Rapid Changes, For the Best

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

So I have been busy phasing myself out of my business / partner situation for the past couple weeks because I accepted a job offer that I received through a good friend. The position met all my requirements to leave my three years of trying to build a business for a steady income, excellent benefits and a comfortable workplace.

I had the pleasure of being trained by the previous IT Manager for the past week or so, it really went well, he was very thorough, answered all questions and even said I can call him for help if I am stuck. I find that commitment near and dear to me because I would do the same for someone else who would be transitioning in to my position. So my position is Director of Information Technology and I get to manage a network of 60+ users (and growing). My first official full day of work is this coming Monday and it is going to be a trip I am sure, but I am excited for it, and I am going to work my ass off.

Next Friday Cindy and I will be getting married at the court house then we are having a small party with family on Saturday to celebrate. Afterwards we will be going on our much anticipated honeymoon / vacation cruise, we are stoked for it!

So yeah, lots of stuff going on but all good.

Where Do I Go From Here?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Lately, I have been wondering if I chose the right career path. I really enjoy the technical field, being the “IT Guy”, and oddly enough, have a knack for this type of work, but it is just not cutting it.

My brain perplexes me, one day I enjoy where I am at and as of late, most other days I need to do something more, something different. There are too many things on my to-do list and I am afraid I will never get to them.

I am stuck in a rut and getting nowhere fast. I have too many unnecessary obligations, not enough money or time and I need to see changes or I am afraid my mind will go to waste. I get overwhelmed and lose most, if not all functionality and work ethic.

I know it comes down to being burnt out. I am sick of the non-paying clients, sick of the douche bags, blah fuckin blah. Maybe I need a job, and stop worrying about the business management end of things and get a nice bi-weekly pay check like I used to.

I will figure it out eventually, I just hope it is sooner rather than later.
