Back at it

It was a nice 4 day weekend, even though we spent all but the few hours we were at my parents Christmas Day inside the house. It’s still cold and icy here in Columbus, but they are promising us warmer weather starting tomorrow, so maybe some of this ice will, finally, start to melt!

I won’t complain though, given the events of this weekend in other areas of the world, a little snow and ice is nothing. We didn’t even lose power!

Mean time there’s a ton of stuff for me to get done this week at work, so I probably won’t have the mental energy to work with one of my Christmas gifts, VMWare, but I’ve already been out playing with the new camera lens-filters, listening to the new CD’s and the picture my wife got me is already hung in the living room. She’s been busy with the Nintendo DS, so I don’t really have much to say about playing that yet. Maybe she’ll tell you more about it. 🙂

  • Linked – How to repair a trust problem

    She mentions a round of layoffs as an example of breaking trust, and I’m glad she included that. All too often, when a round of layoffs occurs, senior management will return to talking about the culture or set of core values they expect all employees to follow without ever acknowledging that it’s different now. You can’t just return to talking about the importance of teamwork and diversity when you just canned 10% of the team as if nothing happened.

  • Back in the saddle again

    I’m back at work this morning after the three day weekend. It was a nice break, and we had a good time in DC over the weekend, although anytime you’re visiting the Holocaust Memorial, the Vietnam Wall and the many other memorials and tributes, it’s always a bit sobering. Especially considering I had never been…

    Things have been so busy with work stuff, social events, and unplanned website issues that a number of half-finished projects are sitting around waiting for me to get to. I hate when that happens. I get stressed when I have projects that are unfinished. So, starting tomorrow (tonight’s the Dave Matthews concert) I’m going to…
