Sorry for slacking off on the updates, but work has had me so exhausted that I don't even want to look at a computer. They tell me I'm doing just fine, but I feel ... http://newriffs.com/2008/08/25/back-on-track/ Well, my first day on the job at Muth Electric went 'ok'.... somewhat daunting really. It reminded me a lot of my first night at Dakota Pork, where the information was simply overwhelming. If I step back from the processes and view it as a whole, a lot of it ... http://newriffs.com/2008/08/11/work/ Two words... KICK ASS!!!!!! I'm still a bit tired as I write this, so the guys might have add anything I missed. Sorry for no pictures, but I just didn't feel like running around playing Photographer. The road out there was a bit rougher than expected, but I think our hunger for a ... http://newriffs.com/2008/08/06/sturgis-2008/ Over the past week I've had plenty of time to dissect my current position in life, my family that relies on me, and personal happiness.

Becoming a working stiff just means facing ... http://newriffs.com/2008/07/27/crossroads/ For the first time in my life, I've been fired.

Today, my boss came in all pissed off about the raise I asked for a month ago, and it looks like i'm being asked (politely) to find work elsewhere, because he feels that his company ... http://newriffs.com/2008/07/15/fucked-again-part-deux/ It's been a busy couple of weeks, mostly with work, but a few updates none the less.... 1) Congratulations to Summer on the birth of her baby boy, Freedom Reign. How come I couldn't have boys? Must be some bad karma floating around out there somewhere. 2) The boss still isn't talking ... http://newriffs.com/2008/07/03/catching-up/ We're back, and I finally got the time to post some pictures of our vacation out in the Black Hills. This year, we kept it light - No pre-scheduled appointments, itinararies, or pretty much anything written down to do besides a few notes on a couple points of interest. We ... http://newriffs.com/2008/06/24/vacation-2008/ I just thought I'd update everyone on some minor BS before I head out. I got vacation this week, and god willing, we'll be heading out to the hills for some camping. Mark, you'll have to call Erin's cell some time... or I'll give ya a call. Though, I'm pretty sure ... http://newriffs.com/2008/06/16/before-i-go/ Sure, why not? Lot of things changing this year, on several levels, and since the other blog was infected with some sort of plague, I thought it'd be a good idea to dump the old site and start over.... wasn't really saving anything important there anyways. So be patient with me, ... http://newriffs.com/2008/06/11/new-start/
