Life, Family, Work


I still seem to be battling bouts of anxiety and I am still sorting out the sources but I suspect they are mostly related to the stresses around taking care of my one remaining grandmother and my other grandmother having just passed away.

I think it is my own mortality I am struggling with.

Further on today I am headed over to my Uncle's house for a casuel wake for my grandmother and grandfather on my fathers side. I am looking forward to it and I hope some family I have not seen in awhile will show up.

I am really really enjoying riding my bike to work. I need to do it more often before the weather turns on me. If I wanted to ride through the winter I think I would need a different bike than the one I have now. One with fenders, panniers, a light, rain gear, etc.. etc... that all costs $$ which I do not have right now.

I was casually approached yesterday about the idea of a job at Microsoft. It seems like it is the perfect job for me, just enough balance of people vs. technology, without having to do support or implementations. Plus it would probably be a monster pay raise, work from home part time and on the road maybe 25% of the time. If it comes to fruition it likely would not be until next Summer. Between now and then I need to get deep into my projects at CorVel and keep learning.

I like it at CorVel but the benefits just suck, my benefits cost me $220 per month, I have no 401K match and no bonuses. I just cannot sustain that for a long term commitment. A couple years that is probably it.

Gotta get ready to go. Hopefully be back in time to take a good ride today.
