The weekend

This weekend we drove up to Salt Lake for a reunion with some of Amy's high school friends. She had a good time and I was happy for her. For me, on the other hand, the experience can best be described by this cartoon.

We also did a yard sale with my mum and looked at cars. The end.

Hiring Your Own Boss

Slowly trudging out of the swamp. I've brought on an assistant, a beast of a nice guy named Layne, and things are progressing nicely. We're almost on top of things. You ever notice how the people who are always going off about how busy they are usually waste large amounts of time telling people how busy they are--and not working? Well, I've realized that I'm one of them.

Anyways, one of the biggest jobs I'm working on is an HR Director. My job being part of the future HR department, I am in the unique and fascinating position of being able to choose my own boss. It's pretty fun.

Swamped.

Ouch. This has been a tough week. I'm working on about 12 jobs right now, not to mention turnover reports, exit interviews, and trying to set up a buddy at work on a blind date.

My job can get stressful at times. Usually when people call me up to fill a position they need someone right away, so if I don't find someone soon they tend to get a little...impatient. It's like they think they're ordering a pizza or something: "Ok, we'd like a commercial lines csr with 10 years experience and extra people skills. Put a college degree on that. No olives. You'll deliver in 30 minutes, right?"

I'm bringing on an assistant soon, so that'll help out. For now though I'm stressing.

Repentance

I've been a horrible blogger. Entire months have passed without a post. I've had pictures ready for weeks and haven't put them up because I'm too busy reading espn.com or playing games. I've been a bad person and a paltry excuse for a blogger.

Whew. That feels much better. The first step of repenting is confession, so thanks for allowing me to get that off my chest. Seriously though, I'll do better from now on. If I haven't posted at least once a week please send me hate mail until I update. I don't want this to end up like Derek's blog...
