There is absolutely nothing better for me than to go to lunch with my son and wife. We went to the hands on children’s museum and Aaron had an absolute blast. I’ve never seen him play/interact with other kids other than his cousin, Tyler, or our neighbors kids but I did get a chance to watch him interact with some other kids today and he was really cute. He basically just stands there and watches them until they do something that interests him and then he is all over them like white on rice. The museum has a small slide that he kept climbing up and then sliding down over and over again. Now I think we will have to get one for our house, second-hand because those things can be pretty damned expensive.

Anyway, it is a shame I had to leave my great lunch to come back to my shitty job. I hope I can find another job that will pay me enough to keep my house. I really don’t think I can just put all of my stuff into storage and move into a small, cramped apartment. That decision is going to suck to have to make. Until then, I’m stuck here doing who-knows-what from day to day, daydreaming about the day I find a job that won’t care if I just want to work 9 to 5. My career is not my life, my wife and son are.

Well I’m back at my “when will the last day be” job. This is going to be our last week with our lead developer, he’s heading to his new job in Tennessee. With him goes knowledge of our entire system (since he’s written most of it himself). I’d be lying if I said that I wasn’t worried about our future here. The future of our company is placed squarely on my and the other developer’s shoulders and I don’t feel up to the challenge. I will do it though, I’m good at faking enthusiasm (when I feel like it that is).

Anyway, Aaron was a little bit moody *read: terror* sunday (all day). Either he was perpetually hungry or he’s already into temper tantrums at 10 months old. I think it is a bit of both.

Anybody know where an experienced (3+ years) software developer can get a decent job making decent money?! resumes can be found at my homepage.
