After another awful day at "Real Job", I've decided a change is in order. I think I will start looking for some comparatively low stress Java programming contracts to pay the bills while I try and get my ideas up and running. I'm finding that the stress of my current job, Technical Director of a very small software company, is really affecting my ability to function as a normal human being. Plus I can make more money contracting, which will give me some more flexibility. Also, my current job is a work-from-home situation, which was been great while ny daughter was a baby, but isn't exactly conducive to networking. I think it's time to get back into the real workforce.
Of course this brings with it a task I dread: updating my Resume. I actually have to do three ... one for the start-up focusing on all my skills, one for Java contracts focusing on my programming skills, and one for management contracts focusing on my management skills. So the next few nights I will be "massaging" my resumes. Fortunately, my current resume isn't too out of date, but I don't have anything on my current job.
Today, my wife picked up an application form for a post off box, so next week I'll get that sorted and then the business cards will follow. I have decided to go with Vista as they have a design I like and 100 cards only costs $12.49, although I am yet to see the shipping costs.
I still need to setup the Mac OS X coding environment, so I may do that tomorrow during family nap-time. My first sample Dashboard widget will be a slideshow for iPhoto, if it's possible (I have no idea at this stage). Otherwise, I may make a newsreader for this blog.
