Life is full of changes

Tomorrow is the last day that Angela and I will work in the same place. It’s going to be sort of weird to not work together anymore. This is where we met, so even though we’re married and have had a bond outside of the workplace for over 2 years, this will be the first time we’ve not had work in common. I think there’s something a little scary about that, but I’m not sure what it is. I know I’m going to miss having her here in the office everyday, that’s for sure. I’m also sure there will be a period of adjustment at home as well. Now, since we see each other all day, we’ve both gotten very used to just doing our own individual things in the evenings, but that’s probably going to change to some extent. There’s always something a little scary when you start talking about making changes and adjusting what has been a pretty happy and comfortable marriage thus far, but I know for a fact that she is going to be happier at this new job, which makes any adjustment worth it to me.

If she’s happier, then the rest will just fall into place eventually. We love each other enough to make sure of that, no matter how much adjustment might be needed. I’m excited by the new opportunities she’s going to get at her new job, and I know she’s going to rock at it!

    I’m finding one of the unexpected challenges of my new job is the loss of social interaction. When I worked at the helpdesk, interacting with people and keeping in touch with the folks I considered my friends, was easy. Just as part of the job I’d have to talk to them on a regular basis,…

    OK, ok, I admit it, I’ve been a slacker when it comes to this site. I’ve been extremely busy at work, and extremely busy with holiday stuff that I simply haven’t really had time to think any deep thoughts that would be appropriate for this blog. I’ve been completely preoccupied with technolgy-related thoughts. Of course,…

  • The Difference Between Knowledge and Life Experience

    You should not feel sorry for me. This post isn’t about me. As I said, I have a condition that millions of people deal with every day. I’ll do the same. It’s about the reality that people around us are living with things that require efforts that we don’t understand. Just showing up for life every day requires effort and dedication from everyone you know. The amount of effort and challenges are different, and they are not distributed equally. You shouldn’t dismiss anyone’s struggles, especially if you’ve not been in those same circumstances yourself. 

    Some things have to be experienced to see all the details. When someone is willing to share the details of their challenges, listen and learn. Raise their voices instead of assuming you know the answers. 

    Experience is a hard teacher. We all can learn the lessons from those who’ve lived it.

    Are You Telling Your “Story”?

    As an avid user of social media, and the internet in general, I’ve been fascinated watching the popularity of apps like Snapchat, without fully understand the appeal. Recently, however, I’ve blogged about my discovery of how useful something like Snapchat or Instagram’s “story” feature could be: I was a late-comer to understanding what Snapchat could…
