Work-cation the Start of Week 2

Silence is either the sign of hard work or no work.  It’s hard to tell sometimes but in my case silence has definitely been the former.  Last week was full of work on a semi-uber secret project and a trip with Mrs. M to see some friends get married, while this week takes me into the deep and dusty halls of our often neglected charity, The Fireball Foundation.  If only a decent org name could be the sign of success.

It’s odd that the longer I let the charity sit, the harder it is to go back and get things started.  But, after only three short hours and I’m already back to to thinking about it.  And working on it.

First a redesign of our blog, then development of our new content portal called Fireball Village.  80% work on Fireball and 20% work on other nagging projects should make week two as productive, if not more, than last week.

Shocking.  Absolutely shocking.  Rich is a man of his word.  Just ask him.

 

Data Suggests Things are Getting Better

My MBA made me a data wonk.  Now-a-days if someone (even family) says something or makes a key point I’ll often ask for the proof – where’s the back-up?  Using only the data and trying to separate person beliefs (often skewed) things look like they’re getting better.  Causation or just correlation with the Obama economic activities?  Dunno.  The only thing I do know is that history suggests that inaction would have ended poorly.

Let’s hope the second half of this magic solution occurs as well.  Namely, once the worst is over the nice people in Congress turn off the money faucet and start making hard decisions on how to clean up the new mess which is our debt and deficit.

Less that 24 hrs b/f Time Off

I’m unsure if I’ve ever been as excited to have a few weeks off as I am for my upcoming two week hiatus from my Flat World company.  It’s been a damn hard month so Mrs. M and I decided a couple weeks were in order.  The time now will impact the rest of the year but this camper was getting pretty frazzled.

It’s a working vacation rather than relaxing vacation.  I have a couple projects that are way, way behind and I just need to be able to focus on them without the nagging of the regular job to get in my way.  Same wake up time, same gym time, same work at the PC during the weekdays but instead of doing someone else’s work, I’m doing my own.  Kicking the tires on what that will feel like next year with all the security of my current situation.  бесплатные порно каналы секс с маленькими девочками

Call it a sanity break.  Call it a working holiday.  I call it two glorious weeks to put some distance between me and what’s happening right now.
