What is on my mind?

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

I actually rewrote this post today. There have been some changes in our group to date. It is because of those changes I rewrote this post. We have changes in management and group vision. These are always considered to be signficant when they occur in the work place. However, this may be a change that is good.

With that change, I have become one of the team leaders. This now requires me to lead all of the long term development that we might have. I basically now have to figure out…How to setup a development shop with a majority of virtual resources, inexperienced people, and ensure we are turning out quality products. There is a vast opportunity for growth and maturity with this effort. Perhaps, I should chronical my days of this change? Perhaps, my writing will also help me to think through some things on this journey. This is what journals are for, right?

Cheers!

The Grind

Sunday, August 27th, 2006

I ended up working a 12 hour today.  It seems my job consumes every minute of every day.  I still cannot get over my management seems to believe they were doing me a favor with a promotion.  The promotion is where I should have been two years ago.

Cheers!

GrandDa

Thursday, August 3rd, 2006

I was driving to work today, and I got to thinking about my GrandDaddy.  I miss him.  I can still remember some of the things he would do for me when I was smaller.  The single memory that sticks out more than anything is the time I took a picture with him and my birthday cake. :)  It was a Popeye cake.  I also remember how he used always make pink lemonade for me.  Also, I remember how we used to always stop at Burger Chef in Vicksburg. :)

I miss you GrandDaddy…

Cheers.

Tired

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

These past couple of days have been the only time I had opportunities to steal some down time. Work is a bit overwhelming right now with hurricane season quickly approaching. Everyday is such a chore. Everyday it appears more and more is being heaped on me too. It seems I am never able to get ahead of the load.

However, I know prayer will see me through. This too shall pass.

Being constantly broke…

Being constantly broke is so depressing.  Even when you think you are slightly ahead, you find out that you are not.  It is depressing I tell you.  Working long hours, and having nothing to show for them.

New Year 2006

Sunday, January 1st, 2006

Well, another year has passed and a new year has begun.  Well, happy new year everyone.  I will be trying to do a better job at posting.  The posts might be shorter, but hopefully they will be more regular.

Cheers!

Some experiences humble you

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

Today was one of thos rare days for me. I had something to happen to me that reminded me of the scope of things. It was a very humbling experience. It actually made me slow down at work. I was originally going to try and be in two places at once. :) However, my experience made me say, “Forget it. I am not doing it.” You might say that what happened was a good thing. I will venture that maybe it was not as great as you would believe. ;)

Cheers!
