Blogjam (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/books.php/item_id/1493443-Blogjam Wow, what a difference a week makes! A week ago Rina and I were chilling in sunny South Florida. Sunday - first snow of the year in Atlanta and we got hit with about 4 inches. Florida was great, we spent time kicking it on the beach in Fort Lauderdale, cruised down to Key West for a day, and spent time hanging out on South Beach in Miami. Weather ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 03 Mar 2009 18:00:41 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/638254 Happy Birthday to me!!! Yesterday was my birthday....42. Double 21. I'm two times an adult. Or whatever. Thanks to those who have inquired of my whereabouts. I've been extremely busy and probably a little checked out. I've been on the road alot lately, every week. Spent last week in LA and San Fran, the weather sucked in both plac...[Read Full Post] Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:20:38 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/636109 Saturday. I have committed to not working today. I've been through a string of very long days, last Sunday being the longest. That was the day I had to let all the people that work for me know that they are losing their jobs. It was taxing both emotionally and physically, I worked from 5:30 am to 1:30 am, then had to be at work again at 6:00. No...[Read Full Post] Sat, 31 Jan 2009 05:47:20 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/633065 Wow, it's been awhile. I spent last night catching up on some blogs (no time for replies, just reading!). Thought I better let you know I'm alive. The news hit the press a couple of days ago that our company is eliminating 7,000 jobs, including the division I work for. I have had to spend the last few days communicating to the couple hundre...[Read Full Post] Wed, 28 Jan 2009 04:53:46 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/632462 OK...one day at a time, right? Made it through yesterday, now lets work on today... I found out last May that I am Type 2 Diabetic. That was a huge shock as I don't fit the typical profile of a type 2...I am pretty active, adhere to a fairly decent diet, am not overweight (6'1", 175). I had been not feeling well for around a year and th...[Read Full Post] Wed, 14 Jan 2009 06:12:21 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/629583 OK, I'm back. Wow, what a rollercoaster ride of a night. I can't sleep. I have not been unemployed in over 16 years. Even though I am still working for the next few months I am in a position where I could be unemployed. I feel betrayed. I was moved to a "safety" position that ended up being not so safe after all. And yet my pos...[Read Full Post] Tue, 13 Jan 2009 00:30:35 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/629356 Howdy! It's been a while since I posted, times have gotten pretty busy. School started up again for me. I have two classes this semester, Organizational Change which is pretty timely given the project I am working on at work, and Adult Learning and Diversity. Fun! These two classes have a ton of papers to write, I think I have something like 12 ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 11 Jan 2009 05:55:12 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/629021 I'm feeling kind of pissy this morning. That's not good because this is going to be a long freaking week. I think the two four-day weekends and slow holiday weeks got the best of me, I've lost my momentum. Worked sucked yesterday, I was literally in back-to-back meetings for almost 13 hours. Not a way to come out of a long weekend, I ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 06 Jan 2009 04:12:50 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/628072 Haven't been able to sleep much the last few nights with Rina gone. I've learned to adapt while I'm traveling, but can't sleep a lick without her in the bed. So, last night I was feeling kind of drowsy early and decided to turn in early. I went upstairs about 6 and watched TV until 7:30-ish. She hadn't called much all afternoon an...[Read Full Post] Sat, 03 Jan 2009 06:08:06 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/627540 Alrighty...I intentionally didn't post yesterday as it was the first day after the contest. I posted religiously for the full month of December, all prompt driven. Today I'm going to get back to general observing...translation, bitching and moaning. Rina has been in Kentucky with Ryan since Tuesday. They're coming back tomorrow afternoo...[Read Full Post] Fri, 02 Jan 2009 06:14:22 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/627377
