So, after that “Am I going to even keep doing the thing?” post back in May, there’ve been a bunch of things worth talking about (apart from that Dragoncon post pinned up there ↑, that is)… As I alluded to in that post, I’m working on a new record, currently untitled, that I hope to […]

This space has been pretty quiet for the last little while; not much but playlists most weeks and complaining about work stuff. That’s honestly been the standard agenda with life lately, and I’m tired of repeating myself. Also, it’s just been busy; long hours, getting yanked into unpleasant temporary supervisory stuff, and I’d rather sit […]

My first (of six) weeks playing the boss for the team at work is wrapping up. It’s actually been a bit less stressful than I expected. I’ve not been *not* stressed (especially in the early part of the week), but it’s not been a complete disaster. I also managed to move some of my own […]

Spent way too much time on the phone this week; meetings and calls and consultations, and all kinds of things to get me up to speed to be the boss for the next couple of weeks. Not a whole lot of life outside of that, really. Not much to report. Didn’t get all that much […]

I’ve been ridiculously productive this week; I finished fawm with a day to spare, even if I didn’t end up actually recording anything during February. I wrote fourteen songs, and a handful of them have potential, which is the idea. I’m aiming to have a new record ready to sell at Congregate this year, so […]

Another week where I’m filling in for the boss, and spending too much time on conference calls. This is starting to become a habit, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I suppose it’s inevitable, as so many folks look to me as the substitute boss most of the time anyway, but it’s […]

So many slides. Over and over. Hours and hours. That’s the story of my week. Couple of big briefings for folks in the rarified air of senior management, plus a handful of training sessions on how to use simple SharePoint libraries delivered to uncooperative audiences, along with all the preparation and editing and run-throughs and […]

The past weekend and several days on either side of it have been kind of a roller coaster… First of all, the big birthday party for my lovely spouse went off amazingly well, both in terms of remembering how to host events, as well as “beta testing” the new house space as a music venue. […]

Let’s just say that I would really rather not have this week repeating over and over; it kinda sucked. Lots of stupid work drama, an unpleasant flirtation with the illness that the rest of my family was dealing with last week, a bunch of disappearing mp3s, and a bit of self-inflicted stress as we prepare […]

The previous week was, for the most part uneventful apart from some periodic occurrences hitting their intervals. Got a bunch of work stuff done, including actually using my B.S. in Education(!); prepping a lesson plan and teaching a class on certain bureaucratic processes I’ve managed to become the expert on. I also had my annual […]
