hello from Tulsa

Well, teach me to want to get involved in a software conversion. Here I sit, in my fancy hotel (HA!) in the metropolis of tulsa, Ok. Not a hell of a lot is getting done on the conversion and I'm a little frustrated to be honest. I'm really disappointed I didn't take the other job last summer when I had the chance. I keep promising myself I won't whine too much about it, but it's really frustrating. In 20/20 hindsight, I should have bolted in a fucking second and let the housing chips fall where they may. Instead, I'm in Tulsa.....

I guess it could be a hell of a lot worse, and I apologize to anyone who may run across these rantings of a feeble mind and not feel sympathetic. I realize that I'm still gainfully employed, and I intend to do my job to my utmost. Of course, I'm also going to use this opportunity to upgrade my skills to the extent possible, get licensed as a CPA and do whatever else I can to increase my value for my next employer.

Onto more fun things.

Looking forward to a day off this Friday and Monday. going up to watch the GCs perform in some pageant type thing their grandmother has them in. I'm not a fan of pageants, but this is a one time thing and they are so excited they're about to churn themselves into butter.

I'm hoping to take the opportunity Wed night to work on the Jeep for a couple of hours. Not sure how much will get done, but I'm looking forward to using the new tool toy I bought. That's right, I bought a heat gun. No more using the BBQ lighter to prep the shrink wrap one my wiring.

Thats all for now, I'll try to get another post in later this week.

Later
