It’s been a while since I’ve actually ‘written’ a blog, so this one will be in note form.

After a year and a half, a guy has been hired to take over my position as the server administrator on a project that I’ve been working on. Huge relief to have my weekends back and a silent phone throughout the night. The new guy has actually come from a job where he was working overtime and being on call 24/7. This is a new step for him to a slower paced job.

I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing a triathlon this summer. More specifically a sprint triathlon. The flu has kept me out of the gym the last two weeks, but I’m finally feeling better. I’m no where in shape for a triathlon yet, but it is attainable. I’ve got the biking part down.

Spent an hour getting my truck out of my front yard this morning. I usually park in the front of the house with one side of the truck just off the side of the road. Well, last night we got a good 6″ of snow. When I pulled out this morning the back of my truck swung into the front yard. I eased it up and out of the front yard till I got my front wheel stuck in my neighbor’s yard. Lucky another neighbor came over and gave me a hand. It was one of those days that I just thought about leaving my truck cockeyed in my front yard and working from home.

Winter is really starting to wear on me. Well, probably everyone. I keep having daydreams of firing up the charcoal grill and taking the bike for a long ride. Some day… some day.
