Plan B

So, as I have mentioned before, I have been somewhat worried about getting laid off from U.Va. in the coming year. Most people at work think I am paranoid, but I guess I have learned from the past that surprises do happen and nothing is completely for certain. Just the…

Incompleteness

The other night I decided to read through all of my old blog posts – it was interesting, although I noticed that I never really followed through on a few of the more interesting posts. For example, I started to detail my dad‘s panic disorder and subsequent substance abuse and…

Turmoil

Over the past few weeks, things have been pretty hectic at work. We have been receiving emails about how the University is facing tough times ahead and that they are doing everything they can to protect the workforce and avoid layoffs. That is somewhat comforting news, but I am well…

Your Silent Face

A thought that never changes Remains a stupid lie It’s never been quite the same No hearing or breathing No movement, no colors Just silence Rise and fall of shame A search that shall remain We asked you what you’d seen You said you didn’t care Sound formed in a…

Another House

Santino and I met with the real estate agent to look at another house today. This one was about $70,000 less expensive than the one other one I blogged about. It has half the amount of acreage, is about eighteen years old and is one story as opposed to two…

Accomplishment

Last Thursday I attended a reception at Garrett Hall at U.Va. to receive an award for the work I did on the Music Department website redesign project I completed last summer at my job. It felt nice. I have been doing a whole bunch of incremental improvements for the Arts…

Small Sturdy Steps

Those of you that are perhaps regular readers or know me personally may know that I have been working on one particular website for about six years now. The website is called technobass.net and it is a labor of love – something I conceptualized and took steps to create before…

House Fever

The weekend before last, for some reason, inspired me to start looking at real estate. Maybe it is because of the fall season’s induction of triggering the nesting instinct, I do not know. I am not sure at all what impelled me to start looking for property to buy (intuition?)…
