Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing? LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask. I’m 2 weeks + 2 days out from Bariatric Sleeve surgery. So far I’ve lost 14 lbs. I’m normally losing about a pound a day. I’ve moved on to the “puree’d diet” portion of recovery. Things which can be blended. I can only…

Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing? LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask. I’m 1 week + 1 day out from Bariatric sleeve surgery.

Friday Five – Rube Goldberg Machine
1. Work It’s review time. It’s annoying.. but it’s necessary. Everything else is pretty quiet. Most of my projects are on hold until after the new year. The one project that’s not on hold I’m only barely involved in. I had taken two weeks off to recover from my surgery.. but since the surgery didn’t complete I ended up only…

This means I’ll need to re-asses my backburner projects to come up with projects for myself and my direct report. Meh.…

On Thursday TPTB announced that they’ve hired a new head for my division and President for my division. The new head, Paul Whose-Surname-I-Never-Heard, comes from Fandango and the new President, Mark Larkin, is someone who was previously a…
Friday Five – Giggity
1. Work I still work for Red Ventures in the AdTech department. Instead of reporting into a central corporate team I’m now moved back to report into the CNET Group (a smaller sub-set of sites). Sites in the CNET Group make revenue from ads.. and other RV sites do not make revenue that way. I understand it.. but I’m disappointed.…
Bowls
Your life is a bunch of bowls in front of you. Each bowl is full of VERY IMPORTANT THINGS (eating healthy, getting exercise, paying all your bills on time, giving attention to grow your relationship with your partner, friendships, that book you want to write…etc). You are able to hold up and concentrate on only so many things (for our…

The child asked, “Mother, why do you always cut the ends off the ham?” The mother replied, “Well, that’s the way my mother always did it.” So, the child called her grandmother and…
