I haven’t posted here since the interview. As anyone left reading can tell.<\/p>\n

There have been a few things that have contributed to this.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. From the time of the interview I had a verbal job offer within 2 days. I was in town for a week 2 weeks after, had 3 weeks to move, didn’t find a house, moved to an apartment and this weekend I’m moving into the house we finally found.<\/li>\n
  2. We were initially unable to find day-care for my son. As a result; mom has been on full-time solo-parenting duty. Please see my post on being a care-giver to understand how wrecked she’s been in the evening.<\/li>\n
  3. I’m back to full time work as of 3-4 weeks ago after being off work for about 4 months. With this not only comes the adjustment of rigourous work, but ramping up in new technologies. Well, old technologies but handled in new ways you’re expected to learn, grok,and take ownership of already.<\/li>\n
  4. And least of all… I haven’t had much to say.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Moving back to the ‘Burgh has been good. I bus downtown. (I miss my afternoon busses usually by a minute). I’ve reconnected with a few people. Some of which I thought I’d never speak to again. One really nice lunch this week at Primanti’s with probably one of the last people I thought I’d enjoy a lunch with. And for the record. I wouldn’t mind lunching again or more regularly with this person.<\/p>\n

    I’ve been chatting with an old friend from my SCA\/Pennsic days online. Many of my old friends from then are married and\/or have kids. (Hell, I do) My one friend and I have been up talking often until midnight local time or later. Since I get up at 5:30 for work (I am working 7-3 to be home early)… this has left me a little groggy in the morning. But the conversation is wonderful. So, I expect those conversations to continue even if we adjust our curfews.<\/p>\n

    I’m hoping this little exercise will start to break down the mental block I’ve had about #4 above.<\/p>\n

    Initially any new posts may be short so I don’t overwhelm myself into not posting.<\/p>\n

    My amusing link for the week has been the anonymous crush meme at:<\/p>\n

    http:\/\/www.thiscrush.com\/~lordandrei<\/a><\/p>\n

    So here’s a chance to humour me either publicly or privately, openly or anonymously.<\/p>\n

    More soon. *waves*<\/p>\n
