1/4/2006 Still On VacationAh, still have a few days of vacation left - through the end of this week actually. With the prospect of a "Monday" on the work horizon, I'm trying to tie up my Christmas vacation with some productive personal projects. I've updated the AC website slightly with a few minor changes, one of which was the addition of my Dell Business Partner links (finally). There are still some PDFs that need to be created, and a few service details to fill out, but its coming together.
On my blogger site, I've been really busy - strange for me because keeping on top of a blog and regular posting has never been natrual for me. Even though I fall into the "Gen X" age group, the technology itself has always interested me rather than the use of technology. Anyway, my blogging has turned more into a headline site rather than deep insights and I'm thinking of modifying the name of the blog from "Rick's Ramblings" to something that fits the content better.
Well, work will be a new adventure when I get back this coming Monday. There is quite a bit of work to get done on our Windows image upgrade project, and we will have our entire group toghether in town for a quarterly meeting. Some new tasks for me are to work more towards mentoring and coaching - a bit more dificult as it is not a task that I have had to focus on previously. At any rate, it will be a growth opportunity for me, and any challenge can be exciting.
More in a few days. 12/29/2005 Long HolidayWell, I've not posted for several days, mainly because of the Christmas holiday. Since I've taken several days off work, I'll still be light on posts around here while relaxing. Of course, I'm still pondering many different paths to pursue for growth and I will be posting on those soon. The company I work for is conducting their annual employee reviews, and it does provide some good food for thought - I'll see if I can work that in here somewhere as well. 9/10/2005 New directions...Worked on the Avatar side of things a bit tonight. Have finialized a name and will get the real website up and running this weekend, I hope. It is enjoyable to be thinking in new directions, something I don't really have the luxury of doing at work these days. The idea of pushing my boundaries and trying new things is becoming less intimidating and more invigorating.
Working in a corporate environment has become rather disappointing, even though my employer is "good", I still think that a change is in order. The more I think about it the more determined I become - I've been fearing change and I think that has been holding me back from moving forward with my own personal agenda. I've been working so hard at the office, that the goals of my employer have interfered with my personal ones. That needs to be changed.
So, I'm working on some personal goals that will start to directly influence my daily life. Goals that are ment to move me and my family into the future; to become more self reliant.
I'll post more details another time - and a link to the new site, which is really exciting to work on. 6/22/2005 Directions...What is it that keeps otherwise intellegent people from reading directions and instructions? While at work the last several weeks, I have noticed a trend of co-workers not reading materials that are essential to their work. Instead, each of them tend to email the same question to other individuals on how to do a certain task. Ugh! While I'm aware that this is "normal", I have to ask: Why can't any of you learn to do your own work!? End Rant (for now). 3/23/2005 Looking for propertyWell, we're going to start really looking for the right piece of property. What we would like to find is something with a view, trees and seclusion from the day-to-day world. Will we find it? I hope so. |
