Moving the office.

Things have gotten iffy at the day job. If we were capable of holding on to clients for longer than eighteen months we'd be in much better shape than we are: that's about how long it takes our customers to figure out that - because we (and by "we", I mean dataGuy) can't effectively manage our time or their expectations - there are more things wrong than right more often than not. Couple that with general panic in the auto industry, and the fact that, come October, we will be about $60k in the hole if no more sales come in - and there's no reason to expect that they will - I may very well be jobless.

( The story, such as it is... )

On an emotional note, I'm used to rolling up my sleeves but I'm getting awfully tired of it.



¹ Something I can do if I get really desperate, though it's not my first choice.

² The porch, a massively expensive undertaking, will have to wait another year.

³ If you're interested: I write websites like this and this and this for auto dealers using Classic ASP and javascript. I make pretty heavy use of Prototype and Scriptaculous libraries. I can also administer MS SQL Server and IIS. Graphics, too, and multimedia (light Flash, for instance, though I'm a little rusty.)
