Early morning --
Geez! It seems to get harder and harder to get up every day, though actually
sleeping in seems darned near impossible! I find it harder and harder to
sleep in as I get older but at least our 10-year old son is letting us sleep in
sometimes -- all the way to 7:00 AM.
I work for the Development Office at the the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as the Applications Development Manager, leading a team of software developers and a DBA in support of the university's Development Office and the UNC General Alumni Association. We are still looking for a replacement for our aging mainframe data entry system though it now looks like we will probably opt for a vendor supplied solution rather than developing our own . I am a native of North Carolina and a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (BA, MA).
My areas of expertise include (but are not necessarily limited to):
Mid-day break -- A chance to relax and
contemplate the morning's achievements while talking things over with a
colleague. I work at home nearly full time these days so my work schedule
can be a little un conventional. Talking with a colleague these days
usually means email, telephone or some other electronic device.
Telecommuting is great but you have to make and effort to get out of the house
and actually talk to a real person once in a while.
Some of my hobbies and interest include:
Some of my favorite Web sites:
Day's end, time to go home -- The moon
is rising and the day is nearly done. I'll probably start howling if I don't get
out of here soon. Just a little longer and I can turn off this machine and go
down stairs to my wife and son.
