A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.
I’m on a local contract now that may provide the flexibility I need for my lifestyle to work as well as pay the bills. I just can’t talk about it much as the company regards confidentiality and ethics very highly. They will read this blog if I have to get a clearance.
Still faced with the challenges of angry collectors, home and child catastrophes, more to do than time permits, battles with the school administration, etc. but all in all things are looking up lately.
Condensation pump died on the a/c and flooded a corner of our closet. The corner we stash Christmas presents to be in. Lost half the stash including one fairly significant one.
This happended because I over stacked stuff in the garage once then opened the garage door crushing part of the top garage door panel. Now the garage doesn’t seal as well as it used to and outside air mixes with the inside air causing the a/c to produce an unnatural amount of condensation. The pump works over time. It slowly dies. I clean it out giving it a reprieve but forget to check it until its too late. It never recovered from the cleaning.
My lack of follow-thru bites us again.
A New Day!

This Morning
I thought of staying up late but was dizzy with tiredness. Woke at 4 but could not motivate. Woke again at 6am and stared at the ceiling until 6:15. I really wanted to be programming and sleeping at the same time.
I’m upset with myself that I have not been forcing solid, uninterupted blocks of productivity over these past several months. I’m behind and I’m not sure how I am going to catch up.
Today: work all day, take 4 kids to Rocky Hill’s open house and book fair by myself, program
Yesterday
Started my contract in Oak Ridge. Was nervous as I could possibly be without getting ill. Things worked out. A part of me enjoyed the atmosphere. A part of me wanted to have a spell of vertigo. Felt like a combination of a scene from Office Spaces (amz) and the beginning of The Matrix (amz) when Neo is talking to his boss.
