It feels like I just posted here yesterday

Hi to all who venture in here!

It’s been a while since I posted but it doesn’t actually feel like it has been that long. Time has been flying by! I can’t believe it is almost February already. There have been a lot of changes in my life and finding time to keep up with the website has been tough.

Fairly recently, I moved to a new company. I was working for a software developer with offices downtown. In early December, a friend whom I used to work with at that company told me there was an opening where she worked for a major luxury coach manufacturer. On a whim I decided to apply for the job. I sent them my resume on a Tuesday morning. A couple of hours went by and my friend asked me if I would come in for an interview. I told her that any day would be fine, except for that day since I was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt (the software developing company was a very casual environment).

She said that her bosses were very interested in meeting with me and they didn’t care that I was in jeans and a sweatshirt, they wanted to meet with me that day. So, I show up to interview feeling like a total scrub. The dress code at the coach manufacturer is business casual. The interview ended up going well. A day or two later they offered me the job!

I’ve been working there for around 5 weeks now and love it. It is nice to still be around technology (I’m working in their IS department), but working for a company with a different focus. It seems like every computer-focused company I’ve worked for has had layoffs or folded or… whatever. For the first time in many years I feel my employment status is relatively stable.

No one likes excuses, but the new job is one reason I haven’t been around here much. At my old job, I could browse the internet, post on the blog, etc. But those days are over. The coach company’s rules are quite a bit different and I don’t have as much freedom on the net - but I’ll take a good 401k and benefits package over that any day.

When I’m not at work, I’m generally at home playing my new guitar or trying to get my business off the ground…

I’m an independent distributor of a company who offers a juice whose main ingredient is the acai berry. The juice is high in antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatories. It is doing great things for people’s health. It is a whole food, not a supplement. With just 4 ounces a day, you get the equivalence of 13 servings of fruits and vegetables. It tastes great and the business opportunity is amazing too. Come learn more at my other website!
