Howdy all,

It has been a while and I have been very quiet on the boards this year due to life and events. I am going to try and change that for 2023, well at least try to go back to being more regular on the BBS scene. ;-)

This brings me to someone else that I wanted to let those who have been wondering and asking me about, Black Panther. He too has been busy, I reached out to him tonight on his Bat Phone and he did reply back stating he has been busy with not much free time and he is hoping the new year will bring him more hours. I'm glad he replied otherwise showing up at his front door knocking and saying "DUDE WHERE ARE YOU" was going to happen tomorrow. haha

I just wanted to share his current status to those that have been wondering.

Happy New Year to all!

Thanks for the update. We had a resuffle at work where a couple of people
have left for better pastures. That is eating up my free time on week days
but at least (knock-on-wood!) so far I get most of my weekend time still. :)

With each year a bit more wisdom sinks in with me. With that said one thing
I have learned a while ago is those "better pastures" are not all that a lot
of the time once your in them. ;-) hehe

I am trying to get my weekends back in 2023 by reminding my client I too need to have a life. Will see.

Well, in these cases, they are at least "greener" in the sense that they
are making more money and they get to work from remote, two things they'd likely not get if they stayed. :)

But I know what you mean. I am at the point in my career where the other pasture would have to be VERY GREEN for me to leave. I anticipate that my
next move will be retirement.

Hope that works out. Users, clients, etc., can be demanding, especially if
you do a good job.

Funny thing, today about about 3pm (mst) over here, a long time client did
call in a frenzy that she just got back into town and no wifi for her office (ran out of her house) and her tv. She figured I was just watching a game on New Years day so I would answer. She was right I answered as that is just me and loyalty between client and me is worth a lot to me, but no game just spending the day taking down exterior lights & decorations. So I guess im
not off to a great start in 2023 in the plan of freeing up weekends. hehe

If you charged frenzy/holiday (high) rates, you will be fine!

I had a similar call from a friend/client who needed a
technical resolution on New Year's Eve.

This is something that I also need to work on this year. Things would be much easier if just had the twins.

I was contemplating changing my mailing address to my store in Albuquerque, as I spend more time there than at home... :)

Happy New Year to all!

Happy New Year to you as well.

It really is. And, the police will actually respond if you call them. ;)

Oh, I'm around a bit longer than that. I spent a portion of yesterday working on some back end stuff. Both for CRBBS and for Hub 4.
