What I'm doing, where I've been, where I'm going....
I ran into [info]loganpvp at the Stonebriar Mall in Frisco on Weds. I was in town on vacation and was meeting an old friend that had just started a new job.

I made a clean break some months ago from LJ. I won't go into petty details behind my decision. It was quite liberating. For those interested, the new blog is...

Unfettered Blather

I am still working at a consulting company. My contract in Plano expired and I am now working in Virginia on a long-term contract. I fly twice a week and am home on weekends. It has been hell, but my performance appraisals in light of the tough assignment have been glowing. Not that the work is hard, but the client can be difficult to work with. Despite this, I think they're good people, just disorganized.

I was promoted to Senior Consultant at the end of last year. I believe I had mentioned making Technical Designer earlier last year. I am now attempting to go for Senior Consultant/Architectural Specialist for the end of 2006. I may not make it, but it gives me a goal.

My older son is in an advanced learning class in school. His lowest grade so far has been 92%, but this is only 1st grade so we'll see. The fact that he enjoys school whereas I hated it is a good sign. He takes after his mother, who was a much better student than I was. My younger son is in pre-school and doing well but is a bit of a hellion.

I can't say that I will post here like...ever. I have the other blog for that. After running into Logan though, I decided that I should at least be checking my friends list.

However, I am only getting older and grumpier. Now would be a good time to remove me from your friends list.

Wow, long time no see.

New blog = bookmarked, although I'll be out of commission for 3 months come May, I'll still try to check in on it as much as i can.

I believe there's a way to provide a feed into LJ, so that if you make posts to your new blog, it will auto-update your LJ.

Not that you may care, but it would make it easier on all the rest of us. :)

Intriguing concept.

I know I keep a blogger profile just so that I can comment on people's blogs. I never considered the idea of simply using a feed to do this or that. I wonder how LJ would handle categories?

This warrants further investigation.

Ask AirsickMoth, he does that with his nightlinepress blog.

I really enjoy reading your blogs so I do hope you do something like that.
