Happy New year

I've come to a couple of realizations over the last few months that I thought I should share. First, I'm worried about the new boss (same as the old boss!?) and second that it seems that I may be getting my wife back as the woman I actually married and not as this sort of strange person who is pissed a lot and not interrested in sex or fun. The last part is sort of a low blow, but this is my house and my rules here online so I can post whatever I want.

On the topic of the first one, I've been watching over the last few months and it seems that he may be very hard to get along with, as well as pretty ruthless when it comes to the idea of making money. Now I'm all for making money, but I need these guys to give me some guidance. At first, we were going to keep most of our people and sort of be operated separately within the overall group. Now it appears that we are going to be unloading most of our accounting people and letting the existing people in Oklahoma handle our accounting. Now this pisses me off, mostly because it's the diametric opposite of what we were told 4 months ago. Because of this, I have decided to begin looking for a new job more seriously. I've rejoined a couple of the paid boards and have really stepped up my attempts at networking. I guess we are going to have to decide what locations are acceptable, but it seems that most of the gulf of mexico area plus east coast from Jacksonville up to southern virginia as possibilities.

On the second, it seems that my honey is pulling out of the funk that seems to have enveloped her over the last couple of years. Between the move here to SW FL and the 2nd GC, she has been in a tailspin. Recently, it seems that she has been moving closer to coming out and I don't know if she really was (somewhat) depressed, or just not reacting well to all that was going on.


Continuing with looking back at some of this years events, I'm still very conflicted about my almost move back to LFT. With what I posted above in mind, I'm really thinking we should have moved.

What I've come up with is that I have to keep a positive attitude about work and family, bust my ass for the new boss while I finish evaluating him, and keep an eye open for a new position that's in an acceptable locale. Running in a 5K for the first time in several years here in about 2 weeks, so I'm hoping to extend that into getting back into running a little more. On a professional front, along with the busting ass, I'm really going to work at extending my knowledge base to include more information on IFRS, much more info on accounting systems, and taxes, specifically construction specific tax areas.

Happy New Year, and Later!
