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 [...]
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.

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 [...]

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 [...]
