Things are okay, I guess. Too busy, and too little time at home thanks to weekends lost to work & travel and a policy against "comp time" from our "new" owner. (The "work" part is writing magazine/journal articles -- I cannot write well in the office, so I do those at home. On weekends. Kind of fun in a way; a lot of people read them, and I get lots of positive comments about the articles explaining our technology.)

It hit home yesterday when I took the day off -- in part 'cuz I *really* needed time away from the office and in part because the goodwife had finally returned home late the night before from back East.

Had two "fun" home computer projects to take on that had been sitting around for a while. Got one done this morning after much wrangling over one small detail that just wouldn't go right. Got started on the second, but had to drop it to head out to the party for the local Free Republic chapter (in a good cause!).

But it's got me seriously thinking about finding a new job. The fit here, never good for the past five years, is not getting any better.

Seems like, if you got a new job, you might still be able to write some articles. You seem to enjoy that.

Isaac Asimov used to do that too, and I'm convinced he had fun at it.

One thing for sure, you fit here on the Undead Thread!

Dang, sion...if your job becomes drudgery, you need to be doing something else. For the last year, I've sensed that you are not happy where you are.

Of course, I'm an outsider, so I "know all and see all" but as a friend, I wouldn't dare to suggest you do anything you haven't already thought of!

I "enjoyed" my trip to Vegas, but I was VERY anxious to get home. I even had some dork try an proposition me on the way to Vegas! LOL! (Reminded me why I'm single...)
