Yay! I get to travel again tomorrow! Yay! Does my smile look real still, or is it obvious I’m grinding my teeth an getting a wee bit tired of spending the week in San Francisco and the outlying areas?

I’ve been home all week. After the past six weeks or so, this doesn’t feel natural. Nice, but not natural. Today was the first day I’ve woken feeling happy in a while. Being puppet-boy for a disorganized and understaffed proserv team (yes, I am an Army of One here) has been incredibly stressful. I am [...]

Hello world, Yes, I am still alive. It’s been a bit crazy around here for the past month; I’ve spent more time in hotels in California than I have at home. Hopefully that will change soon, either because I am done working for my latest manager and back with my old manager, or because I [...]

Ooookay. So, coming back from vacation wasn’t such a brilliant move after all. Had I the resources, those two weeks would have given me a good running start for a life of freedom. Turns out, Cisco’s looming like a bad, um, looming thing? and NBA’s demanding some results. So, off to Suckass, NJ again to [...]
