Rolling on....

So we go pretty much 7 days a week.

And I wonder if this is how people used to live...

Is it sustainable?

I don't even know.

In _theory_ on paper, we have 3 spare evenings a week.  But where do they go?

Busiest-week-ever Guilt

I have literally failed to prepare for this week so epicly that:

I"m supposed to be on-call, someone is covering for me and I don't know who
I'm IN THE SAME CITY as my Dad, and didn't know, and
I scheduled a major complex meeting for a day when I was out of town.

This is not so good.

Life is good when...

You're at work, which you love, with your kids, who you love, and you love that you can bring your kids to work on a Saturday and get caught up AND that you are only REALLY here at work working because the hockey game starts in an hour and you have seasons tickets and they're raising the banner for last year's championship and then your friends who have finally achieved a major life goal are in town to celebrate and see everyone...

Life is VERY good.

Wish my nuts-swelling would go down.  Stupid vasectomy

Gettin' old problems

Man, had my Vasectomy this week, and it has taken a toll on me!

I'm exhausted like asleep by 9 exhausted.

But it seems to make my wife happy.


Also, I'm good at my job.

Getting paid the big bucks

Does, on occasion, mean that I can't whine about how other people deliberately misinform or spread lies to inhibit my work.

Don't mean I have to like it though...

Beautiful last month


It's been a good month!

I've been getting some stuff done, not enough, but some...

It's kinda nice.

Ohh, also my kids have been great over the last month, which is great. They're in the same preschool now, which is cool. A little complicated by the fact that Peanut #1 can read already, which is the school's problem, but also really ours because she may get boooooooooooooooored.

More focused today

A little more focused today than yesterday, despite being somewhat hung over.

Work is thundering along quite nicely, very productive and getting things done.  I have good staff and things seem ok!

It's a fun job, and we're working hard to make things better every day, and it's a good, and tough test at the end of the day, to say "hey, did we make it better today?"

And most days we do.
