I’ll be entirely honest, since last friday, it’s been a hell of a lot of week, for a number of reasons which I won’t burden you all with, but I’ve been kind of on edge and in a low-grade threat posture all week; it’s been tough to relax and let go. Taking Friday off to […]

Y’know, this week’s been primarily about figuring out how to be a productive member of society again after being off the grid in holiday limbo for two weeks. I’ve mostly fallen back into things, pushing documents around and being bureaucratic and stuff. I also spent a bit of time keeping my eye on the HR […]

As this entry posts, I will be beginning my final day at work for the year 2019. And honestly, there hasn’t actually beeen a whole lot of “work” happening this week, or honestly, the last part of last week. I have largely put my programs in stasis at this point, knocked together all the documentation […]

Been a quiet one this week; work is dragging, as people are already starting to take their holiday time off. I’ve been spending my time putting ongoing projects into stasis and getting the last of the year-end stuff done before I pop out after next week. I’ve also been feeling pretty darned terrible; something has […]

The best I can say about this week is that it’s gone by quickly. I haven’t accomplished much of anything, to be honest. Oh well, the last couple of weeks have been pretty busy; I should just enjoy the quiet. Some good news related to projects I’ve been involved with the last couple of months, […]

Currently in the process of tidying things up for my short holiday work week, which has been, if I’m being honest, kind of a waste of time.  I’ve spent most of it tying up loose ends like required “Ethics Training” and sending messages to folks who are already off brining turkeys and celebrating European conquest […]

It’s Friday. If you’re reading this entry contemporaneous to it’s posting, I’m either on my way to, or already at Atomacon in North Charleston, SC, where I’ve been scheduled as the Special Filk Guest for this year’s festivities. I’m looking forward to it, though a little intimidated; although I’ve been playing regularly as myself for […]

World's Okayest… by Chuck Parker By the time you read this, my first solo record, World’s Okayest…, will have gone live on bandcamp for digital sales. It’s a weird feeling; exciting and intimidating. Although I’ve played all of these songs live dozens of times (and it took me years to get the confidence up to […]

Has honestly been a pretty good week, when it comes right down to it. Apart from the fact that as he attended to higher-end management stuff in the C suite, I ended up sitting in for the boss on all kinds of other high-level meetings all week. I have had my fill of briefing big […]

As of Thursday night, I have ordered my initial stock of World’s Okayest… that I hope I can sell to my adoring fans (I do have some), or at least to the mildly curious and/or those who feel sorry for me. I went somewhat conservative in terms of numbers; if I can sell what I’ve […]
