Life As Nick Starr

Yesterday, despite coming down with a cold (and I have officially lost my voice today), I started a new consultant gig with a company down in Sarasota, Fl. It isn’t that far from St. Pete, but there is the Sunshine Skyway bridge to cross, which is quite the impressive bridge. I’ve decided to just stay down this way instead of the long commute daily.

Yesterday was the first day and from what I saw of the job, it is quite simple and something I can do no problem for the next 4-6-8 weeks. This is also the highest paying job I’ve ever had as well, so it will help in my move fund to San Francisco/San Jose, which I play on doing once this job has ended.

Last night I played poker at the local dog track down here, which has the best looking poker room in all of the Bay area, and ended up walking out with an extra $350. I still plan on going back to Pinellas as I have a few items from Amazon being shipped, and the new Apple Bluetooth Headset looks quite impressive, and hit store shelves yesterday.

As far as I can tell there is little to no 3G coverage down here, so my 3G+ card from AT&T isn’t the most useful, but there are always coffee shops with WiFi. Well, until later, take care.
