Burning Man was epic once again. What can I say. From the insane flaming bar that our camp built, to being able to play to hundreds of people during one of the most epic sunsets of my life, words really just do not do it justice. Coming back into the real world was once again very intense in many different ways from logistically to emotionally. But alas I have finally returned, and while there is pieces of my mind and soul that are still far from home, overall I have re-assimilated into society as much as I am probably going to, and onward ho!
On on that note, shortly after my return this year I was given the exciting opportunity to come on board MySpace.com as a full time senior engineer, so life will be shifting around a bit for me here very shortly. I have been primarily working from home for the past 4+ years, so going back to working with people and not being such a caveman I am looking forward too, as well as working on some really big projects.
Sometimes, well a lot of the times, life is weirdly pleasant. Just as I had started to dig in with my spare time and find other ways to up my game and find interesting things to do, I have gotten hit with quite a freight train of work you could say.
So lately I have been laying low, trying to get all my ducks in a row, and coincidentally, I have not been learning how to sew. I did manage to however have enough free time to make this mix last weekend, and finally it is on sound cloud for your downloading pleasure.
Other than that, I am not sure how long this flood of work will last, but I am going to milk it up while I can. Only 30 days or so until I leave for burning man which is insane and awesome at the same time. This year I will definitely be gone a whole week, but not sure how much more than that I will have time for. Very excited about the camp this year though :)
Well my vacation has come to an end, and work is definitely back in full swing. It is taking me longer than I would like to get all my pictures and stories online, but check back soon and I will be making entries :)
Working from home definitely has its pros, and certainly has it cons. Often times it seems very one way or the other, and never even-flow. It is a challenge to have a consistant level of motivation, day after day. Unlike a normal job, where you look forward to the hour hand hitting the 5 or 6pm mark and you are free, you are never really 'free' from yourself if you are the only one have to answer to. I've found the following to help me immensely:
Getting up at 7am, and getting going on some work before anyone has the chance to bug me.
Telling myself that I will work until the job is done, regardless of what time it is.
Coffee, Kombucha, Sparks, or any other food or liquid that makes your brain go faster.
