Ready for another weekend
I’ve survived another week of work. In the evening I was able to put up the new bunny pen. It was a good day.

Selling the future for the present
It feels like I keep doing what is good for the moment at the expense of taking time to prepare for the future. I need to revise my resume and prepare to look for a job more conducive to my needs and my talents but I sirens ask my time trying to standalone things at…

Spending time
Work was drudgery today. By the time I got home I had no emotional energy left. Thankfully my reaction was to sit down when the boys were asking me to play Uno. We ended up having a nice half hour together and then Savannah and I went to the library with Noah and Ezra for…

Working vacation
I get my second 5-day weekend of the last 3 weeks. I have a lady list of things to do which I started on this evening. We are moving rooms, hoping that the house will be ready for Laura to return tomorrow, starting Laura’s organizing business, revamping my resume to be optimized for software architecture,…

End clean
One of the sure, daily business for summer is “start clean, end clean.” Yesterday was chaotic – especially the ending – so we didn’t really end clean (or start clean for that matter).

Work and inspiration
I realized today that I have no current interest in working at Dominion Energy (as the name became today) going forward. That could potentially change (by me finding a better work situation within the company) but that’s how I feel in my present position. Unless I get a severance option I’ll hang around for at…

What does this imply?
We were told by email today that Dominion is seeking to complete the long-term structural realignment by August of this year. That will include reporting changes, job title alignment, and pay adjustments as necessary. This is where involuntary job losses can potentially take place or employee rights are triggered to be able to leave with…

Getting organized
I don’t know if I mentioned it here previously but last week I concluded that Laura would do well to sell her services helping people organize and declutter their homes or offices. I told her as much but until today she didn’t really look into it. Today she looked into it after having ruled out…
