November 2008—paying it forward
It’s probably been the most “interesting” year of my life (though there have been a few interesting ones before!), and starting a new job in a new company after pretty much working at one place in my “modern” era has been a real treat. The world changed right about the time I did…but if there’s one thing I’ve been pretty good at over the years it’s knowing how to survive. It may be my only skill as far as I can tell, I’m not much of a “right place at the right time” kind of guy but once I’m in place I seem to find a way to make it hard to get rid of me. We shall see, as the bigger world continues to be an interesting place, and I expect it will continue to get more difficult for a while.
I’ve been all consumed the last 7 weeks with getting up to speed quickly in my new day job. After a couple weeks I thought I had it figured out, but everything changed. A couple more weeks I though I had a handle on it again, and things changed again. I’ve been putting more hours in than I ever intended but I think I’m only as confused as everybody else now.
This weekend I actually made some time to work through a backing track I’ve been promising to the world for the last couple months, and even started to write a new song. I also gave some thought to the future of Gator-Studios.com. I started this business somewhat accidentally and it takes a lot of my time, but I have enjoyed the work, the results and the impact we’ve had across the globe over the last 3 years. So what’s the plan going forward?
