Job Training

As I said in my previous entry there was a secondary reason why I hadn't been around for quite some time. With my new job I was in a different state for a month doing job training. After searching for and applying to and interviewing for new jobs for an entire year I finally got hired. I had been trying to get a promotion in the company I was working for for quite some time and the lousy district manager kept promoting guys that were younger than me, single and still living with their parents. Apparently being in your mid-twenties and having a family to feed didn't fit into their idea of a manager. Oh well...


The new company I'm working for is a bit smaller but it is in the same industry as the previous one. I am actually enjoying it quite a bit more, though I still long for the day when I can just work from home.


So this doesn't exactly help me in my pursuit of self-employment because now I am working more hours. But on the other hand I am also making a bit more money so I can fund other projects better and I have an hour lunch now so I'm planning on ways to be productive during that hour. We shall see.

A New Job

Well it really doesn't have too much to do with my pursuit of self-employment but I got a new job. Finally after 5 and a half years at a soul-sucking job I have found a new better paying job. But along with better pay comes working more hours. Working more hours could definitely hinder my self-employed pursuits but making more money helps me take care of my family better which is what is important right now. And making more money can also aid in funding self-employed pursuits like my music. I start on Monday so it's gonna be a new adventure.

In other news my tracking of my Productivity Points kind of fell by the wayside during the past couple weeks because of a major computer failure and subsequent computer replacement. I still don't have my tracking file back but 2 weeks ago I think I scored around 13 and then last week I scored at least 16. So things were improving but this week doesn't appear to be going as well though I'm still guessing until I have my tracking file back. I'm still seeing a trend towards getting things done that are always easy for me to get done and continuing to not get to some of the things that have been typically hard for me to get to.
