Journal Journal: Empty Journal
I thought to myself,"This time I shall make my mark." If only I had something to say.
Journal entry #1 Work is going well. Eminent Ship Date will be reached and software will be ready. Testing is looking great. New Hardware works Great. Now If only the roofers would finish the damn building and place the AC units back up and reconnected I could finish testing on the spa. Place is unbearable after Noon in the Florida Heat.
Professional Background.. Presently Employed on Embedded Linux project. Thats right, you can get paid for Open Source work. Granted Pay isn't spectacular but it is pay. GUI for Spa Control. Spa has integrated TV/Stereo/Lighting. Hardware Design Completed for the third time, Still didn't get everything I wanted but you never can. SDIO, Host USB, ahhh SomeDay.
Previously I have done it all. Tech Support, Shop Repair, New PC sales/build, Web Design, Programming COBOL, BASIC, C, C++, Painting, Sales, F&I at AutoSales, Assembly, Solder Tech, Electronic Production Repair Tech, MIS, IT Gopher, 3d Modelling, Graphic Art. Once so long ago it seems like a fading acid trip, in the middle of the night, I used to climb building to clean & Degrease the exhaust Fans & Ducts & Hoods for resturants. OMG, I cannot believe I did that, for like 4 yrs. Finally my wife gave me the best advice I've ever received: Quit this Bullshit Job & Do what you love to Do. Haven't looked back (till now) since. Long climb to MIS from screw-turner but very satisfying. Like starting in the mail room & ending up CEO.
