3 New Tracks, 0 New Websites

I have managed to complete three of the 5 pertinent new songs from this and last month. Unfortunately, I haven't taken the time to get the new website up on the new host ;)

I suppose I should start getting that taken care of while I'm wrapping up 2 more songs and getting the dust off of City Shadows vol.1 and posted on iTunes.

Other aspects of my life are continuing to do well. I've been going to the gym 3 times a week for a few months now and I have to say that I feel *awesome*. Not only am I in better shape and my (already high) endurance is heightened, I'm seeing results from eating well (not dieting) and exercising regularly.. it's great!

Work is going well. All-be-it stressful from the high work load and short staffing and some of the unrealistic expectations placed upon us from the business-- the company put their money where there mouth is.. well.. I guess I should say they put there money where *MY* mouth is and gave me the mid-year equity adjustment I asked for. In the 2.5 years I have been here I have seen a substantial increase in my salary... something I didn't expect to see when I first started working in the IT industry. Putting in the hard work really is rewarding, go figure!

I have opportunities along different avanues now-- we'll see what happens with it all. I apologize for being so vague but I absolutely cannot give details within my blog ^_^ Any of you tech-savvy folk know exactly what I am talking about.

It is good to hear that things are going well for you! I, on the other hand, am still struggling at getting any sort of pay increment. I have taken on many new roles at my job, at no pay raise. So, it is hard to work harder, for the same low amount that i was already getting paid. I have also gotten to see two bonus checks pass by me, because my employment started at the very beginning of a quarter, so i was not included in the first two quarterly bonus checks. Another one is coming up, I should be included as long as the company has made profit. Good times! :)

Oh, but my photography has been taking off, but my girlfriend doesn't like me spending so much money on photography gear. She will learn that it is useful eventually...
