Guitar Hero VS Work
Long time no post. Besides the normal non-postingness, I have been working crazy hours lately which is always a blast.(50+ billable hours ~= 65 work hours) This is generally all good. I've grown kinda accustom to the long hours and in a way its kinda fullfilling (yeah, I'm a work-a-holic). The really problem with working all these long hours is ( Read more... ) -
Adapting in Marin - They don't seem to like power risers.
Been meaning to do something. Kinda of braindump of all my experiences as I attempt to adjust to a life in the Marin. With any luck, (time and work permitting) I kinda wanted to make this a semi-regular update but well see what happens ( Read more... ) -
The move is on.
Well, it's been a long time since I've updated so I thought I might as well just throw this one out there. As of January, I no longer live in San Francisco. It just didn't make sense for both sweetmegumi and I to make the commute across the Golden Gate every day to go to work. The bridge toll is $4 dollars with Fastrak (normally it's $5) so that added up ( Read more... ) -
FREEEEEEEDOOOOOOMMMM............. *cough*cough*
Woho, I'm finally free from the grips of Micro$oft certification test hell. As of last Tuesday, I am officially a Micro$oft .Net security certified engineer. I needed a 700 to pass and I squeaked out of there with exactly 700. ^^;; (with any other test I would have been pissed about "just" passing. I was just glad to be out of there alive.) The ( Read more... ) -
Not 1 but 3 Thanksgivings. ^_^¿

The event of course had it's snags. The fresh mussels we were planning to serve didn't happen because the crazy asian market (anyone need beef bold tofu?) I knew that ( Read more... ) -

Wow, what a week. Work has been pretty crazy hecktic lately with a pretty big project landing on our plate this week. Top that off with a nice heaping helping of studing for two different Microsoft certification exams 70-320 and 70-340 for work so we can as a company get special status with Microsoft. Top that off with a wonderful tension ( Read more... ) -
Moving, shaking, changing....
Well, the end of a hellish two weeks is here. Thankfully I've come out of it alive and not completely stressed out (though really tense). It's good when all the hard work pays off though because all our delieveables looked good. And today was an extra interesting day here at work because we got to play musical desks. Basically the two sides of ( Read more... ) -
Tiny update
I keep telling myself I need to write in my journal more often. Maybe I'll learn. Anyway, just a quick update. Things are going very well. As always work is busy. Besides the usual long days (9-6), I've been doing some late nights and a few hours here and there on the weekend to keep up with the tasks on the table. The hours can be a bit ( Read more... )
