Work
So what's going on with me?
Still working for a good guy who genuinely wants to hear what I have to say. I'm working in an office with two other guys, and yeah it tends to get really loud. I do work from home 1-2 days a week, so that's nice bonus, and truthfully, I get a lot more done here.
What do I do?
- I'm the web applications developer
- I'm the database administrator
- I'm the architect
- I'm the babbling idiot in the corner who looks at that mountain of work behind him and runs screaming into the night.
- I'm the one who on sunday night actually says, cool, I go to work tomorrow.
- I'm in desperate need of a quiet corner where I can close the door.
- I'm someone who'd like to be able to split myself into three so I can do the first three bullet points more effectively.
- I've come further in two years than I had ever imagined or dreamed I could. Granted, the tool I use makes it a lot easier to do my work, but the sheer volume of work I've accomplished is enormous.
- I'm the idiot who drives almost two hours each way to get to work, and I do it.
- I'm the one who only spends 30-60 minutes with my daughter while she's awake depending on the day.
Yeah, that one sucks. I maximize my time with them on the weekends and when I can when I work from home, but it still comes down to the fact that I travel a lot for my job, and I never get on a plane.
That being said - yeah, I'm a little depressed - the benefits I've already gotten and the potential for this job and this company is incalculable. I've gone further in 2 years, than I have in the previous 10. I feel like I am taken seriously and it's scary and gratifying as hell both equally.
k, I'm sleepy now. night.
still 223, still no aikido this week.
what’s going on?
I'm happy. How did that happen? I've always been a happy person, and genuinely interested in things, but I'm happy. Fae and I are having fun together, joking around, being silly. It's nice.
Aidan's slowly but surely working his way out of his funk - understandable as Fae and I were not being very nice or very understanding. It was just one disappointment after the other. Better understanding of what's going on with him and his ADD and allowing him more slack without giving him excuses. He's a lot happier and having more fun, which I am really happy about.
Gillian is pushing at the boundaries, seeing where things are. Her disease is a serious pain in the butt sometimes, but as long as we're careful, she'll be okay. Her attitude lately has been a bit rebellious, but nothing we can't handle - without causing permanent damage that is:) I love seeing her dance around instead of fall asleep at the drop of a hat. Celiac is a nasty little, yet manageable disease.
Me? I'm doing the biggest loser at work and trying my best not to eat every candy bar in sight. It's amazing what you do when you think you're bored.
Weight - 223
Akido classes this week - 0 (and that's probably why I'm a bit blue this week - hoping to get there on saturday)
Oh yeah, I'm going to be recording stuff like that at the end of my entries from now on. Help me keep track of how lame I am being 
39….
39. Wow.
When I was a kid, 30 was old, 40 was ancient! I'm pretty damn close now 
What am I going to do this year?
I'm going to sit on my butt and do nothing. I'm an old man now!
39 is really nothing truthfully. Yeah, I'm a little stiffer and sorer after a work out of if I try to jump over a fence - long story - but I'm still feeling pretty good.
