Ah, funny how true this one is!

We’re leaving for our cruise to the Bahama’s this Thursday! It’s a short cruise, only four days and three nights but it will be very nice to get away. Meri’s parents are flying in Wednesday and they are going to watch Aaron and Eli while we are gone. It’s super nice that they are able [...]

I resigned

No comments

Lost in the busyness of Aaron’s surgery, I resigned from my current employer, effective next Friday (July 25th). I will start my career as an independent consultant with a new client. I’m excited to start a new chapter in my career, although I’m a bit nervous about having to find new contracts when current ones [...]

I had an interview yesterday for a 6 month contract. I really liked the facility and the work environment seemed very clean and nice. The people I interviewed with were very nice. The only problem I have with it, is the length of the contract. My biggest worry is about not being extended. Both of [...]

Overnight workings

So this week at work, I was a lucky participant in the Disaster Recovery (DR) exercise. My involvement in the DR exercise this year (it is performed yearly) was that I sat in an un-cooled room with a lot of other lucky participants and we all did some things and everything generally went well.

We got back from our trip to mass. on Tuesday. The trip was like our normal trips, some fighting, some fun, more uncomfortable than anything really. We had Aaron’s birthday party on sunday, in mass. He had a lot of fun and got quite a few gifts. We had to mail ourselves a box full [...]

Eli is eight days old. After having him with us, I can’t help but wonder…why didn’t we do this sooner?! Seriously, this is great. Eli sleeps through the night (mostly, he might wake up twice), cries softly and is adorable too! It is wonderful to see Aaron interacting with him. Oh! Eli takes a pacifier! Do you know/understand [...]

Resignation

Today, I resigned from my current company. I’ve known this day was coming for about 26 days now. The decision to leave my current position was one of the easiest I’ve had to make in my young career. I did learn a lot from my time here and have worked with two of the finest [...]

I left yesterday at my normal time (around 4pm).  Yesterday was a bit odd for me in that I actually filled out a form so that I could use some vacation time!  I also asked our HR person how much sick and vacation time I would have left after I took the four days I [...]
