About

My name is Mike Hillwig and I live in Salem, MA with my pug, Reggie. I'm a DBA (database administrator) with a high tech company. Originally from the Pittsburgh area, I moved to Providence in December 2004 and then to Boston in November 2005. March of 2008 brought me to Salem on the Massachusetts north shore.

What else do you want to know? I'm an aviation geek, a foodie, have some tattoos and live with Multiple Sclerosis. This year, I'm in my first season singing Baritone with the Boston Gay Men's Chorus. If there is anything else you'd like to know, just ask. I'm hardly shy.

Better(ish)

I’m feeling a little better, but I must have eaten something bad this morning. I wasn’t feeling too well around 10:00 and I went home and got some sleep. That did wonders for me.

I came back to work for our ESOP meeting. The biggest news I heard out of that was that we have no intentions of going public. That’s a big deal.

I finally talked to my neurologist. She says we’re doing everything right with the prednisone and that the utter exhaustion is fairly common. She says to get as much rest as I can to let my body recover. I need to call her office tomorrow to schedule a followup appointment.

My boss is awesome. I told him about the talk with the neurologist, and he told me to relax. He said that the last thing I should stress over right now is my job. Heck, he even offered to help me move. Then we talked about some work-related stuff, and he gave me the okay to buy a new desktop computer. Right now, I have a really sweet 19” flat panel monitor, and I’m getting an additional one. My new computer will have a ton of hard drive space and a boatload of memory, in addition to the dual video.

Yeah, things are getting better.
