Another Day, Another Dollar

I am currently working for a company in NC doing on site system support. This company has just merged with another company and you all know what goes along with that. People loosing their jobs, not knowing yet if they have jobs, people leaving for other jobs etc... The building I currently work in is like a morgue. Each day I see offices closed up and name pacards removed from the door. This could really be depressing if I knew I was going to be here a long time. I only have a few weeks left, then off to the next client. Thank God for that.

You might ask, how do you get through your day? Now you know one of the reasons I started this blog. I am also writing some white papers about the industry, remote development, and other topics. This takes a lot of time, and time is all I have at the moment so I am trying to use it wisely. I am normally on a project that is fast paced with never enough time in the day to get everything done. This in some ways is a nice break.

I am also trying to remodel our home. My wife is currently visiting in Australia and I am trying to use this time to get a few of the project completed at home. Sometimes it is easier to do this when she is away, if you know what I mean. She has told me what she would like to end up with and that is all I need to know. I make it happen. We are redoing the inside of our pool house and actually turning it into a real pool house. Not only will we have the swimming pool outside, but I am putting a pool table inside, this has been a long time dream come true. I may post some photos when completed, just depends on how good I think it looks. But we are after a sort of authentic pool room look if you know what I mean. She won't let me have the beer light over the pool table though, that sucks.

Well, better get back to work.

Have a great day,
