Just this past week I realized that it’s been over a month since taking on this new position.
Woh!
I’m trying to find a replacement for my old position, so far no luck. We interviewed several people, and I will hopefully have 2 more next week. The workload has been tolerable - yet very heavy at times.
Where the hell did the month of April go?
No other real news… just been busy working 60-70 hour weeks!
Luckily this weekend I get to relax a little before heading to Ann Arbor for a few days for some meetings.
At least we’re trying to plan a few small weekend getaways. So far we’re looking at Southern Cal for Memorial Day weekend, a long weekend down at Rocky Point, an extended stay in Denver in August (after we both attend a business conference), and hopefully a weekend (or two) for camping.
Ah - I found out where my DMB tickets are located… seems like they may be pretty decent. I swear, one of these days I will pay the big bucks and buy some front section seats.

The past few weeks have blown by in the blink of an eye. I’ve been super busy lately.
Deadlines, meetings, and other events.
I think tonight was the first night since I got my laptop that I haven’t lugged my laptop home to do some work. The past week has been so crazy. So it’s nice to get a little break - even if it’s only for 1 night.
But as you can see… I’m still on the computer.
I’m not sure if I can completely unplug.
And speaking of the “virtual leash” - crackberry much?
I swear, I can feel the phantom ringing on my belt all the time!

I got home from work tonight, and I plopped my ass down in my usual place on the couch. I took out my laptop to get some work done, and started booting it up.
I turned on the tv and flipped through my pre-recorded shows. I’ll save Hardball and Attack of the Show for later. What’s on live tv?
Ah… South Park. Ha… this episode is pretty funny. The entire country has no internet!
My computer comes on and I log in. So I check my work email.
I’m waiting… and waiting… and waiting… what the hell?
I do all the usual motions of reconnecting to the router, checking all the cables on the router and modem, everything!
So I went to my last resort. I called the cable company.
Ahhh… it’s not on my end. The prerecorded voice comes on and says there’s an outtage in my neighborhood and techs have been sent. THANK GOD!
As the characters on South Park were starting to go crazy without the internet, I was too!
I’m sitting there calling the cable company again to make sure it’s still out. I was watching the clock seeing how long I could wait to try my browser again.
How am I going to check my work email??? How am I going to do any work tonight (even though I’ve worked each of the last 5 nights after a full day at work as well)? How am I going to look up some guitar music for “band night” tomorrow? What the hell am I going to do?
In a small way I was starting to worry. Ok, so I didn’t travel to Californie… Silicon Valley that is like Stan and his family, but it still sucked none the less.
I admit it, I’m an internet junkie.
