Well, I still owe you a post on Drill. Maybe tomorrow.
It's been a while since my last post. It's been a busy 3 weeks. My contract gig turned into a permanent full time job. Its pretty gratifying to receive that kind recognition so fast. It could be because, even though I'm a pretty senior geek, I'm willing to do scut work or whatever needs done. Regardless of the reason, it looks like its gonna be a good, stable job, which is really cool, given the state of the economy.
"But what about the commute?" You ask? Well, that has a couple of solutions: 1) I figured out when I need to leave the house to catch the Max at the right time. That helps. Plus, as a permanent employee, I can park in our building for free. That cuts my commute down to about an hour. That's doable. For 6 weeks of vacation a year and nice bennies, I can do a 1 hour commute. OH, and then there's the best part - they let me telecommute 2 days a week. That makes such an incredible difference! It really makes the whole thing doable.
So, that's been my life for the last month or so - go to work, come home, go to drill practice, coach OHSET practice, get up and do it all again. But the paychecks are coming in now and, with a full time job and a part time job, I am finally able to fix some things we've been putting off. Yay. We now have electricity back to the front of the house. Amazing.
And that's my life in a nutshell.
