For the Record :

Vacations suck....

No not the vacations themselves, but more because when you come back, unless you have one of those jobs which is FUN to you and that you look forward to every morning (Of which I dont have) then you realize you were in paraside of one sort or another and you have to come back to real life.

But generally I find myself just finally relaxing and destressing by the time I need to go. (note to self - take 2 weeks Vacay from now on). Then you come back to the daily grind - i.e. the zombie factory. Uplifting isnt it??

Well seriously, I did have a great time while I was at the beach..... just coming back.... sucks....

Good News Comes in Droves!

YES!! It happened!! I got a NEW job! And a much better job in many ways. Ok sure I wont be doing something as directly productive as helping communities like I was doing at HUD, but heck, the paycheck is WAY better, and I was just being a data monkey (thank Cat for the terminology) and a bad writer (never my strongest suite). Now I’ll just be a data monkey doing quality control for the tech help desk for our government entity that oversees the Enron’s or Exxon’s and Jonathan Lebed's of this country. Yeah exciting stuff, but interesting (or so I hope).

Combine that with a week of great activities - and that makes me a happy man!!!
