Instead of apologizing for any lack of posting, I’ll simply tell you that my life has been very hectic recently. Aside from work going nuts (5am meetings and 5pm end of days) I have been trying to balance my work and my new role, Mr. Mom. You see, my company has recently started an awesome teleworking program which means I am home a lot more now.
The way it works is that I am pair with another person in the building and work from home half the week and from a shared cubicle the other half. (alternating Mon/Wed/Fri and Tues/Thurs) This arrangement benefits both myself and the company. For me, I save on driving, gas, wear and tear on the car, and hours of traffic a week (on average I was driving 10-15 hours a week just to get to work) For the company, they get to plan for smaller work spaces due to less cubicles being used, less power consumption, less wear and tear, less water usage, etc. They also end up getting a longer work day. Most people tend to log in earlier and work later when working from home, I know I do.
The other great thing for me is that I now get to spend a lot of time with my son at home. Now at four months old (pictures at the bottom) he is becoming more and more fun. He plays and laughs, rolls over and is now starting to eat some level 1 foods. He really is a little boy now and less of a baby. Me being at home also helps out my parents and my wife’s parents as they had agreed to watch him when we worked. Now they are asking to take him on some days because they only get half of the time they anticipated.
All in all I am thrilled to be home, working and raising my son. Sure it gets hectic some days when I am on a conference call and he is strapped to my chest in his baby Bjorn, but I just tough it out and share some laughs with him later on.
Non baby related, you will begin seeing more posts from me now that I am more settled in what I am doing with work and Josh. I have a ton of topics to write about, some sexual, some not, either way, I am aching to write again. I genuinely miss it.
