random ramblings of a crazed nerd

So things are leveling out, things are getting better and changes are happening - one happened without much REAL planning, on the matter of “construction” my employers @ my day job are quick to move forward - thus today I did not have a office. They started work on taking out the wall between the old workout room, and my office, thus I had to re-locate. The issue was no one considered the servers - when dealing with Drywall there is a LOT of dust, so with the help of a friend from AR and my weak but workable arms, I relocated hardware to a cubicle down the way from my office.

The good news is this is all going to be DONE tomorrow, they nearly finished it today, but just not all the way, so things are going to wrap up tomorrow, and I’ll get a desk back, and after work I’ll re-locate servers back and in time get them racked up and off the floor and the silly stands.

But that leads to the big question on my heart lately, in a year, do I keep the day job? or do I go back to the joys of keeping my own hours, fighting for work, etc. - or do I stick around, or is there some other balance I can achieve? I just miss the ability to relax, heal up, this was the first time I recall being this sick for this long - granted I have healthcare now in which I can go get poked and prodded… but I think a lot of it is stress/exposure to sick folks on a more regular basis.

Feb 2009 is my big call time, unless something happens sooner than later to the job/position which doesn’t fit - but if nothing else I may see if we can wing a better hour setup come a year, something that gives me a lot more flexibility and reduction of stress from the politics and plain insanity of the office and I know in most jobs/positions that’ll never be gone 100% - but at this point my health, sanity, and budget are big factors in things, but who knows come 2009, I may have a new direction I never considered.

Anywhoo - that’s the random bits on my mind tonight, going to go and take the laptop and toy with a website or two (including FH/TN!) then some upgrades are on the books… so we’ll see what happens! Night all!
