Last Friday I ended my employment with ICM. I first got the job because I thought it would be a good opportunity to gain some computer literacy, then I would move on. I originally intended to stay for 1 year max. 12 years later I’m finally out. And I’m a wee bit better than computer literate.

So now I am full time self employed and loving it. Maybe now I can actually get some work done in a timely manner. Before it was very difficult to come home after a 10 hour day at my day job and spend another 4 – 6 hours printing t-shirts or working on a website. I just couldn’t get motivated. Now I work all day and most of the evening and it doesn’t really feel like work. Well, it doesn’t when things are going well at least. Jessica seems to think I work for her now. Let’s not tell her truth OK?

So now I need to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Or at least what to do with this website. When I started this blog I purposefully set it up so ricklord.com redirects to ricklord.com/personal just in case I wanted to do something else with the website. So I’m thinking about setting it up to be more focused toward offering my database application services. I will leave this blog up where it is for friends and family, and continue with the infrequent updates, but it won’t be linked from the main page of the site.

Wish me luck. I’m going to need it.
