You see, earlier this week, everyone was asking me “How’s the baby doing? You getting any sleep?” and I felt obliged to make some comment about how his feeding schedule meshed with my need for rest. But Johanna doesn’t like me saying anything, because the truth of the matter is that so far, he hasn’t caused me to lose much.

Glen is really pretty mellow, and Johanna doesn’t want a bottle lear his mouth for fear he will stop nursing altogether. So my job consists of nudging her when I hear him cry (she is wearing ear plugs because of my snoring), and getting a diaper from the closet for her. I lose a total of 5 minutes of sleep whenever he wakes up, which isn’t anything at all.

Some of you out there will undoubtedly cry “foul” when you read this, saying I should do more to help out. And I would LOVE to do more. But nursing is out of the question. Occasionally Johanna does let me change the diaper, but this is just the way things have worked out so far.

So no more asking if I am losing sleep. The answer is “Yes, some, but not enough to fuss over.” I am sure that the simple act of writing that statement will call down the wrath of Murphy’s Law, and the road will get rocky from here. But I won’t make a peep…Johanna won’t have me complaining at all…if anyone gets to, it’s her.

Well, the interview went well, but at the time the higher-ups in the company didn’t want to invest in the position that I was interviewing for. I kept in contact with him through late January, but nothing was happening, and for the most part assumed that nothing would.

Now, today, there was another email from ‘em. And yes, I have a new job. The pay is the same as what I was making with ClearLink in December, but the benefits are much better IMHO, and the environment is a refreshing change.  Not only that, but I will be starting up the web development department for them, since I am their first full-time web developer!

More to come on this, but I am excited to say the least!
