been almost four months
feels a lot longer
life has been...life
changed jobs twice since October. First, I spent three months at a med. device company, unhappy with most of everything about it.
then took a contract working at a product dev company finishing the same project i was working on at a different firm. i was there for about a month, then got the permanent offer.
i am now employed, as permanently as one can be, with all the trappings of such things. and, assuming i continue to do well, at the "annual review" in june, i get a title-bump. further, they want me to be their "prototype-shop guru." which is to say they've charged me with helping redesign layout on the shop, and make sure everything is kept up and running. i'm also in charge of making sure that everyone knows how to use the tools (which includes a bit of brushing up on some of them myself)
meanwhile, things with w sadly didn't work out. which is, unfortunately, a thing that happens sometimes. doesn't make it not sad.
in the world of personal forward motion, the robot is going well, and the space at ArAs is in the process of being re-sorted to be at all useful. this is good. i'm feeling a lot more successful drive to go there and make things. which is good. i actually have a few ideas, and a desire to finally finish some of my older ones.
finally started running to prep for TM in june. actually excited to be starting to use my body again. maybe i'll start being happier with it, and taking better care. that would be nice.
i feel like i haven't seen anyone in forever. i'd like to change it. one step at a time, i suppose.
