Reality Me

A year ago I toyed with trying to raise funds to enter this Robot Race. If I was more financally stable, these are the kinds of endeavors I would enjoy and I bet my team would have been in the final heat!

A buddy of mine gave me a heads up that a perm position in Knoxville was coming available then the phone rang seconds later from a recruiter describing the job. Under salaried; over specified–but something perm.

Proudly sporting my The ThinkGeek ‘Ties Suck’ Tie today.

I give it a “must buy” for all techies!

Made plans with an old friend for this evening.

Made plans with the wife and the Red Cross for Saturday night. (Reminds me of how I watched theatre in college. I ushered to see the show. Now I fix broken people to see the show)

Great progress on project.

Now breaking for lunch.

I feel energized and alert!

Good drive to client location yesterday. Productive day. Relaxing evening. Stretching this morning and feeling physically and mentally strong.

A New Day!

Wow! I just checked. Looks like we are doing ok on bills. The timing on this should work out very well.

Very tired and so many things left undone. The biggest is not applying for a web development position that popped up. Perhaps I will make that a must do goal before leaving. As long as I leave the house by 8am I’ll be doing fine. I really need a laptop. I think the next computer purchase will be a laptop for the household.

Cingular is really making me mad. How do you know if its your phone that is bad versus your service?

Did some cache maintenance on two Geocaches today. That felt good. Renewed the tags for the Jeep so I’ll be legal to drive tomorrow. Granted, I’m not mechanically where I need to be but as long as I’m not forced to parallel park or get boxed in, I’m fine.

I put a new battery in my watch that hangs from my belt loop. The 21 mth old has seen it for the first time and is determined to figure out how to remove it.

Bill collectors are back. But being very friendly!

Productive morning thus far. Paperwork in place for new contract. Finishing touches on a two day project that took 2 months. Client invoiced!

Now a lunch break and then I’ll seek some paperwork. I either have to license the Neon today or the Jeep. One of the two must have tags. Then I drive with either a busted tail light or a busted starter. I’d prefer to take the car simply so I can lock up my stuff. Driving with luggage in a Jeep and taking a reststop are challenging to say the least but I’ve learned a few tricks.
