I find this interesting.<\/p>\n
Every time I post to my blog, I swear that I\u2019ll get off my ass and post more to my blog. With me being sort of anti-social yet trying to be social (virtually) is quite an interesting challenge.<\/p>\n
To say that a lot has been going since my last post \u2013 is a huge understatement.<\/p>\n
However, I have to keep my ADD in check and only work on one article at a time. First and foremost \u2013 is me \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I turned 46 yesterday (June 2). For some reason, I have been doing a lot of retrospection. Could be that I\u2019m officially over the hill now. No idea, I\u2019m a little weird \u2013 what can I say.<\/strong><\/p>\n Anyway, I started back to school to get a Masters in Computer Science. I started my first class at the first of the year. I hated it. It kicked my ass and made me cry every night when I went to bed (not really…just every other night). I was afraid that I wouldn\u2019t pass the class \u2013 seriously. However, I scored an A.<\/p>\n Also, during this time, a lot of organization changes were going on at my work place. Just FYI any large company that acquires another company \u2013 goes through what I call the terrible-two\u2019s stage. It is a stage of turmoil that last about two years. During this time – no one has any idea what the hell is going on, everything changes weekly, and managers in the chain-of-command jockey for face time with those who are above them.<\/p>\n Here I was, just trying to lead my team of 18+ through this mine field.<\/p>\n I wasn\u2019t just a manager, I was also one of the developers. I had very little personal time outside of work due to work much less taking on a degree plan that required a huge amount of dedication. An old friend and boss of mine tossed me a life-line and offered me a position.<\/p>\n Now, I hated leaving my old team but hopefully my new position will allow me a little more freedom in my off time.<\/p>\n And tomorrow, my last child will graduate HS. No more packing lunches, no more waiting in pick-up lines at school, or scheduling dental appts around school time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I find this interesting.
