Where have I been?
10 Nov
A reporter once joked to me at a party that he could always tell when I was about to ship something as my blog would go without a new post for weeks and then “pow” out would come a new hire to my team, a new web site like Channel 9, 10 or www.MicrosoftGadgets.com. I do tend to go totally heads down on projects and then come up for air often in a very tired state. You know I talk a good talk about the 5 F’s on my blog, but man I can honestly say that I don’t always suceed in nailing them with the appropriate balance.
In fact there should not be just 5 F’s, you there are actually 6. The first 5 are:
1. Faith
2. Family
3. Finance
4. Fitness
5. Philtantropy
And important one that I completely miss, is 6. Fun!
Anyhow one goal that I am trying to achieve this year is striking the balance between being sucessful at work and at home. Its not always easy and sometimes I fail, but I am trying. 
This week has been especially hard as got completely taken out with the flu and now it has spread to my family. Blech.
So what do you do to strike the balance at work, at home and in fun? Enough work now, off to play Age of Empires III. Would you believe I bought it back in August at the company store and am just removing the shrink wrap tonight?
