Howdy all. It’s another fine morning on IT Mountain. The birds have all gone, the warm breeze of summer has been quickly replaced by a bitter cold of the impending winter, and the sun has begun it’s long hibernation until spring. The last time I passed this mark in our yearly rotation around the sun, I was headed for new opportunities with an employer who’s business it is to perform IT services. This time around, I’m headed back to the company who’s business it isn’t.

The interesting thing is that I’m feeling a bit of anxiety about this change. I have to admit that I’ve known about it for some time, or at least known that the discussions were going on. My feelings at the time were closer to glee than to anything resembling anxiety. But now, as we get closer to the 1/1/06 date, I’m starting to feel some uncertainty. I’m pretty sure that it’s related to my pesky resistance to change, which I fight to the best of my ability, so I shouldn’t be too worried.

It is cold outside this morning. Google is telling me it’s 30 degrees. There was ice on the bike. I’ve been at work for twenty minutes and I’m still cold. Enough said.

Of course, I’m going to continue with the randomness. I’m feeling random this morning.

DirecTV added XM radio to their channel lineup recently (sometime last week). It’s really nifty. I could easily become a proponent of satellite radio. Of course, this just means I’ll find all sorts of new things that I’ll have to buy.

Our VoIP provider, Packet8, will be implementing E911 on 11/28. Yeah for that!

We’re off to the in-laws tomorrow night in preparation for Turkey Day festivities.

Hmm… I think that’s it.

Out.
