t have to pay to get in and you could run around on the grounds and up on the walls and stuff.  The boys loved it.  There is a tower in the center with over 150 steps and Will climbed up all by himself.  It was amazing.  Although, you get to the top and the windows don’t have bars on them so you could plummet to your death if you were so inclined…or a child who didn’t know any better.  Scary!  Anyway, we had a great time and got a lot of good shots.  Then we came home and had brinner.  For those of you who don’t know what that is, its breakfast for dinner.  We had cinnamon roles, quiche, hashbrownes and sausage.  It was great.  After watching Over the Hedge, we had cake and presents.  Asher got a soccer ball which he loves.  He also got a leap frog farm for the fridge and he got some turtle powers (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).  So, all in all it was a lot of fun.  They had to go to bed early, but it was a fun day.
