I had forgotten how hard it is to be 110% into what you're doing and what your job conflicts with your life outside. I started my new job on the 22nd and I've already had to turn down more recruiters than I had to deal with in months. The last one broke my heart... I had never been offered a Docbook related engagement and I got one yesterday. Crap is the only thing that comes to mind right now... That and my cussing the timing gods for how they laugh at me.

Beyond the consulting issue things have been going surprisingly well. It hasn't been the monster transition that I was afraid of... It hasn't been easy but it hasn't been terribly difficult. I think working with Scott and the DLT team set me up for success in this adventure.

It'll be interesting to see how things evolve moving forward.
