Gogo economy!

Well I haven't been updating this an awful lot lately. :/

So a quick update:

Elli is big, round, and about to pop. She's acquired a crib, car seat, stroller, high-chair/table, baby clothes, etc....

My bank account is empty.

Work is going well, I've got some projects on track, some are lagging behind, but that's alright. I have another new guy coming in on the...

Well work seems to be going well. Hopefully it will stay this way.

Projects are rolling along, albeit more slowly than I'd like, but they'll get done right. Support has been offloaded to my senior supervisor, and I'm watching over engineering for a while.

I feel horrible. I extended an offer for an interview to a man, and on his way down to the interview, he was involved in an accident. His wife is in critical condition, he is stable but still in ICU, and his son is dead.

Ugh, sick.

Sigh, PA couldn't produce on time. We're delayed 30+ days due to reasons beyond my control.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Fear my $140 bar tab!

Merry Day-After-Christmas all!

Well I spent Christmas working, but such is life. At least I got to do it from home!

My life is so focused on work that I can't tell work from my home life anymore. I hear from my employees more than my friends and family, and everything is a blur of work->game->work->sleep->work->game->work->sleep.

Hopefully I'll have this sorted out and have more...
