I’ve been keeping track of our experiences with recruitment. I’ts fantastic. Nine percent unemployment? Nah, that’s a myth. People are doing just fine. If they weren’t, they’d show up to interviews or something. We also have to move. More on that in a moment…

Are you happy?

The Anchoress, the first stop in my daily blogroll, has a good question up today: “Are you happy?” It’s a little weird that she posted that today because I was wondering that myself on the drive home last night. It’s a question I’ve asked myself numerous times in the last year or so. I didn’t [...]

Normally I reserve Sundays for God, family and rest. I got the first two in today, but the rest? Well, look at the time-stamp for this. It’s after midnight and I’m forcing myself to go to bed in a few minutes. I spent a good chunk of the day flow-charting on this gigantic white board [...]

This time around we actually had a baby welcoming the news with some screaming. “I’m…so…happy…” I said through gritting teeth as Joseph shrieked. But I was, and I am.

So, I’m helping a customer out the other day. She had a boxer dog, and I asked what his name was. “Xerxes,” she said. “Oh, you liked that movie ‘The 300?’” I asked. “That movie was awesome!” she said. “Funny, I wouldn’t expect women to like that movie so much. My wife really likes it [...]

It’s a good thing I’ve potentially found a way to move MTB forward. This morning my wife said a couple of things that have frozen men everywhere in every generation: “I’ve been thinking…” which culminated with “Maybe Joseph needs a little brother or sister.” I am totally down with that. Not the thinking so much [...]

Today my 15 month old son showed shocking proficiency with tools. About two weeks ago I fixed a cabinet door with my leatherman. I showed little Joe what I was doing mostly to get him from getting into other things. He was fascinated, but I didn’t think much of it. Today he wanted to play [...]
