Memorial Day weekend update

Well survived the weekend even though I worked for most of it. I did manage to get the desktop reformated/reinstalled after having the same windows install on it for 2 years. Now i just need to do the laptop next.

 I started working on a new design for the site, I know i been saying it for awhile but now i am actually coding some stuff up and digging into wordpress theme hacking. Hopefully if time permits i will have something up soon.

The job hunt continues, I had an interview with one company so far out of the all the resumes i sent out. The work is interesting however their starting pay is not so great. I would be basically taking a $7k paycut atleast by going there. I still have to do a second interview and if they do end up offering me, i will be turning it down unless they can work something out with regards to salary. I really hope i get some more hits soon, seems like i blasted my resume out to a ton of places and really havent heard anything yet. I am trying to keep a positive attitude about it, but its rough.

well back to work

this is getting annoying

I am really starting to hate going to a site and getting a message to use firefox instead of IE. Normally I would be using firefox, but when i am stuck at work and unable to run firefox even off a pen drive, well it gets really old fast.

Revelations

I had a bit of a revelation last night..an epiphany you might say. I sit here and constantly think to myself why I haven’t had my shot yet (with regards to career). I see my peers doing much better then I am and here I am stuck never satisfied in what I am doing. I was unhappy at ClientLogic, I was unhappy at Prosodie and now here I am..six plus months in at my current employer and I am unhappy again. Each time for different reasons, I realize that a job can’t be perfect and that sometimes you have to just grin and bear it. But it is really tough seeing your friends doing better then you and knowing that you can be at that level as well but yet stuck dealing with…well…with what I deal with on a daily basis.

Well the revelation I had was that the problem is I have a fear of failure. I have a fear that if I try and move on to the next step I will not have enough experience and skills to do the job. I really need to work on this or I am going to be stuck in the circle of hell that I am in.

So anyone have any good ideas on how to beat this?
