Hello World
Hello blog. How have you been? I know it has been a minute since we last spoke, but let's just blame it on my free-spirited independent streak. I make excellent progress just flying solo. You'll be proud to know that I've got A LOT done.
In the home arena, I now have a 15 year mortgage, skylights and new roof, new siding and shutters. I have put in attic stairs and have hired a contractor for my concrete driveway and detached deck. I'll probably end up hiring a mobile mechanic to help restore my little red sports car. Once that is done I can roll it outside and hire a contractor to finish the basement. I have discovered that one of the tenets of my life is that I hate doing physical labor and that I should hire people to do the things I don't like to do.
Finances are solid. I am anticipating at minimum a merit raise this year in addition to a 5% corporate bonus from profit sharing. Although I have been dropping way too many hundreds of disposable income on entertainment lately. But, as the guy in the video game shop said, "You only live once.". Sage words, my man wearing the greasy, labeled polo shirt and name badge. Sage words indeed.
Career wise, the rumors that I am not supposed to be hearing is that I will be promoted to Engineering level 2 this fall. Quite frankly, I deserve it and indirectly wrote as much on my self-evaluation form. Which one of your MFers knew that Nashville was the center of the medical technology universe? So many hospital corporate offices are located in and around Nashville AND the new convention center will be a world-class medtech showroom. Too much work...
Weight, well you can't OMGWTFBBQPwn them all. Actually, I am fluctuating around 225 with a spread of 219 - 227. I work hard to stay below 227 because for my height that is ground floor for the obesity department. I was hoping to be under 190 by the start of August, but my dieting rhythm was completely destroyed by a work trip to Atlanta back in April and a NYC trip in May. Oh well, I will go to the gym each day for the next 23 days to see where I end up by departure time.
Departure time? Oh, I am going to par-tay in Vegas! I'm not going entirely for the hookers, alcohol and gambling. I am going for the video games.
Well blog, enough about me. Let's talk about what you think of me.
