Via The Wall Street Journal’s blog The Juggle, here’s an interesting article about a couple who share a position at a British Embassy.
They proposed this arrangement, working in 4 month shifts, in response to the demands of careers and parenthood that many of us face. According to the article, the 4 month stints ensure […]
I am at work right now, but there is no work for me to do. No clients are paying me to do anything right now.
I know of one or two one day projects between now and the end of the year, but the rest of the time I will probably be on the bench. […]
I am having quite a bit of trouble keeping organized at work these days. I am bouncing between a couple different clients and a handful of different projects for each client.

I rushed out of the house today. I need to stop dorking with the computer before work. My car greeted me with iced up windows. Bad car.
A little background. My wife just recently was able to fit the car back in her side of the garage. My side is taken up with a grill, 4 […]
