Week at home

So the new job has up-sides and down-sides. This week I have been at home, since the end customer was not ready to kick off their project. Its nice being home and able to do things during the day, but the comp plan I'm on means that a week at home is a week without being eligible for the bonus kickers. That's a drag. Its also been a little contentious being at home while Chaz is doing his job search. Admittedly, there's not much to do but call and put resumes out there, but there's plenty of tasks around the house that need to get done as well. We made a list of things that have been started in the past 8 years and not quite finished; hopefully that list will be reduced quite a bit during this downtime. One of the big projects is refinishing the concrete countertops in the kitchen. It'll mean eating out a few more times, but they'll look and perform better. I had lunch with some former colleagues on Monday, and hopefully I'll see a couple of them at the office today if I go there for happy hour. They owe me a couple of beers I think.
