Pointless Announcements

I do too, it's wonderful the energy... (the smell)
I can't tell you how bored I was by San Diego, same damn thing every day. (70-75 degrees, clear by noon, no clouds) Like time didn't move.
When I came back to the East Coast. I was actually excited by "puffy" clouds and rain.

Give me action! (well, action while I'm safe...let's not go overboard)

 

I keep forgetting it's Saturday.

 

Mine was $102 and change.



In other news, I think I shall take a nap.

 

just pondering my work history and goals...

hmm...I've worked with Gigabyte, Tera-byte and Peta-byte level environs and databases.
I guess my next goal would be Exabyte. (Link - to show scale)

Interesting and would look good on a resume, but not really my overall focus or fate.
I'm way more interested in functional analysis or data analysis. If I do the above, it would be simply by circumstance.
And for a career arc, it's likely I'll be pushing for leadership roles instead...if I stay in IT.
and I do that, I'll try to get more into CTO or CIO levels, with higher & higher capacity entities.

I'd like to get my Masters in Data Science, my PhD in Physics.
The Masters used for my "day job", the PhD used for my own side-work in Physics.
Although, I could use them in combination, with a gig as a Data Scientist, doing scientific data analysis.
Or pushing the physical/physics thresholds of DBs and the handling/manipulation of large volumes of data. (see VLDB.org)

Or I could retire from IT, and become a fully employed Physicist. (but I don't know if I'd like that, they may not get paid as much...I hate grant hustling)
Or I could not focus on either...and push my own business and grow that. Leveraging my inventions.

Or I as fate would have it (and will), I could just stay in one job...or bounce from one to another, staying at the same level.
And come home exhausted, veggin' in front of the TV and spending time with the family. (if I'm lucky enough to get one)

Tell you the truth, strangely enough I've succeeded despite myself.
It was never a goal to be what I am, it just flowed that way. Climbing by survival & circumstance. (what's doable?)
Maybe that's my fate...wandering here & there, helping out and investing at the time, because there's a need (and I get paid for it)
And slowly (or quickly) gaining level just because I happened to over time...and I'm audacious enough to say, sure why not. (I need a job)
Like Bruce Banner, but not as a raging Hulk...but as his alter ego.
Hate to say it, that's what is more likely to happen...I've never been one for goals and discipline, I just do it.

Anyways...no announcement...just something I should have put in a blog. But I don't do those.
And as usual, talked too much as my mind wandered.
