Update…
It’s an interesting time in the life of Mike. I haven’t been blogging much. Instead, I’ve been twittering.
Reggie is doing great. He’s doing well in the “we potty outside” department. In the two months we’ve lived here, we’ve only had two accidents and one marking incident. Of course, the marking incident was while the parents were here.
My place in Salem is still awesome. The kitchen needs a good cleaning, and I plan to finish painting the living room this weekend. At some point, I need to move some stuff from the spare bedroom to the basement, but that’s not a priority since I don’t really use the spare bedroom. If I start working from home more often, I might set that room up to be an office. My loveseats need a few new slipcovers. The existing ones tend to get dirty very quickly.
Have I mentioned that I absolutely love my Roomba?
And then there is work. Things are rough for me right now. My job sits on the fence between operations and development, yet I feel like I don’t belong in either group. Add that to the fact that I’m completely OCD about security and internal controls, and it means I’m not having a good time. Don’t get me wrong. I love my job and I love this company and the people.
Last night, I updated my resume on Monster. I won’t say that I’m looking for a job because I have it good where I am. To leave and go somewhere else would be an exercise in stupidity. I’m not going to entertain the idea of leaving unless I find something truly amazing.
After updating my resume on Monster, my phone and e-mail were working overtime today. A lot of it was crap. Contract positions aren’t on the table. Law firms and banks are equally undesirable. My rule is that if I can’t wear jeans or bring Reggie to work on occasion, I’m not interested. Now the ping from the video game company got my attention. That sounds interesting.
I’m hoping things work out for me at Shawmut. I like it there, and it’s comfortable. The people are good. At the same time, it feels good to know that I have options if they’re necessary.
