1 Month Down.... 11 More to go

It's snowing outside. We are expecting to get between 12 and 18 inches here in Rhode Island. While the white out conditions are good for relaxing, I would have preferred to start my new Job this coming Monday rather than having it pushed back by a week. With that said, I'm grateful to be starting a new job at all. This feels more like a real job than the last few that i had. There is no 90 day wait period for benefits. They start on Day 1 which gives me some hope that the company i am going to go work for is a real company and not just a few Techs in a room servicing 200 Companies. I realize now that the difference between 10k in salary was me getting a question wrong during the interview. I didn't necessarily get the question wrong... i just didn't know the answer and i told them that i didn't know the answer. It was probably better than telling them the wrong answer and bullshitting it. When it comes to IT terms, it's either true or false. 

This week coming up.... I have to wrap up lose ends. Basically work for Uber for the whole week (Providing my Battery and Tire stay good). Then next Sunday relax and get ready for work. I've also got to work on adjusting my Sleep Schedule. I've been living 10am to 1am for the last few months so I've got to adjust it to a more 8-5pm lifestyle. I figure if i start trying to sleep at 9pm.... I'll be able to wake up by 5am so that i can get a normal life. During the week... I'm going to be basically living to work. But if it works out well then the weekends will be a good time.

It's an interesting start to February.

I was outside early today admiring an old birds nest in my neighbors tree. I thought it was interesting because when a bird's nest is left alone all winter, any bird can come back to it in the spring and have their babies there rather than just that one specific bird that first set it up. The nest, looking undisturbed... could have been there for a few years now, and this is the first time I'm noticing it. The part that took my attention the most, wasn't the birds nest, but rather the fact that the tree already had buds on it. It's February 4th... The trees in New England shouldn't have buds on them already. It's too damn cold and the temps shift wildly it'll kill the damn buds and therefore the trees themselves. My book is published and out on amazon. Link below https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DTBTKJ1J

My back is killing me.

 I was reorganizing my desk today and moved my computer and in doing so i heard a pop and felt it in my back. I dont know if i mentioned this before, but sometime last year i was picking up a server at work and when i leaned back with it in my arms, i felt a crunch. My back has been kinda iffy ever since. Other than some mild discomfort and pain, life is good.

A couple of weeks to reset.

Recently, I got a new job. When i went to put in my two weeks at my existing job management indicated that I didn't have to come in and could be discharged early if i wanted. So i said ok. I've had about 2 weeks off by this point and I start my new job on Monday the 28th. I'm looking forward to it.  While I've been off, I've been tending to things around the house and becoming more active. I've been able to go to the gym virtually any time i want... and the wife and I even took up Basketball today. I'm hoping that i can spend this fall / winter / spring getting my physical health in order while at the same time advancing my career. I am also working on Quitting smoking. Today is day 3 of 56 in the program. I'm expecting my sense of smell to improve sometime in the next 24 hours. Usually it kicks in between day 3 and day 5. It usually comes on suddenly and without warning. All of a sudden the smells of the room I'm in are overly amplified. Which can h...
