Outside the Perimeter: Darn!

Darn!

I was offered a contract yesterday for a technical writer position, which my wife told me I had to take. (Tip: The true secret to a long lasting marriage is doing what your wife says). Reluctantly, I will be giving up the carefree life of an unemployed technical writer to live the life in the cubicle fast lane.

The upside is that we will be able to revert to the lifestyle to which we had become accustomed. Which in essence means we will be able to reactivate HBO so I can watch The Wire and hopefully catch up with Six Feet Under.

The downside is that my touch-typing skills will now be devoted more to something that pays. That will probably mean less blogging.

There are a few upcoming events that I am going to be sure to cover. First, the PWers in Atlanta are getting together again to watch the next Presidential debate. If I can have WIFI access, I am thinking about liveblogging our reaction. I'll also be watching the VP debate tonight, if only to see Edwards proposal for a class action suit against of Al Queda. Next up will be election eve.

Later in November, PW will be attending the big protest at Fort Benning at the School of the Americas. Once again, I'll be covering that event and should be able to come up with some interesting video and stills.

Of course, I'll still be posting as the muse requires, but I am not sure how often that is going to work out with my rejoining of the rat race.

Congrats on the new job offer...I think. I know what you mean because I am a recruiter who hires tech writers, mech engineers and double EE's in a cube environment. I also love to blog, but it's hard to do when you are doing the 50 hour week with a 15 month old and a 3 day old.

Please stay the course, though. Your blog has interesting commentary, and I hope you will continue the good fight, comrade!

Best e-gards,

Thanks for the comment. Just wait until they get older and start extracurricular activities. We are now booked every night of the week except Friday, and pretty much all day Saturday.

Sometimes, I wish I had a job. But, what I really want is a paycheck. That whole going to the same place every day thing... oh well, maybe I'll stay self-employed a little longer.

Is there a POC for Protest Warriors joining the School of the Americas shindig at Benning? Have watched those nut jobs protest a fine institution for years and would like to disagree, amiably of course, with them if my schedule allows. Please point me in the right direction to help. Thanks!
