I blog about inspiration both here and over at Book View Cafe. Feel free to comment either here or over there!
This week, I’m afraid, is again going to be about a different type of inspiration.
However, this week was also very different.
I hadn’t planned it this way. It was my choice.
This week turned out to be the last week I worked my day job.
Let me explain.

This is probably a Part I of X posts, but until the next parts come, I’m not going to bother labeling them as such.
I spent the first three weeks of this year in New Zealand. Now, I’m on sabbatical from the day job: I won’t go back until March 17th.…

One of the things I like about my day job is that even though I work in the software industry, it runs its releases like a machine.…
Yeah, I’m doing day job work today. I was supposed to do it yesterday, but spent the day figuring out the new configuration for my kitchen instead.
I’m not too bothered. I’m doing fairly easy stuff today, and only for a few hours.…
I haven’t written this week. Nor am I going to. I’m here in SF for the day job. It’s the big annual convention for my company.…
Today is my last day with Oracle/PeopleSoft. I’m sad, relieved, happy — just a whole bunch of things.
This post is mostly for those who might be checking out my blog (LJ) for the first time. Welcome! There is a lot of blather about the most recent novel here, and not much else I’m afraid.…
