Im still alive

For those that come here and view this diatribe of random and rambling thoughts, yes, I am still alive. I havent posted much as I have been quite busy. A quick run down of whats going on in my life so far.

1. James started flag football and I have been getting him every wednsday through sunday, but school is starting soon so that will change back to every friday through sunday. He just had his first game.

2. We are in a pause with the network upgrade but I had my performance review and it was "based off of the 2 months of improvement" so I got a $.91 raise. The very next day, I find out that the new guy who hasnt really done much, is the "team lead".

Needless to say I have been looking for another job. I have had quite a few bites and 2 days ago I had an interview and then an impromptue phone interview. The phone interview went well, its a job that would pay me $20K more than Im making now, actually getting me to the national average of a network admin. I am all about that job. Doing what I do now, but with more pay and I would be working by myself..... :) I like that.

3. Struggling to keep a positive out look on my current employment situation.

When you feel that your not appreciated or you understand that your supervisor "tollerates" you as best they can but would rather you not be there, it makes your job quite dificult. However, Im struggling to get through it all.

I was telling a friend yesterday that to me, I have a sensation about me that Im almost done at this company. Im comfortable with it and I feel as though Im a short timer there.

Well, thats just a quick run down for me. I will try to post more later.
