Lacking Leadership In My Life

I lack leadership in my life. At church, I am the leadership. Well, there are 5 of us, but we don’t have any support or leadership above us. None of us really knows what we are doing, and in spite of that I think we’re doing pretty darn good, but some help would be nice. [...]

LTW II – SAHD again

Learned This Week: I’m learning there is a direct correlation between lack of sleep and my level of frustration. It’s been 6 weeks since the birth of my daughter and I haven’t really had a full night’s sleep since her birth. Now I’m not naive enough to think I would be getting much, but it [...]

Hanging up my SAHD Hat

On Monday I hang up my SAHD hat. I’m all done. My 37 week stint as a stay-at-home-dad is complete, and that makes me sad. It’s been a blast these past 9 months, spending all day, every day with my son. But alas, it is no more. For the past couple of months I have [...]

Thankful to be Canadian

I work at a Christian University, and this past week a Muslim Summer Camp was being held at my work. So because I work in a Christian environment, it was interesting to see all these little children running around, some of the boys with their little hats, and some girls in their hijab. Now I [...]

Things I had been struggling with and stressing about. (I know it’s a longish post, but I didn’t want to split it [...]

No promotion for me

So I didn’t get the job I applied for with the division. Didn’t even get an interview. My boss had been talking up this position for months now, saying how she was leaning heavily towards hiring from within (something I’m a huge proponent of). But I received a call this morning letting me know that [...]

My Schools

So, I’m an IT guy for a local school division. There are 8 of us for 25 schools, and we are each assigned 2-6 schools. I’m one of those with 2 schools, though one of them is the biggest school in the division by over double the size of the next closest school. My other [...]

Work Frustrations

My job isn’t so much stressful as it is frustrating. All summer it has been 3 steps forward and 2 steps back; slowly gaining ground while simultaneously wasting a whole shit-load of time. I’m not sure if it is like this every summer/fall, but it’s pretty bad this year. Typically we sit at about 100-120 [...]
