(no subject)
It's either all kinds of stuff, or nothing. Lately, it's been nothing. Things are good, just very busy out here....well in many ways by choice. Am very determined to get closer to those unspoken goals that I've been wanting for self....just keeping life together, and good. To that end, have huge task list, and have been keeping nose to grindstone, except for a few conversation breaks here and there....and much time with the boy, who is likely to be known from now on as the tall one. Just wait till you see him next!
Currently, pondering jobs in Austin area.....it is actually affordable out there, with family and friends, but things are actually going well at job here. It's just the housing that really gets me. Austin is one THIRD the price of OC. I could buy a full HOUSE for HALF the price of a condo out here. Unless our company goes IPO and goes gangbusters, no way I could afford a house here. If only I could afford a decent condo. Pretty sad, considering how many people are paid so much less than I am.
But, on the end where I can have more influence, have been doing much professionally, continuing the development, and am gaining confidence. Check out the ongoing discussions part of the In2In thinking network. This is the conference I went to back in the end of March that has had impact on me. One of these days, I will write about it. But the short of it now is that they build upon so many of the things I have been looking at, and learning about already, it is amazing. This, I strongly feel is the future of quality, is the root of people doing things right. I tend to get a tad "zealous" in case you have not noticed. ;) I will save sharing for another time.
I do apologize to all my wonderful friends out there. I do miss knowing what is going on with your lives. We are now starting to deal with piles and tasks that have long been put off, so eventually, will be back.
One last note, any current or former Dell employees, please shoot me a note! Thanks!
