Drink Rum

So since 2003 or 2004, my career has been on a slowly sliding downward slope. My last years at the White House were pitiful. The days that I mentally showed up for work I would just get kicked around by assorted ass hats. Most of the time, I'd just show up and collect a heavy paycheck.

As regulars know, eventually I just got fed up and quit. I did contract proposal work for a couple months but that was even more moronic.

Then my health went to crap.

At the moment I'm just idling in my current spot trying to figure out what to do. The money where I am isn't sufficient to keep me happy in the long term and there's no real growth potential at all. In the meantime, though, it's not mentally demanding so aside from occassional boredom, it's not terrible.

I should really figure out what I want to do in life and do it. I'd hate to think that I peaked professionally in 2001. Bleh.

Kerie, on the other hand, is steadily moving up. She just finished her first of three semesters for her CDA. She put in a lot of work and got herself a well deserved A. She's also getting a raise and a positional promotion to supervisor. On top of all of that, she's being transferred to the location 3 miles from the house. You can't beat a five minute commute.

So she's movin' on up.

Also... the deck and fence plan was approved by the ACC/HOA today. Tomorrow I can Tony and we'll get construction scheduled.

Still looking for a party at the end of the month.
