I had an amazing time at the 2Checkout Holiday party. A little too much of an amazing time. I’ve been feeling pangs of guilt all this past week after deciding to leave after my contract ended instead of take the great position they offered me. I haven’t entirely figured out my rationale yet. There were times there that I was unhappy with the work, but they were an amazing group of people to work with. And I guess I had hoped to be doing more front-end work, and they’re definitely in a transitional stage, ramping up their Java core environment (a task I am both ill-suited and not entirely interested in helping out on) Anyway, I didn’t burn any bridges, and I would seriously consider returning somewhere down the line.

I mentioned this earlier, but my friend Carl, now of Portland, Oregon inspired me with the term “fun-employment.” Portland, I’m paraphrasing a quote from some article, is the place where “the idea of success is working at a coffee shop so you can play in your Ukrainian folk band.” Anyway, they know how to live life.

So I’m going to make the most out of time my time off, even if I don’t have a lot of money to do it with…

I’m about to get on a plane to New York. I’ll be on Long Island today, then probably come into Brooklyn tomorrow and leaving Wednesday evening.

So for my friends out there reading this, give me a call on my cell. (If you don’t have it, it’s on my facebook page) Or for any non-friends, I’m open to hanging out too…

They’re pre-boarding now…. bye.
