Writer's Bloc
I'm in a creative slump right now. You can probably tell this from my lack of quality posts lately. The thing about writer's block isn't that your ideas are bad; it's just that YOU think all your ideas are bad. This has been true with my photos, blog posts, and my work lately.
I'm not sure why I'm in this slump. Things have been going incredibly well over the past few weeks. I just got promoted at Anteon. I'm now a Senior Software Engineer. I'm really stoked about the engineer part. It only took a college degree and 5 years experience with the company. I got my promotion with the Florida Air National Guard. I'm now a Technical Sergeant (E-6) and in charge of the career development and training of several other members. I'm really excited about this. The pay is a little better for one thing, and after 8 years of service, I'm looking forward most of all to taking on more responsibilities. It was hard coming to drill once a month, and doing the same exact thing for 8 years. Plus I need to feel like I'm moving forward all the time.
Michele and I are expecting our third child. I'm really excited about this too. I just found out on my way back from OKC. We had our first two kids when we we're really young. At that time I was focused on getting my education and establishing my career. Now, I feel like I have more time to soak in the child birth experience. I'm enjoying spending more time with my family.
I refinanced my house, and paid off all my debt. I still have enough money to do some home improvement stuff I've wanted to do.
So now you're up to date. I hope you realize how hard it was to hit the submit button on this post. I'm sure I've come out of this slump soon. I have to. Hopefully I'll get into work tomorrow and lay down a few lines of great code or redesign some great new layouts. Man, I hope so.
