Another Job Opportunity

I got offered another promotion at my company. It is the Junior DBA position that I was told about late last year but it never panned out due to company restructuring. Now, someone is leaving the company and there is now an open position.

The last couple of weeks have been crazy. I just got promotion, I interviewed for a new job, and now I am being offered another position in a completely different field. There are of thing to sort out -- pros and cons of each job -- before I make a decision by the end of the week. It is not necessarily about money; it is more about the quality of life. So far nothing is topping the possible 11 weeks off the job I interviewed for is offering. I will have to call them tomorrow and see if I am still in the running for the position.

Update at the end of the week.

Best Week Ever?

Yesterday: I got a promotion and a raise.

Today: I had an interview for possible job (which my current employer suggested I apply for) and it looks like I am front runner for this position. With 11 weeks of vacation and mo' money, I think I might take the job.

Also, my best friend since the 7th grade announced that he and his wife are having a baby.

This week can't get any better ... can it?

Neglect

I know that I have been neglecting my blog and just been posting a lot of tennis stuff. But tennis is a major part of my life right now. My goal by the end of the year is to move up a level (from 3.0 to 3.5) and it takes a lot of practice time and tournaments to do that. So sorry if I have been boring you to death with all my tennis talk.

I have to many ideas that I am trying to create posts for: Project Catwalk 2 (UK version), my failed music career, the return of The Greek ... just to name a few. I am also at a career crossroad and I have to make some decisions within the next month or so.

Your patience will be rewarded ... but, don't hold me to that. I am very non-committal when it comes to my blog. So ... set your expectations low when you visit.

Thanks!

Downtime

My site was down for a couple of days because the server crashed. Luckily, my info was backup and restored for the most part.

I will be posting something tomorrow. It may or may not be interesting, but stay tooned.

2006 New Year Resolution Wrap-up

• Blog more - I have a lot of thoughts but I never seem to manage to type them up. I will try to make more of an effort to blog more.
• I think I did a lot of blogging in 2006 so I think I fulfilled the resolution.
  
• Get tattoo - I am still designing it, and I am not sure where to put it.
• I decided to change the design and the location of the tattoo, so I will get it sometime this year.
  
• Make it past the first round in a (singles) tennis tournament.
• completed - I won my first tournament
  
• Get in shape by actually going to the gym and cut down eating (delicious) fatty food from McDonalds and other fast food place.
• Yeah ... this didn't happened.
  
• Find an apartment that is close to work when my roommate moves back to Canada.
• completed - I decided to stay in the same apartment.
  
• "Come out" to mom and dad - I think it is about time.
• Watch every Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode - With over 120 episodes at 85 minutes each, it will take me the entire year to get through them all. I own all the episodes but only watched 40 of them.
• watch seasons 4, 5, 8-10. still need to see the other episodes.
  
• Watch all three seasons of Nip/Tuck - I heard a lot of good things about the show but I didn't have the FX Network at the time.
• I made it halfway through season 1, but I didn't like any of the characters so I lost interest.

I am deciding my list for 2007 and I will post it sometime this week.

Happy New Year!
