Not sure if you’re religious, but tomorrow starts the Lenten season. 6 weeks is a good time to try.

It’s funny you mention Lent because that’s usually the period I use to cut back on some the excesses in my life. This time will be no different. If anything, it will be more intense.

If I can really run a tight ship from now till at least the end of May, I should be in a good spot.

Had 2 phone interviews today. Honestly, I don’t think I want either of these jobs.

There’s some things going on at the first company that might make it interesting though.

The second job though? It’s through a 3rd party recruiter on LinkedIn. The role seemed like a generic IT job and I’d be required to go into the office sometimes. And when I told her what I wanted for annual salary, she asked me how much it would be hourly.

This recruiter called and ran a role past me yesterday, but it's not officially released yet. She's done that before and I never heard back from the skeezer again so I'm not excited, yet still hopeful.

Federal deposit set to hit on Monday. Perfect timing! I can cop this Qlik business tool and begin working on some ideas I have. That free trial shyt is a pain in the ass.

I found a good article on when to quit your day job for your side business:


It resonated with me since I have had a side business (food manufacturing) for over 5 years and it has gotten a lot of new accounts during COVID. I am burning it on both ends literally going to bed between 12-2 every day balancing day job and the side biz. Honestly if I didn't have family I would have already quit but you got to make sure the money is right when you got kids.

I'm liking the new numbers hitting my bank account. A little less than I calculated but still a decent jump. Let's see if HR lives up to its word and gives me a bump up to this position's minimum now.

I put this together a couple years back as a real basic way to start tracking:
