I'm in need of some advice here...

As you probably know, I am starting a new job this upcoming Tuesday. My current employer has finally selected someone to try and step in where I leave off, but she already is showing signs of weakness. She was supposed to be here today so we could go over the system and work flow process we use here but she had something to do. She had something to do? I came here after being at the hospital last night since 2 A.M. with my pregnant fiance (more contractions, but we're still not quite there) and she doesn't show up because she has something to do? Horse shit.

It only gets better! I agreed to come in tomorrow at 8 A.M. to go over the system and such with her. Obviously when my boss asked me if I could make it in for a few hours I could have said no...But being the nice guy I thought I'd at least give them a fighting chance. If she doesn't show up I will be sure that she doesn't get the job.

All that nonsense aside, I really do need some advice. The situation is that a bunch of the clients we work with her are now finding out I am leaving and they all ask me, "So where are you going to work?". Two of them have even made efforts to contact my soon to be employer, in hopes of taking their business where I go. This brings up a little ethical problem. Should I give out the name of my soon to be employer to the clients of the company I currently work for, knowing that they will most likely follow me?

Well I did, and as of right now I really don't care...We are going to have a little girl soon!

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
