Professional Work

by
I tend to not post much about my professional work, mainly because it has little to do with my hobby efforts. Jokingly, until my YouTube career truly takes off, and my hobby and work align in harmony (which realistically may never happen), the two are mutually exclusive. However, recent events have caused an increased load…
Buried

Times have been rather crazy the last few weeks, between a world-wide pandemic, kids at home 24/7, and a new contract negotiation at work. Fortunately, I have still managed to squeeze some gaming in, but my website content has been suffering. More of an impact is my video editing – it is rather time consuming…
Travel

by
In the midst of another business trip, this time rather heavily occupied with work (compared the typical slow schedule), so minimal time for updates and news. In concept, this trip will lead to extended our current account contract, which in terms translates into job security for the next many years, but still a bit early…

Alternating between minimal time, and way too much time waiting this week, with a work-related Disaster Recovery drill. For the company that I work a “real” job for, we perform an annual Disaster Recovery exercise. Basically, we pretend that one of the data centers has been destroyed and no longer available, and attempt to restore…

Between the drill and the upcoming Memorial Day holiday, it seems most of the rest of the support staff have conveniently disappeared. As such, it makes it a bit challenging…
Time for a change
—
by
I have been waffling a lot recently, with an on again, off again theory about changing the company which I work for. For the past many years, the current company has been going thru progressively aggressive cuts and layoffs, which adds to the stress and strain of life. However (thus far), I have been able…
Back from Toledo (again)
Another work trip to Toledo, and finally back again. Always seems to waste a lot of my free time driving back and forth, but it is a frequent requirement with my work (the account is very traditional, and likes face-to-face meetings with the support team). Fortunately the drive itself is normally not that bad, although…
