I have a life...

seems like my saturdays are filled with going to my daughter cheerleading peewee football games. Surprising enough its interesting to watch these kids play so hard and the parents take it so seriously. Don't know who wants it more the boys or the dads. One thing though why is it that so few dads of just the cheerleaders ever show up to watch their daughters.

Another glorious day of an IBMer.

Why do I do this to myself? Is it because I like pain and punishment. Decided as of a few weeks ago that I would move into another position in the company that would put me back into a cubicle again. Having worked from home for the last 5 years, it seemed like the right thing to do. It gave me the opportunity to watch my kids grow, not to mention my stomach.
It could have been environment related, I just got tired of dealing with the politics of the position. At least in the new position, I gain some control. Not to mention education and new skills made available.

Old position, IBM architect for Global Technologies Center handling web application deployments.

New Position : Software engineer support Power series on AIX 5.3 and Linux. (ooh fun / Joy. Virtual processing and supercomputing) HMC, Virtual I/O etc.

I guess its just the tech in me that makes me drool at this stuff. I've just been introduced into a lab that has enough computing power to run a large city. Drool!

Enough of this though. This is my life and adventure into my new position.
