It was beautiful today when I ran errands at lunch. Blue skys peaking out from puffy white clouds…
On Monday I started a new contract. I’m writing automation software to handle online reporting requirements for a company that works with medical stuff. Interesting work. My wrist is killing me from all of the cut-n-paste as I construct my most basic objects. This contract is scheduled for 4 weeks with possible extensions.
Whatever.
Back to my code…
Occasionally my German comes back… Usually at strange times and without context.
I didn’t sleep well. Too sore. I swam yesterday. I should get back to lifting weights. But neither of those are the root cause of my muscle aches. Friday night I slept wrong and woke up with a kinked neck which never really went away. Satuday was Crue Fest. 
After a couple hours of headbanging to my whole body was tweaked.
Maybe I’m getting too old to scream the chorus to various Crue tracks? Maybe. Buckcherry sucked. I skipped most of Papa Roach. The guy reminds me of a lame Green Day clone, which is course is yet another clone of the music I listened to in High School. Sixx AM was realy good, as was Trapt. I had a really good time. So, swimming was an effort to unwind the tension. It worked but only for a while.
Today is the first day without a contract. I slept in. I messed with the ceiling fan I have been trying to install. I need more parts. The ceiling angle is too steep. I talked to an auto parts store about picking up new seals for the slave cylinder on her Duc. It leaks. It has always leaked. $190 and it leaks because they shipped aluminum washers instead of copper washers. I am under-welmed to say the least.
I’ve got two more interivews scheduled for tomorrow and at least 3 more possibilities. This doesn’t include things that are already in-process. Something will turn up. It always does. I am still craving some moto-time, but I need to get my next gig lined up. That’s my priority at the moment.
Guten Tag
I was swapping funny links with Eddie at the office.

I had an interview this morning. It went OK. The gig sounds interesting. I could take it or leave it at this point. You might be asking why I have been interviewing, when I actually like my current position. It isn’t the position. It’s my consulting firm. Long story short… I have gotten some legal advice. It would appear that my current employer is breaking Federal and State laws through illegal payroll deductions. I can let it slide or file complaints and possibly a lawsuit. Not fun, but what else should I do? I’ve already tried to address the issue with my firm. They told me I didn’t know what I was talking about.
Maybe this new gig will go or maybe my current client will offer me a permanent position. Either way, I need a new employer.
As most of my friends know, I am not 100% thrilled with my vocation. I like the work itself, but I hate the whole ‘consulting’ thing. In some ways, Read more…
