Wanted

Wanted: low-stress job in a casual and creative environment for intelligent individuals, which allows one to think and rewards one for doing a good job with additional compensation rather than additional mind-numbing and energy-sapping work. Requested starting salary: ~$60K (but I’m willing to accept more).

And so it begins …

… the new work schedule that is. Getting up at 5:00am sucks. Lack of traffic on the road at 6:30am definitely does not suck.

However, there is something seriously wrong when I am the first person in my department to show up … wonder how long that will last.

Resolution Recap (and a new list)

What a year, and while part of me is glad that it’s over, another part of me is thrilled by what I accomplished and is really looking forward to continuing to grow in 2010.

A quick summary to get caught up

For the past several months, I was dating a really incredible woman. Unfortunately, it was a long-distance relationship and the 800 miles of separation became too [...]

… felt like ass this afternoon.

Was getting ready for a ride today when my computer started beeping at me, reminding me that I had to go into work today for a training … a situation I was not happy about, but decided to [...]

The Basement Tapes

I spent far too much time hanging out in basements this weekend, and am completely exhausted.

First, on Saturday, one of the storage rooms in the basement of my building flooded; since my condo association is currently without a management/maintenance company, that means that it was up to the board members to clean up the [...]

Stimulate me!

President Obama’s stimulus package passed both houses of Congress. Lots of provisions to stimulate the economy. Here’s how it directly affects me, right now.

Resolutions

It’s no secret to those that know me that self-confidence is not one of my strong points. It’s not that I completely lack confidence in myself, but that the base upon which that confidence is built is fragile, and it doesn’t take much to knock me on my ass.
