So its that time again, 11 days from now and I’ll be 39. It seems that this time a year for the past several years I can’t help but see where I’m at and where I want to be, and how far apart those seem to always be. I’ve given up comparing myself to my Father, in many aspects I’ll never be able to compete there, for instance by the time my Father was 39, I was already 15, and I currently have no one in my life that could be seen as a remote possibility of having kids with.

So here is what I am hoping for. On the totally outlandish scale, I’d like to make at least part-time money from writing by the time I hit the big 4-0. At the more reasonable level I hope to have at least one book (novel or novella) out in e-book. To this end, I have already purchased Chris A Moody.com which is a total replacement for my former: http://fiction.chrismoody.net.

Beyond that I don’t really have much.

Yes that’s right folks! After my long vacation (which started on June 13th) is almost finally over! On February 9th, I’ll begin a training course at HostGator. I have the feeling that this position will suit me much better than DreamHost did. 

At Dreamhost  their biggest problem (as a former employee anyways) is expecting everyone to be everything. While they have been extremely fortunate in finding a great number of employees who were able to pick up everything that was needed (or knew most of it before they started).

At HostGator, they more traditional roles for Level 1, Level 2 etc. support. So I hope that this will make working for them much easier than it was working for Dreamhost.
