I returned to corporate after eight years of small business and start ups. Big upside was that I knew what I was getting into in terms of corporate rah-rah culture and also how to play the game to move up the ladder faster this time.

It has been three years and frankly I do not miss the Wild West feeling of small business. I like knowing the business I work for isn’t going to fold up due to market fluctuations. I do miss the open ended opportunities of making big changes in a small company though.

Working in a small company meant I took on many more roles and responsibilities which was good for my resume. On the other hand, in a corporation I am focused in one place and have enough free time to work on my automation projects. Plus, I make twice as much money.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t love my job and I don’t love to work. I would quit immediately if I could. I just happen to like the sense of security better. The main thing I gave up was being able to always wfh, now I have to see the office every other week.

You monster! Is it a new phone?

This is my philosophy. I credit George Carlin for summarizing it with “People who see life as anything more than pure entertainment are missing the point.”

My cat will beg for a little taste of refried beans when I have them.

Si mon!

I love frijoles negros 🖤

Astropical - Bomba Estéreo + Rawayana. Every song on the album is good and will make you wish you were on a beach.

Broke up with a really cute, fun person because they didn’t take care of themselves and I couldn’t see that going well in the future. They died of a stroke a couple years later.

Four. Sign language, Mandarin + Mandarin hand signs, Spanish, English - and yes, I do use the other languages to entertain myself.
