Semi Busy  

Monday, May 08, 2006: 

I want to apologize to my friends and relatives for not being around much this semester. Somehow I have managed to heap too much on my plate again. When I graduated from college, I decided to take it easy, work only one job and limit the number of projects I took on. I wanted to read more, play more golf, watch more movies, go to bed early and spend more time with friends and family.

This week marks my second complete year out of school. I have had limited success in my pursuit to do less. Since graduation I have managed to almost always be semi busy. Over the past few days I have had plenty of down time available for thinking. (about three and half days – see post below) I realized that I am not playing golf, I have NetFlix sit for a month before I watch them and I have been staying up later.

As usual I have no one to blame but myself. Of course I have the usual things that keep me busy this time of year - helpdesk scheduling, hiring new student workers family in town, etc. Since spring break I have broken my usual rule of one large project at a time. At home I have started installing wood floors. My progress has been slower than I anticipated. More notably, one of my co-workers and I have started a small web development business. I am now an LLC. Ill post more info on the floors when they are finished and the business when I have everything set up.

After I get caught up I think I need to figure out how to keep myself from starting more than one project at a time. I want to start playing more golf, reading and sleeping more.
