Missile Aneous

I would like a white iPhone 4…on Verizon.  Let’s see if anything of the like happens.
Arcade Fire’s new album is the best of the year by far at this point.
I really like the latest Tokyo Police Club album.  New band, good digs.
Starcraft 2 is still a ton of fun.  Less addictive now though.
Work is getting [...]

Project Management & Titles At Work

Project managment is a very weird term.  The reason is because technically everyone is a project manager, yet many have an official title of that in a company.  You could argue that taking a trip to the bathroom is a project, after all.
Titles are important from a career standpoint, but within companies titles are usually [...]

Training and 12 Hours Per Day

It’s so on as of now.  I’m doing a heavy training week that a good deal of our operations go through and trying to push through a large project at night.  It’s going to be a very busy week!  In some ways, this sort of thing is kind of stressful because you want to learn [...]

Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

Every now and then I’ll reference how I’m a marketing dork. And by that I mean that marketing excites me and really interests me in way more ways than is normal. It’s a dorky obsession and I’m lucky that I get to work in a field that interests me. You train yourself [...]

Transitions

Life is really a series of transitions. It takes time to understand them and it’s quite easy to drift through them without even noticing too. This is certainly one for me. Work has been consuming a huge amount of my time and so you may have noticed that writing has not been [...]

The Grind

You know you are deeply entrenched in the grind when you look at the clock at home and thing “Oh crap it’s already 7pm!”
Work has been fast and furious as of late. Ten hour days are passing in the bat of an eye and work from home is pretty normal. It’s [...]

A Quick Thought

Strategic and tactical are not reasons to do something or not to do something.  Just as being reactionary isn’t necessarily a reason not to do something.
You do the best thing considering all options.  And that’s that.

Happy 4th of July!

Almost forgot, just had a great weekend back in Alexandria with the folks.  I miss the lake a great deal; everything is so peaceful up there.  I have a bit of travel upcoming for work and so may post a bit less in the upcoming month; but we’ll see.  I hope everyone had a safe [...]

Getting Organized…Again

I’ve noticed over my first few weeks at work that I’m having a lot more trouble getting everything organized than I had in previous work.  I think I’ve always considered myself relatively well organized for the simple reason that I always get things done on time and rarely ever miss an appointment or scheduled deadline.
That [...]

Summer Is Flying

In the midst of my most busy summer in some time, it struck me that I haven’t written in a bit. Amidst work, working out, reading market research and another book, it has been tough to find time. Summer tends to be like that, there is much more time to be outside and [...]
