I'm in Sacramento today, to give a presentation on technology & church life at an episco-conference. I've actually gotten reasonably good at these things, despite the fact that I always freak out for about 48 hours beforehand.
The original plan was to bring Dennis and Isaac with me and have a little weekend trip, but that didn't really work out for a bunch of reasons, so I had a little solo road trip/Smiths singalong last night, and had my own nice hotel room where I sat and obsessed about my presentation and missed my baby.
I have to keep reminding myself that I'm still in detox from St. Ned's and need to watch the negativity; it's nothing horrible, just that standard thing that happens after you leave any long-term situation, where you are finally free to examine all the things you had to ignore to get through the day. But if you didn't know that you might think I was kind of a jerk.
I really, really like the new job. I'm in over my head technically and don't know where everything is, which means I get to spend my days essentially solving puzzles. And solving puzzles makes me happy. I need to do some serious cube renovation, though; I think I'm going to pull all my Simpsons action figures and playsets (aka "toys") out of storage, where they have been since we left Oakland, and set them up in there. I have too much space and not enough crap. Plus I will be able to explain concepts using Kang and Kodos as diagram tools. Let's say that Kang is the database, and then Boxing Homer comes over and asks for this record and hands it off to Itchy...
