This morning, our internet service provider was experiencing a service outage, so no YouTube, lol. I received my offer letter yesterday. The tentative start is in less than 2-weeks, pending the successful completion of my background check. I have to give my notice of resignation soon, which I will probably do tomorrow. The process always … Continue reading July 7, 2022
The fireworks last night were less intrusive. My dog didn't bark until my daughter arrived home after midnight. I don't celebrate Independence Day for reasons that run deeply. I have been drawing a lot lately. Stress and bouts with depression are happening more frequently. I am waiting to hear back from a prospective employer with … Continue reading July 5, 2022
Another week of sinister vibes. Revenue generation stalled; there were voluntary resignations and involuntary terminations. The rain is an unwelcome surprise.
The first week of Spring, but it felt like Summer. Those on the East Coast will likely disagree. Another week of long hours and unrealistic expectations at work. We celebrated my grandson's eighth birthday over the weekend. He is growing up quickly. I watched stand-up comedy performed by Earthquake, Arsenio Hall, and Jeff Foxworthy on … Continue reading March 27, 2022
My horoscope says today is the luckiest day of the month for me. The Vernal Equinox welcomes us to Spring. The temperature is pleasant; the wind not so much. Yesterday, I took my car for an oil change; the inspection write-up was an expensive list. The price of gasoline isn't getting any cheaper either. Ukrainian … Continue reading March 20, 2022
A week of themes started on Sunday, 3/13, with Daylight Saving Time; "Spring Forward." Monday, 3/14, constituted "Pi Day," a day of eating discount pies. Tuesday, 3/15, the "Ides of March," I spent the day keeping my back to the wall. Wednesday, 3/16, "3:16 Day," about Stone Cold Steve Austin (Austin 3:16); I think he … Continue reading March 18, 2022
I applied to a company in San Francisco, CA, for a remote position. I did my initial research to learn that it is an early-stage startup company. My experience with startup companies has not been good; the present situation included. I am contemplating canceling my interview appointment, but I don't want to close the door … Continue reading February 8, 2022
Today, we met with the LMS vendor, and the VP of Finance got them to make the changes she wanted, including reducing the number of users by 70%. We can't afford to make the annual payment as she asked if we could do monthly instead of annually. The contract allows either annually or bi-annually. It … Continue reading February 4, 2022
As the week started, I felt joy from hitting a monumental milestone; then, reality brought me back. Time is getting smaller, and the needs are getting more significant. Since Sunday, my wife has been sick; getting an Urgent Care slot is next to impossible. Today, she got an appointment. My cracked tooth stopped hurting, and … Continue reading January 13, 2022
It has been 52-weeks, today marks a new starting point for reinvention. Starting over is the norm—experience gained from the plethora of mistakes. Yet, I am none the wiser. On this day, I find it difficult to fathom that I have spent 52 revolutions around the sun. Time is becoming a crushing weight on my … Continue reading 52 Weeks
