What I’m up to.
January 17th, 2008 YvoIt occurred to me that I should write more on this blog. Alas a lot of times I don’t have something interesting to say or I have to rant about something. Then there are those moments where I truly do want to post something up but another event pops up. I guess this will be a post where those that check in once a year or blue moon will still see I’m alive and doing well.
So what’s going on with me lately? I’m still working at Classmates. Its a good job. Its different working in a larger team then I’ve had in the past. I can definitely see some good things that this already has taught me. The biggest being that everything needs to be discussed and reviewed before implemented or changed. You also have to appreciate criticism instead of hating it. The job has also taken me to Virginia twice already since I started in August. One ended up being a three week trip, the other only 3 days. I can definitely see myself continue to grow there.
Cam and I are also doing well. Christmas came and then passed leaving us with only a small debt as opposed to larger ones in the past. I gave her a nice digital SLR like camera and she got me a TiVo HD. I was finally able to retire the Comcast cable box and replace it for a $1.79 per month cable card. The relationship Cam and I have is certainly a lot better then it was in the past. I’m glad we overcame our difficulties and problems we had earlier this year.
I hope that this year I can start taking part time classes at BCC or some sort of school. While I am gaining a lot of hands on experience in working with systems and year over year I see a dramatic improvement in my skills. However I really wish to improve my communications skills and managerial skills plus I’d be nice if I could get a degree out of it eventually so I have a backbone to my experience.
Hopefully I’ll be successful in my goal and I’m sure I’ll write about it here eventually. For those that do their yearly checks to see what I’m up to… hope all is going well in your life.
