Rants welcome - you're among family!

This blog IS still on the Internet, but I am going to lock it down once everyone logs in. It will not be available to anyone that doesn't have the address (so don't be out posting it).
Hopefully this will be mostly amongst family - to give us a bit of privacy and freedom.

My other blog is very "filtered".

Just 1 job!

Hey all,

As of you know, for the last 7 months I have been working 2 full time jobs. Well, that is officially over!

Last Monday, I started as the Customer Service Manager for a new company called Strata8 (www.strata8.com). Here are a few things I have noticed already.

The good:
*When I came in, I was all set up (laptop, desk phone and business cards)
*Free soda in the fridge
*It's low-key, not too many hyper people

The bad:
*Since the department doesn't exist, I am having trouble getting the ball rolling. In other words, I am bored! Reviewing some documents and a few other things is all I have done.
*The commute sucks! Not as bad as Angie's but I am not used to seeing other cars on the road on the way home.
*Did I mention I am bored?

Regardless of the good and bad, I will make this happen for this company and the best thing is I get to go home each night and actually see Frankie!

That's it for now. More rants later.

Welcome Snell's (and wanna be's)

As I stated in the email... this only works if we all contribute.
Let's stay in better touch - I'll invite the kids tonight - encourage them to be a part too. The kids should find this easy, and have much to say. If they can tell myspace so much, they outta be able to tell us a little.
