A Little Spot of Insight and Thought

My Upstart Life

It has been a whirlwind month for me. More than a month, really. Back on December 29th, I proposed to my love and she accepted, so I am now engaged to be married. Those who follow me on Twitter already knew that, but there you are.

On the career front, I began a new job this past week. It is a bit of a culture shock because I went from a small, private university to a large, non-profit corporation. Aside from feeling like the smallest fish in the bowl, it has been an exciting week.

To coincide with my new job, my body succumbed to bronchitis which I refused to allow to keep me from work. This weekend I paid for it, but the doctor was in on Saturday and thankfully prescribed some medicine which seems to be working well.

A lot of other events have occurred as well, most of which I am not ready to discuss at this time. On another bright note, I continue to age at the usual pace and my birthday is arriving next weekend. Yay!

Be well.

    Congratulations on all the good things happening in your life right now. I’ve been working at another location and it’s been hectic, but I should be back to my regular place after this week so things should be better and I should be able to do more online. Take care and once again, congratulations on everything. I’m happy for you man.

      Thank you, Matthew. The environment is a bit of a culture shock, but that’s only because of the size difference in the organization. I’m adapting fairly well.

      Thank you, WD. Yes, the engagement is still such an amazing feeling to me. I know that the wedding will be even more awesome. Meeting the right person after all of these years and having such a wonderful life with her is terribly fulfilling. There are no words to describe it. At least not in my meager vocabulary.

      Thanks, Hayden! Aside from this wicked flu/cold/somethingreallyawful which refuses to go lightly, life is on an upswing. We have a lovely vacation planned in April as well, so that adds to the fun.
