Learning from the Past

A long time ago, back in the days of starting a business, I made a few choices, I took some steps away from what was my at some level “expected” path and picked a different path, doing crazy things like forming FlockHosting which isn’t what I would call “super profitable” but gave me the joy and privilege of helping out Christians and Ministries get online afford-ably - another choice I made was in location.

When my brother and I got the office, one big thing we focused on was windows. We wanted light, we wanted a little bit of a view, we wanted to not be locked in a cave - like when I made changes in my business, I moved my office from the office where I am now to my home - and I never looked back - I think I may be at that crossroads again.

I spend a good portion of my day/job in front of a computer - working on personal projects, or working on favors for friends, or dare I say it, client tickets (as few and farbetween as those are) - but with so much time in front of a computer, in a room with artificial lighting just doesn’t cut it - a window, a bit of nature, fresh air, is always a must, and I think that’s where I am going with the office currently. I like the gang where I am, I mean let’s get the run down, my childhood pal, my long time friend who helped start my business, a site designer/programmer who is eager to learn/fun to chat with, ryan, and the rest of the wacky team of course who is sadly going away as part of that building shuts down - but its a wonderful group, but it’s not my office anymore, it’s not like I had setup on 19th - and that’s okay.

I’ve come to realize I have a blessed life, as much as I like to complain here and there, and let myself get down,  unless one heckuva job offer, or one special lady enters my life, I think my crazy situation of odd nights of sleep (or no sleep), hanging out with some friends, family, and taking a day to just wander with my camera - thats more important to my sanity right now than a place to set my laptop, and while I am sure I’ll always have a place & a key to the office - I’ll probably only swing by to visit, or come in to work on the occasional project vs. make it my work home so to speak.

So the week of me continues, still awake, craving a swimming pool, and pondering the todo list for the day (which may include a nap) Have a good day all.
