2006 Retrospective and Amazon Vigil

While I wait for the Axion Portable DVD players to go on sale at Amazon, I might as well write my first post. Considering this is the last month of the year I figure a retrospective of 2006 will do nicely.

12 months ago I spent Christmas unemployed. At times I wondered whether I would find a job I'd like let alone want; other times... I won't go into. Interviews came and went as did freelance projects but for the most part I spent the first three months of 2006 mooching off of Tigger. Not a proud time.

Finally in March, I accepted a position for a company in Atlanta and enjoyed it for awhile even though I didn't have a life thanks to Atlanta traffic. By the end of July though I became disgruntled and resigned much to anxiety of Tigger who had nightmares of me being jobless again. As Lady Luck would have it though the day after handing in my resignation I interviewed with and was hired by another company. Fate? I believe so.

Now we come to December. I enjoy what I do. I enjoy who I work for. I'm able to relax more on the weekends without guilt from feeling like I need to work. And above all I'm no longer mooching. I actually make more than Tigger. *big grin*

I do have one regret though.... I missed the sale because I was writing this. ;-)

Be well.
