...in posting. But my typical 20 minutes of free time on Sunday mornings gives me a chance to put a few lines down.
Things that have been hoovering up all of my free time:
1) Getting a new job (start next Monday)
2) Wrapping things up with the old employer
3) Getting ready for ski season
4) Trying to be an attentive husband and Dad (that take up a shocking amount of time)
5) spending a few moments every so often sitting on the new "Negative Energy Zone" (new sectional sofa)
Been asked quite a lot by my current co-workers why I am leaving the employ of my current employer. To which I respond, "More money, every other Monday off, employer provided ski pass with powder mornings and lunch runs, career advancement opportunities, can ride my bike to work, and I don't have to spend two weeks in Vegas every May".
To which they reply, almost to a man, "Your new job still hiring?"
I will begin working for a small company soon, I have already let them know of a trip in a few weeks to Vegas (not my idea, but still should be fun, as I plan to do little but lavish attention on Mrs. Crazed American, sit by the pool and read some books), and a visit by the Crazed American's oldest friend, and original blog reader, I'm a World Traveler....
A visit, for which I am more than slightly stoked.
I shall reintroduce my oldest friend to the glories of winter sports (he has never skied on shaped skis before...). I shall endeavor to get my liver into some semblance of shape. Needless to say, we may do just a "little" bit of drinking...
I am also going to do my da-nedest to make winter sports pleasant for the new bride of Mr. World Traveler. My reasoning is (I have proof that this works) if I make it more enjoyable for her, the two of them will make it a habit to come on out. A win-win for everybody!
I will try to post more, as this coming week I just have loose ends at current employer to tie up. After that, I will have to spend quite a bit of time making a good impression on new employer. Then ski season starts...
So - we'll see
Crazed American, out.
