for a variety of reasons

smokingpen | July 12, 2009

For a variety of reasons I can’t seem to sit down, long enough, at a computer and write out a blog entry. None of the reasons are due to lack of interest in the blog or, for that matter, lack of things to say. The world is an interesting place filled with opinions and people [...]

The Long Something

smokingpen | June 29, 2009

I think I often have great plans to do big things. I think some of those big things include my blog and making it more popular and more accessible. Point, I started at the earliest posts editing them so that the links all went somewhere, images were either updated or deleted, and they cross-referenced older [...]

Searching for a State of Equilibrium

smokingpen | June 24, 2009

I’ve found that some of the things I want to be doing compared to many of the things I need to be doing have kept me out of a state of equilibrium for some time. Months. I like the idea of writing blog entries and have noted that the number of hits I receive a [...]

Quickly

Well, I am two days into the new job. This is good. I am hoping to like it for a while. The drive is about an hour in each direction, but the outcome is more money and the potential for a lot more. Good times.
Also, I am still messing around with Mind Mapping software. Currently [...]

Now That I Am Done

Moving On…

smokingpen | May 27, 2009

Well, the good news as of this morning (I was tentatively given the good news yesterday) is that I am now changing jobs. “This place” was nice and fine for the time I was able to work for them, but as of today I am done with “this place” with the possible exception of an [...]

Fatigue and Feeling Trapped

smokingpen | May 18, 2009

I was at work all night. This is pretty typical as 5/7th’s of my week is spent at work between 10 pm and 6:30 am. As a result, for the 8.5 hours times 5 days I spend approximately (paid time) 40 hours and 45 hours at a place I don’t like when I am not [...]

Funky Experience

smokingpen | May 4, 2009

Because I work at night I sleep during the day. Generally, given what time I go to bed, I sleep all day and wake up about the point where the sun is going down. Someone might connect this with being a vampire – heck, the service manager for overnights makes that connection frequently, but the [...]
