Critter’s Krib

(via @Kavka)

I should have been better about posting during my last round of P90X. This go round, I shall do better. Swear.

Meghann and I just began our second round. We chose to take a week off after our first round of P90X and then hit P90X Plus. Yesterday was our first day, and it kicked our asses. We decided to do the Lean Plus routine. Yesterday began with the Total Body Plus workout. It is what it says. Total Body! Holy crap… I was dragging. There is an exercise in the routine called 3×3, where you do squat, pushup, pullup for about two minutes. Sure.. it sounds easy..

Anyway… I’ll keep you posted.

Well, the recent turn of events in my life were pretty much unexpected. In fact just a couple of weeks ago during an ‘all hands on’ meeting we were assured (after the first 3 layoffs) that there would be no additional cuts to the company. Amazing what can transpire in just a couple of weeks.

I am having a bit of difficulty figuring out exactly what path I want to take with my career now. I have thoughts of going out on my own as a consultant, but that is almost best done if I have built up a bit of a bank. In addition to having a bit of savings to live off of, should work not pour in, I am not sure how the courts measure your income for child support.

It has to be tough enough wondering where your next job (meal) is coming from, but what if I am gauged at XXX amount, and I only bring in XX. Am I still responsible for child support based on XXX? Does that make sense? It does in my head *shrug*

I am definitely not putting all my eggs in the consultant basket. I will take whatever comes along. We’ll see…

And now, onto the good news! This is the last week of P90X. I am happy to have made it this far. And I am very pleased with my results. Meghann and I will be taking a week off and then we plan on starting the P90X Plus. It’s funny to have grown to love a workout that you hate so much!

I never got around to cutting and posting my 60 day pictures. Perhaps I’ll get them sorted and up the same time we do our 90 day pictures.

Like I said (and you can see by the picture below), I have had good results.. we both have. But we want more! Neither one of us watched our diet as closely as we could have, but we plan on keeping to it as strictly as possible for our next go round.

I want a single digit body fat percentage! oh… and I will have it

So, Friday sucked. It was on my way to an appointment with my lawyer when my phone rang. It was my boss. Hmmm I remembered an email he had sent around earlier that morning saying that there would be a big meeting for the San Fransico. At first I thought they wanted me to be in on that meeting, then it hit me.

All before I answered the phone.

I knew. I was about to be let go. My boss never calls. The call lasted 6 minutes. I was right.

When I was let go by First American in March this year, I had done a video on Seesmic saying that I was just made redundant and if anyone needed a developer… I was your man. Seesmic hired me two days later. That Skype call lasted 22 minutes.

I don’t believe I will be doing a video this time.

Here is a link to it on TechCrunch. The comments make for an interesting read.

Got work?

And when I say that… oh do I mean it.. Looking at some of the older school pictures of myself, all I can do is shake my head.

My senior picture looks like a young teen 70’s porn pic.. complete with creepy fledgling mustache.

And looking back at some of the older pictures, I am pretty sure I used to get beaten up in school and had my lunch money taken from me. I believe those memories have been repressed.
