Long time no write

OK, I haven't written in LJ in almost a month.  That is pretty bad.  Major reason was I was M-I-S-E-R-A-B-L-E at my job.  Well last week was it for that job.  A new one starts in a week.  I could go into all the gory details about what I did not like about my old job but that does no one any good.  Needless to say I am excited about spending time with my family, starting a new job.  This is my 3rd job in the two years I've been back from JA.  Not too sure that is a good sign but oh well, I'm excited about my new job.  It is an ICT management position at a big international think tank (though big by international think standards means like 200 employees). 

In other news I've been playing on Facebook a lot lately.  I've had a membership for the past two years and did barely anything with it.  Then when apps started there my old job started to write them   So I spent time testing them on FB.  In doing that I noticed a lot of people online there that I had come across at different stages in my life.  There were an especially large number of PCVs there as most of them still had their Uni addresses.  It is interesting to see what some of them are up to. 

In family news the baby seems to be regressing.  He has become a god awful sleeper. Instead of waking up once a night like he was a few weeks ago now it is 3 or 4 times.  Never sleeping for more then 3 hours at a stretch.  It is bad.  Has C at her wits end.  Hopefully we can figure this one out otherwise he may be stunting his intellectual growth.  Or perhaps the lack of sleep could be his natural rhythm.  There are a few members of my mothers family who only sleep 3-4 hours a night.  They are called the witches.  Perhaps he has inherited that gene from my  moms side of the family.  If so hopefully he can figure out how to amuse himself at night.

Oh yeah if you want to catch up on the family Dugesman you can see lots & lots of photos on Flickr.  We have become serious addicts.

Anyways hopefully my new job is better then my old one, my son becomes a better sleeper, and we have a good time in my week off,.  If you want to know the gory unhappy details about why I left, the lack of sleep we are getting or anything else just ask off-line.  That sort of complaining always comes back to haunt one.  Just ask all those stupid people who have their inappropriate items from the internet show up when the run for American Idol, Mrs. America, etc.

Congrats at leaving, though I may throw things at you now that we don't have an advocate on the inside.

I spoke with someone randomly who'd worked with another of your former employees' sites and was similarly unenthused about the tools available.

Anyhow, we should catch up IRL and outside of work soon
