The Wider View

So again, I think I am long overdue with my blogging. I don't know what it is about this, but I never seem to be able to keep up with it, as if I don't think it's important or necessary. Quite the contrary in reality, this is a very important venue for me to express myself and my writing. I do hope that if anyone ever reads this, they find my style and content to be entertaining to say the least. So with that out of the way, I have upgraded a few times since my last post. The 15 inch viewable is no longer so small, it is now 2 20" wide screen viewable!

I finally dropped the bomb with Circuit City, and all has gone very well. After 17 months of working with that company, I cut the ties and moved on. My new job is so much more exciting and challenging than my previous work. I don't know how much I can actually say about the work, but what I can tell you, is that I will be having a blast working with this company and I will learn tremendous amounts of new information, as well as practical skills. The systems at the new place are amazing, and the people are even cooler.

This is a great upgrade from my previous work, and while I will miss the City, I do understand that if I stayed there any longer, I was either going to go absolutely insane, or I was going to start performing differently under the pressure of my position. It was a good time to move on, I will still shop and show my support for the company and the people, but I will never again work in retail, and you can bet on that!

So weekends, and school, Halo 3 and work. This is my life as of the moment and if I were to take a snapshot right now, I would not have thought I would be in the position I am now, 6 months ago. I am so proud of where I am and where I am going, I may be slowing down, but I am getting what I want, and what I need and the experience of getting there is making up for everything in between. I am also writing this on my new Linux laptop, running the latest beta of Gutsy Gibbon, which I must say, is very impressive.

It is amazing how far Linux has moved in the years it has been in the public eye. I think given 1 or 2 more years of devoted development, we will be seeing these systems in retail outlets, ready for complete public dissemination. Oh the future is bright, and I hope my incoherent ramblings have at least entertained the masses and the few (if any of you) that read this. Peace out girl scout!
