a short entry<\/u><\/b> – what’s up with life<\/p>\n

Hiya! This will be a short entry to keep you up on what’s happening.<\/p>\n

I had a good Christmas, I enjoyed my time with the girls and with my family.
\nI got some decent gifts and handed out a few \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have been working since Wednesday at client X<\/i> and it has been cool
\nbut very tiring. There is a project that is a kind of behind on a deadline for Tuesday
\nand we are working with the tiger crew to get it on track in time. I am not sure
\nyet how it will work out for the week-end but so far I have been worked all day
\nfor two days and will wind up doing it again on Friday (today).<\/p>\n

The people are cool, the work is OK and the office dog is the one of the
\ncoolest puppies around. He seems to have an affinity for bagels! <\/p>\n

In any case, Tatsumi<\/a>
\nis working on the project with me so that is a good thing. One of the best
\naspects of this contract is that the client is working with dotPublishing,
\nInc.<\/a> instead of with us as individuals. While we primarily weren’t thinking
\nabout it at the time it is in retrospect a crucial issue for us and thankfully
\nit is all working out fine.<\/p>\n

Our agreement pretty much makes dotPublishing a external vendor for client
\nX<\/i>  and while we did agree on an hourly rate mostly this is a project by
\nproject bid system. That leaves us with the flexibility to simply not ‘sign on’
\nfor a project if we aren’t going to be able to dedicate our resources to them
\nduring that time frame.<\/p>\n

Basically, dotPublishing no longer has to go looking for clients as we have
\none who is more than capable of using all the time we can offer them. That is
\na good thing<\/u>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, if we aren’t very<\/b><\/i> careful they could suck up all
\nour time and leave us without a functioning company simply because we wouldn’t
\nhave been able to ‘take care of business’ outside of their contract. That would
\nbe a bad thing<\/u>.<\/p>\n

I think we are savvy enough to be able to handle it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Kimiko<\/a> is
\ndoing OK, fortunately she can start taking her anti-depressants again (yeah!<\/i>)
\nand the one we are working with now seems to have a track record of helping with
\nmigraines and cluster headaches so hopefully that will help her on two fronts.
\nThe Imitrex is still working like a charm but we have to be careful about how
\nmuch she takes for several reasons. Not the least of which is that the insurance
\ncompany we use will only pay for six(6) doses every thirty(30) days. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

In any case, that’s what’s up! Oh, and here is the current weather forecast
\nhere, and the main reason why I am hoping to be able to work from home this
\nweekend. I have a bet with my Mom that we won’t get more than 1\/2 inch of snow.<\/p>\n

\n\n\n
\n
    \n
  • Friday:<\/b> Mostly sunny. High in the lower 30s. Northeast wind
    \n 5 to 10 mph.<\/li>\n
  • Friday night:<\/b> Increasing cloudiness. Chance of snow after
    \n midnight. Low 20 to 25. Chance of snow 40 percent.<\/li>\n
  • Saturday:<\/b> Snow…Heavy at times. Significant accumulation
    \n possible. High near 30. Chance of snow 90 percent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

    On another note, I have really missed blogging. I know, it sounds weird but I
    \nhave been so crazy trying to find work of late that I felt like it would be a 
    \nbad thing for me to take the time to rant. Fortunately I think I can handle it
    \nnow. <\/p>\n
