Can't Sleep
It's been a while since I updated. I think I decline to post because I've always got so much to talk about and so little spare time to talk about it. Well... maybe it's more that I can't be bothered to sit still long enough to actually put it into words.
Tonight I'm having a bit of a hard time getting to sleep. My mind's going a mile a minute about all sorts of things which are going on in my life right now. I've got a major project at work that I've mostly admitted defeat on. I've got an idea for how to approach it, but I'm not sure it's gonna get approval. I've got another project which spans multiple departments and would really help to streamline the entire production line, but it's been wasting away in the design phase largely because I was put in charge of it and I haven't made it my top priority. Counter-balancing those two points is the fact that I'm still on the lookout for a new job. I've got a call with a recruiter tomorrow afternoon, I've got my resume in with another recruiter, and a third recruiter pulled my resume out of the database at Google (didn't think they actually MEANT that they'd keep it on file...) and I'm waiting to hear back from him. I've also got a triathlon in a month, I'm carrying 12 lbs more than I was 6 months ago, I've got almost a dozen checks that I haven't been able to cash in over a month 'cause Michelle's last name isn't "Clark" yet, my sister's about to turn 21 and I won't be able to make it down there to celebrate with her, and I'm trying to better and maintain my relationship with my new family up here.
So yeah, a couple things going on. Nothing that I can't handle, though. I just gotta be the man that I know that I can be instead of the kid that I've been for so long.
