Job Searching

As my recent contract has ended, I’m currently seeking employment in the web design or desktop/client support field.

I’ve worked as a network administrator and a desktop support technician and everything in between. I’d like to work as a WordPress MU admin or design sites in WordPress. I can code too; I use Dreamweaver as my editor and design graphics with Photoshop.

My resume is available for those interested. And you can see a small portion of my web portfolio here.

Thanks

Musical Milestones

I bought my 13 year old son a guitar for Christmas, it’s a butterscotch blonde Fender Affinity Telecaster. He loves it and so do I. I give him as many tips and tricks as I can and encourage him to discover more on his own. Every time I hear him play, he gets better.

I played drums with some old band mates awhile back and had my drums set up in the cafe area of the condo with silence pads on them. I decided once when he was over to have an impromptu jam session with him. We decided to play a Brendan Benson song we had learned a few weeks previous. Once we kicked in, I was afraid he might get lost in the tempo or not know how to play with a drummer.

They graduate college, get married, buy a house, have kids, and mow the lawn. And for most, that’s fine and an admirable trait, I suppose.

Musical Guilty Pleasures

I like alot of different kinds of music, and from nearly every genre. However, there are some artists I listen to and really like for a variety of reasons, but they are very popular with *ahem* “certain segments of society” or just very popular in general, so I don’t readily like to admit to liking them. I will admit
