I want to apol­o­gize to my friends and rel­a­tives for not being around much this semes­ter. Some­how I have man­aged to heap too much on my plate again. When I grad­u­ated from col­lege, I decided to take it easy, work only one job and limit the num­ber of projects I took on. I wanted to read more, play more golf, watch more movies, go to bed early and spend more time with friends and fam­ily.



This week marks my sec­ond com­plete year out of school. I have had lim­ited suc­cess in my pur­suit to do less. Since grad­u­a­tion I have man­aged to almost always be semi busy. Over the past few days I have had plenty of down time avail­able for think­ing. (about three and half days – see post below) I real­ized that I am not play­ing golf, I have Net­Flix sit for a month before I watch them and I have been stay­ing up later.



As usual I have no one to blame but myself. Of course I have the usual things that keep me busy this time of year — helpdesk sched­ul­ing, hir­ing new stu­dent work­ers fam­ily in town, etc. Since spring break I have bro­ken my usual rule of one large project at a time. At home I have started installing wood floors. My progress has been slower than I antic­i­pated. More notably, one of my co-workers and I have started a small web devel­op­ment busi­ness. I am now an LLC. Ill post more info on the floors when they are fin­ished and the busi­ness when I have every­thing set up.



After I get caught up I think I need to fig­ure out how to keep myself from start­ing more than one project at a time. I want to start play­ing more golf, read­ing and sleep­ing more.
