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.
