Less Work, More Work & Back Pain Recently I decided to give myself less work to do. I took a step back from duties with Fortress. There are a a great deal of reasons why. The primary reason is I wanted time for me. I decided to take up playing drums in a pipe band again (more on that later). I found the day to day tasks becoming things I really didn't care to do any longer. The company has been changing, not necessarily in a bad way, just in a way that doesn't suit my lifestyle, or the work environments I want. I did not leave abruptly, nor am I turning my back in any way. I have just changed my role to be purely a consultant. I'm not going to be hands on any longer (or only at very specific requested times). I had a lot of good times in the past 3 years. I just want to focus on some other things.

Now that I have less work with Fortress, I have more work with everything else I do. Bikerpak is rolling ahead, and we are really excited about that. Possibilities in B.C, and we are also looking into something with boats as well. That's busy. Toolkit is super busy as well. Kevin and I have been ripping up the code the past few weeks. Southland portal, HR, Lloyds stuff, Commercial features, new version features, it's exciting. We need to find some time, and really house clean the code base, and morph it into a new development plan.

I woke up Sunday with back pain ... was not fun. I woke up Monday, and could not straighten up. It was painful. You'd be surprised how many day to day things you take for granted with a working back. Certain bathroom activities become rather difficult. :( I am no longer in pain, but just discomfort yesterday and today. Hopefully I'll be back in game shape for next week.

I am picking up Peyton from school today. Aaron is in Oslo, and Mikala has a meeting. Tomorrow is Halloween and I'm picking Aaron up at the airport at 8:00ish. Lets just get through this week, watch some football, and get to next week feeling better.  ¶ 12:15:00 PM 0 comments
