I have figured it all out...
I am sure PeppyAnnie will catch everyone up on her trip soon. Read her blog.
So I often just have to take some time to figure out what is bothering me and what to do about it. Here is what I have come up with:
So I often just have to take some time to figure out what is bothering me and what to do about it. Here is what I have come up with:
- I am tired of my current career after doing it for 21 years. I like Information Technology as a tool, and I used to like it as a career. There is too much pressure and I am on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 1/4 days a year. I can't REALLY take a vacation because, for some reason, nobody can manage to put all of the pieces together to fix the issue. People are more into the blame game, rather than fixing it.
- I am at the right age for a change. I am not too old yet, and I have a good idea as to how businesses as a whole run. No, this is NOT a middle-aged reflection on life and a need to go buy a Mazda Miata to make up for the things I have missed out on. This is an "I'm tired" and I need something that is not constantly on.
- I like providing experiences. I cannot go into detail about what I will be doing yet, but I think this new venture will work out nice.
- When first starting out, I can do this from home.
Now there are drawbacks to any career change:
- Uncertainty...I am not sure I will be able to do as well in this new career idea as I do in my current job.
- Money...I do fairly well on the money side of things, I intend to make as much in my new career, but there is that uncertainty thing again.
- I will be spending a lot of my extra time working toward my new goal which means everything else (including blogging) moves to the back-burner.
So, in general, I will not be blogging while working on other ideas and ventures. I may come on once in a while to check on everyone, but for now all I can say is, thank you very much. I imagine my wife, (QueenSuchandSuch) will continue on, so keep an eye on her.
