Typical spring weather here. Blindingly bright sun for 10 minutes, downpour for 10 minutes, fog, rinse repeat. Cold enough that I may need to start the wood-stove after lunch.

Trails are goop...Definitely riding figure eights in the shop tonight.

Well, I got a raise and a bonus this year. While the raise is not as much as I would have liked / feel like I deserve, it is more than what the company has historically done. And apparently the company has never given a bonus, so that's interesting. Anyways, despite a lower than hoped for salary increase, I am still quite happy in my role and I am still being compensated at the upper end of the range for my given profession and experience. I also got a title change to "Senior UX Designer" from just "UX Designer" so that's fun.

I knew of the son. With the grandson. There is a daughter, too? Ah, the one who used to like riding ATVs?

Correct. Quad pics from 8 years ago were yesterday.

I actually have 3 total. My oldest isn't technically mine, but I raised him and claim him as my own. He also happens to be the only one currently speaking to me, so there is that. :rofl:

On a positive note, CO generates arguably some of the fastest drivers in the country. So if you can find funding, you can usually make it forward.

RM blows my mind sometimes. I will need to loop back to you on the 15th. That will be after the CBS interview, her first real race in her new class, and the K1 National/World Championships. She'll potentially have a real "portfolio" together. That will give a better foundation for questions about driver development, because successful/competitive is very different than Billy at the end of the block. Also time for me to think about it, because that's somebody who ran the whole path. I need to think of questions ahead of time.

heading home from TX. I've been home 10 hours in the past 12 days. I need a break. Skiing this weekend.

Confirmed kidwoo is alive! Praise the FSM. He's been busy, but loves almost all of us very very much. :D

Off to find the best damn airport food this place has to offer.

Kidwoo loves us? Are you the PR person for the British Royal Family too?

Has been a busy couple days. Tis the season.
Was invited to a "local makers" art show thingy and some fancy ass old barn reception place. Haven't decided if I am going to go or not. But why not go show off my glistening wood. . .

Well, didn't get the Private Client Services job. They were concerned about my Financial Planning knowledge/experience in their most common spheres. They want me for their Wealth Management team though, so I'm now interviewing for that team. It's damn near a lateral move, which is not anywhere on my goals list.

Now talking with my boss about some realistic paths still within our silo. It caused a big stir up food chain that I was suddenly on the 'leaving' list. Hopefully it was enough to get the right people to say "oh shit" and start reassessing, which it sounds like it was - especially given I've hit my eoy sales goals on the two most important metrics (profit generation based) before end of Q1. My FTS is pretty high today now though.
