John’s Blog

Haven’t written in the blog in a long time. But then again lots has been happening and it is hard to keep up with everything these days.

So far in the last week we have:

• Moved to a different state
• I started a new and complicated job
• Been trying to get settled into new house

The result has been a very large lack of sleep, and almost no free time. So yeah, can you say tired and stressed out?

I will write more about our move, my new job, and other interesting developments as I get more free time (hopefully soon, like this weekend).

I had lined up some contract work that was to start this week and run for a couple of months. Now it wasn’t exactly anything amazing, but it was something to keep the cash flowing in while I kept on the job hunt. Unfortunately, the work I had lined up fell through. So instead of returning to New Hampshire and starting a new project today, I am still up here in Maine. Yes, the last month of coming up to visit family and relax was nice, but I am itching to get back to work. The only issue is that the job market around here is horrible to say the least. I am really thinking it is time for us to get out of this area all together.

Well for now I am off to do another job search, then go grab a coffee and some breakfast. Oh, and by the way, if you had considered visiting Maine recently but didn’t. Don’t worry, you haven’t missed much. For the last month pretty much all it has done is rain.

Well it has been a while since I have posted anything on here. Seems like everytime I say I am going to get better about posting more often something comes up and I never do. This time it has been both work and the impending holiday. I manage a business that also has a retail shop, so with it being Christmas time that has been extra busy. Add to that the fact that the end of the year is approaching, which means that many business are looking for end of year write offs. We have been building out and installing servers, desktops, and laptops for business clients all month. Which has had me running like a mad man since 99% of the field service calls are done by me. All that has left me with little free time at home, and what free time I do have has been spent preparing for the holidays. I am at the office today finishing up a few things here before taking 3 days off for Christmas. We have our Chrismas party tonight for work and then I will be doing some work from home on Monday before heading to Maine to spend Christmas with the wife’s family. I hope to do some updatting of the blog and such during the break.  But if I don’t post again before the big day…Merry Christmas!!
