What I'm Doing

I thought I would give a quick update on life. Since I'm a consultant I'm working at a client site. They are one of the largest oil companies in the world. This is a local role, working in downtown Houston at the Continental Airlines building. The nice thing about this role is NO travel. Usually most consulting roles require travel, but lately some clients will let you work remotely. The nice thing about consulting is you always have new projects with different people in different places. I'm never stuck with the same managers or team mates.

What I'm doing there: We are currently implementing a new trading system. I am one the project leads, I manage teams offshore who are working to go live with this system sometime next year. I also attend a lot of meetings and provide updates to the client.

On my free time I'm trying to make a better me. I would like to lose a few pounds so I've started running 3 times a week. I've cut back on my social smoking and drinking. The wife and I are also trying to have a baby before we get too old. I'm hoping we conceive in the next few moths.

I also have a new goal. I will not buy anything unless I truly need it. No more Apple products, no more computer parts. No video games or new clothes. I'm not buying anymore crap.

Well this is what I'm doing, does anyone have anything more exciting going on?
