Monday, Monday....

Two things. I really love that Mommas and the Poppas song. I wonder if there are more spikes in blog posts on Mondays or weekends? For a while I have been threatening to actually post on weekends since I hardly had the time or motivation to do so on weekdays due to a demanding job schedule. That obviously never happened but my job reality changed allowing me to choose when to dedicate time to post. Not that this will be a regular occurrence since trumpeting any post as such guarantees I won't post again for a few months.

I recently changed positions at my company which was not necessarily by choice. My old position was being morphed into one that meant I would take on less technical and client management issues and focus more on sales. Yuck! The only reason I took my original position with the company despite it being less technical than my previous job (a straight up email server administrator) was because of how sick I was working for my former employer as a contractor and the bump in pay. Cut to 2 years of me working a few 10/12 + hour days a week and a lot of weekends without more pay and I can see I will soon be as sick of this job as the former. Added to that issues of personal development that I just recently realized directly impact my work life all add up to me desperately looking for any change in my work reality.

All of this has led me to chase any non related work distraction that comes my way all while doing the trickle of work that still comes way, of which this post is one of them.
Of course somewhere in the back of my mind I am fretting about being found out for not doing much of late but some of that is also my lack of perspective. After all I am the same sucker who did not have a problem with working 10+ hours days. But I am working on that too.......
