Time to be Happy

I miss Em. While I had more free time than usual I was trying to squeeze in some time back in Huntsville with Emily but Em’s mom didn’t come up with anything. I think things are extra hectic over there since Emily is going to have a new brother or sister real soon now.

My unofficial vacation is about to come to an end. I start a 4 month contract-to-hire position doing perl development either this Monday or a week later. I have a plone/python project, a php/mysql and a unix admin project to wrap up. The company I’m going to work for is up in North Dallas right near where I lived when I first moved here in ‘99. Apparently insurance companies rarely pay all of their bills to hospitals and doctors. This company uncovers the difference in what the insurance companies owe and what they paid and gets the rest of the money. So it’s nice to stick it to the insurance companies for once. :)

This is the first job I’ve gotten that wasn’t based on referrals from friends, although Tina did refer me to the recruiters that found the job. I had always wondered if I have the skills to do it on my own.

Now that the basics are taken care of, it’s time to play and have fun with life.
