7:00 AM In Boston

-

Back in May and June, the sun was up at 5:15 as I left my house to drive to work. This is a more challenging time of year - driving east as the sun is coming over the horizon and driving west as the sun is going down.

The sun came up at 6:30 today in Boston, and was starting to spread across Government Center as I was walking from the parking garage to my building. This is a picture of Faneuil Hall, which was built in 1742.

Yes, this is a rather boring post. But I'm tired. Hey, at least I posted a pic.

Hey Ms. Creek - I work in Boston as an IT consultant. The commute is a bit of a drag but I love the job. Thanks for the nice comment!

Thanks Sassy! Yes, the commute is a bit of a drag but I work with some great people. Wondering how long I can keep up the drive.

Hey OC - Thank you! I'll have to try some more early morning Boston shots next week.

Hello Rubye Jean - Yes, that is a wondeful old building. Lots of history there. The sun is a bit of a drag - you need good sunglasses for this commute!

Hey Tina! I almost fell asleep on the post and the pic! Too long a day.

Hey Chewy! Thank you very much. I think I got lucky on this one. I appreciate the nice feedback.

And a very nice pic it is too (oh, that reminds me, love the new avitar pic). Sheesh, you deserve a medal for rising out of bed at such a god-forsaken hour, little wonder you're tired..!

Thanks Shrinky! That's sweet of you. Yes, I'm finding that getting up at 4:00 AM is starting to kick me in the butt big time.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

You Are Hereby Put On Official Notice

-
...that I am outta City Hall in three weeks. I am giving my notice at work on Monday, something I hate to do. I have been very worried about the economic climate and my continued status as a dependent contractor at my current organization. My position is funded until June, but with a freeze both on hiring and overtime and worsening conditions, I feel I need to get out while I can. Being a contractor affords me no unemployment insurance and if things continue as they are, I think jobs will be harder to come by as June nears. I have accepted a position at a University in the Boston area. The commute will still pretty much stink, but it is a 35 hour week and there is the opportunity to work remotely (i.e. from my dining room) one day a week. I am really looking forward to joining this organization and very excited to be working in higher ed. Giving my notice is going to be very tough. I have been with my current organization, as both a full time employee and a contractor, for over 8 years...
