I have been aware of some changes that I wanted to make, but I didn&#8217;t anticipate everything. So, let&#8217;s start at the beginning, shall we?</p>
<p>After ten years of being a full-time employee at Company A, I&#8217;m moving to part-time hours to start a new full-time position at Company B. Company A will remain as close to full-time as I can stand between 9am and 3pm on most days, and Company B will be second shift. These hours are ambitious, but I hope to hold on tightly as long as I can. I&#8217;d like to see our bankroll build up a bit so we can relax when it is time to do so. Besides, I don&#8217;t have much more hair to lose.</p>
<p>After six years of being a student, father and spouse, I can knock something off my list! While being a father and a spouse won&#8217;t be changing, this week is the last week of being a student for a while. I&#8217;m considering going on to earn a Bachelors degree, but have made no formal plans. I am very burned out from school at the moment, so a break from it is needed. I am excited to finally get this done. This was not easy for me to do given my conditions and a tendency to procrastinate. More changes are coming in this area; stay tuned for details.</p>
<p>After eight years, this blog/journal has changed names from &#8220;The Bald Person&#8217;s Journal&#8221; to simply my name. Right now, I think this may change again, but I haven&#8217;t discovered what the name needs to be. I felt the time for previous name had long gone. However, I am still bald, I am a person and this is my journal. So, technically, the name still applies.</p>
<p>Lastly, after eight years of driving a VW New Beetle, and only three years in the latest one, it is time to move on to something different. I&#8217;m considering a <a title="Visit smart USA." href="http://www.smartusa.com/"><strong>Smart Fortwo</strong></a>. I really think the New Beetle is too big. ;)</p>
