I don't want to burst the bubble or make it end, but I have to take a moment and give thanks to whoever wants them for my job. Finally, after 3 failed or failing startups, I've found the kind of place Beyond was way back when. The people are great, funny, self-confident, entertaining and good at what they do. The work is the most challenging HTML work I've ever done but I'm getting it done.

It's just what I needed. My last job was steeped in an unkindness and uncertainty that made everyone I was around mean. It's worth the Bart adventures and the contracting agency that is baffled by simple math. Working at home is great but I miss my friends when I'm not there. Woo hoo!

Last week on the way to work a large piece of wood flew off of a flatbed truck and landed in front of my car, where I had no choice but to run it over. It knocked off the grill and undercarriage of my car and killed the air conditioning. I filed an insurance claim and an now at their mercy. Yuck.
