Thanksgiving – 2011

Yes it’s cheesy, but I’m a very thankful man this year.  It’s probably been the toughest year of my career but everything seems to be coming to a tipping point (in a good way). Some of my personal milestones include:

  • This year was the 2 year anniversary of my marriage.  I love you babe!  Couldn’t have lived through all this without you.
  • Made Gold on Delta for the first time (my arms are very tired).
  • I sold projects! and got a pseudo-promotion.
  • Learned the difference between working hard on regular projects and working hard while doing the soft “squishy” stuff.
  • Learned quite a bit about the world.  Sometimes it’s a good and decent place but usually it’s just a place full of neutral but misinterpreted interactions.
  • Reduced my time spent on Facebook – only to replace it by time spent on G+.
  • Reconnected with some old friends and built a whole hell of a lot of new connections.  Need to figure out which LinkedIn protocol I want to use….
  • Got addicted, unaddicted and re-addicted to Minecraft.  (Soon to be unaddicted again……is this an addiction or a habit?)
  • Almost at 5 years at my current job (January 2nd).  Who said Gen Y job hops?
  • Hit an average of 55 hours per week.  Who said Gen Y is lazy?

It’s amazing how this world turns.  I can’t imagine what the next year holds.  But I’m thankful for this one even though my sanity sometimes questions why.
