  • 2017-07-01 Welcome to the Second Half…

    … of the year. In January at my sisters wedding I was drunk texting my friend Rebecca in Austin and taking pictures of the reception. I remember thinking how beautiful my sister was in her dress and how happy everyone was and how much fun it was out on the dance floor. At that moment,…

  • 2017-06-28 Waking Up Unemployed

    I woke up this morning at 6:22 after about 6.5 hours of sleep. It may take me a while to get used to sleeping in later than that, or I may never be able to sleep later than that which would be OK. When I wake up at that time, I generally have some time…

  • 2017-06-23 Now What?

    Four weeks ago when I quit my job it felt scary, but wonderful. I felt as if a huge weight was lifted off me. All the technical debt of the past and all the piles of work in the future were suddenly not going to be my problem anymore. I had resolved to take some…

  • 2017-06-21 Still Too Much

    Things have transitioned from “feeling better because the weight of the job stress is melting away” to “oh shit, I have two days left to finish some stuff”. It started at four, now three, now today, waking up at 5AM again, it’s two. TWO DAYS LEFT OF WORK. Today I have to switch gears and…

  • 2017-06-19 A Most Momentous Monday

    I woke up at about 5:30 this morning after maybe 6.5 hours of sleep. I don’t feel super well rested and I don’t want to face this day. I really don’t think I am prepared. It’s my last Monday at my job. This is the last Monday and this is my last week. I’m going…

  • 2017-06-15 Mid Month Moodiness

    The last few days have been a struggle again. My emotions at work ran high yesterday and I have about a week left and I can’t quite figure out why I was letting things get to me. I woke up at 5AM yesterday and 5AM again today and something is stuck spinning in my brain.…

  • 2017-06-09 The Human Connection

    It’s Friday afternoon and I’m just finishing up my work day. I was able to get to most of the things I intended to get to today including sending out a communication to all my customers letting them know that I am leaving the company and my last day is the 22nd of June. Five…

  • 2017-05-30 Denver – Make it Count

    This has been a pretty quick trip and today is my last day so I need to make it count. I’ve already been rocking and rolling on work issues this morning and I should be able to get a ton of stuff done. It’s amazing what an entire day free from interruptions and the burden…
