Holiday Pictures

I finally got around to uploading some pictures from Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can see them all in the Gallery.

The kids both had really good times opening all their presents. Anna got a kitchen, a dinosaur, and a new dolly. Baby Johnner just got a bunch of stuff to chew on, which he would do with anything he got anyway.

Long time, no blog

It's been a while since I've posted anything. I've uploaded several pictures to the gallery, but just not posted anything.

Work had been really busy and stressful lately. Things finally started to get unbearable the past couple of weeks so I decided to put my resume out there and see what happened. The very next morning a lady called saying they liked my resume and wanted me to come in for an interview. I scheduled it for that following Tuesday.

The Monday before my interview the 'boss man' and I got into it again. The topic of argument this time was a familiar one. Perform the task of specking equipment, and getting quotes for something without a design or clear specifics of what the requirements of the project are. I informed him that this was an unreasonable request, but he insisted it was simple, and that it is something that could be done rather easily.

This sort of thing happens all the time with him. Several members of my team have gone to him with complaints about this approach, and it continues. He says he is going to change his ways, and never does. We got into a pretty heated argument and I told him I wasn't going to work on it. I was busy doing a million other things and didn't have time to look like an idiot asking the vendor to provide a quote with no specifications.

Long story short, the following day I had my interview and they offered me the position on the spot. I got into work at about 10am, and sent my resignation letter. Moments later I was asked to gather my things and leave the building (standard procedure for a sys admin). I was sad to leave my work buddies, and all the systems I've built, but the stress from above was too much, and just wasn't worth it. I still get paid for my remaining two weeks, and get to start my new job a week early. Extra $$'s is always nice. Hopefully this position will be a lot better.
