Oh yeah, this blog.

Well, I must say I've enjoyed not writing anything blog related for a while. There is no pressure for me from myself to think of stuff to blog about, which is nice.

I just thought I'd stop by and say that my life is all about work and family these days. Specifically finding a balance between the two. Although I won't bore you with the details there were recently a few changes at work that jerked me out of the rut I was in. Even though the changes seemed pretty negative in regards to myself and a few colleagues, I now see it as a positive thing...mostly. In short one of the people on the same level as me and my peeps was promoted rather suddenly to be the manager of the rest of us. It was also done behind closed doors, no interviews, no consultation, just a sudden promotion based on the opinion of one person. As you might imagine there was some backlash.

After a few days and some one on one discussion with the megaboss, things settled down a lot and I think we agree now that the right person was chosen for that specific job, even though he hadn't done the same time that some of us had. What it's meant for me is that I know that if I want to get anywhere with this company, I need to start to play my A-game and make myself specialized enough so that if an opportunity comes along in my field, I'll be the one thought of.

So just thought I'd share that with you. As you were.
