The past week has been the same at work. Every day gets better and better, and I'm really starting to enjoy my co-workers. I think they are starting to warm up to me too, even one of my managers who is from Hungary is telling me about her boy problems now. She was upset today because her boyfriend from Hungary didn't call her...go figure, its the same throughout the world! Besides that, not too many encounters at work. Everyday I run into at least 4 or 5 people from the States, but not like the other day with the woman from Columbus. Today I met a guy who's family is in Cleveland and a couple of Aussie's who "traveled through Ohio" and told me about some jazz club in Detroit they liked when they visited the U.S. One English guy, after I told him I was from Ohio in the States, asked "is that near Texas"? Umm no. Maybe I should have said yes to humor myself.
Anyways, in further news, one of my housemates Mickey told us he's moving out by the end of the month and that we will be getting a new roommate soon. He just can't find work here and decided to go and travel for a bit with his money for a while. I really don't blame him, it so difficult for everyone to find a job in this mess of an economy, might as well go do something worthwhile. So, it'll be interesting who the new addition to the house will be...
So, my first BIG trip is Monday to Dublin, Ireland for St. Patrick's day!!! I'm so excited about it. Jamie, Ellen, Brendan, and I will all be staying at his friend Walter's place and meeting up with his friend Matt who stayed with us a couple of weekends ago. As of now, we plan to go to the Guinness factory on Monday when we get there and explore the sights for the rest of the day. Then Tuesday is obviously St. Patrick's day and Dublin has a huge parade that we will definitely be attending. Then of course the festivities throughout the day... That's the tentative plan as for now, I'm getting really excited! I mean I should fit right in, having the name Erin right? It is an Irish derivative for the word "Ireland"..(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin) Yes, I did a wikipedia search on it to make sure I wasn't just making that up in my head. Erin go bragh!

Wow Erin, you are quite the impressive writer. Oh yeh, & your Mum probably hasn't seen your crazy dancing while kareoking (know that's probably misspelled). We miss you here in the Buckeye state. It hasn't been the same without you. We need you in North Dakota sand bagging. Check your e-mail.Kennedy
