dexfarkinFirst off, to my friends in the Great Satan, I hope you had a good holiday of over-eating and then blowing shit up. Being that it is now July the 5th, allow me to direct you to a speech on that day from the esteemed Frederick Douglass, which makes a nice reminder that the symbology of the day aside, freedom has and will always be a process, at times enlarged and at times constrained, and rarely equally distributed or enojoyed. With the recent developments with the VFA and assaults on the reproductive freedoms of women in numerous states, it rings perhaps a little louder and more relevant than in some other years - http://www.historyisaweapon.com/defcon1/douglassjuly4.html

I've made not secret on the fact that I'm not terribly happy in my current job. Without going into grand detail, the TL:DR summary is that I have all the responsibility for anything that goes wrong, and virtually no authority to drive making things right, which is just not a sustainable state of affairs. So, I've hung my shingle back out and snagged an interview for Tuesday with another company - a position with more money, more authority, and more focus. Hopefully, I'll be able to land it and make a smooth transition. If not, it's a very encouraging sign for further, future opportunities.
