It's been pretty slow at work this month. That's mainly because I've moved off of the project I had been working on for almost 5 years because the client wanted to reduce support staff as the entire project is winding down (sometime next year). So I rolled off the project and onto a new almost-ready project. It's the "almost-ready" part that's the problem. I really can't/don't have any work for the new project until the agreement is signed, so I'm preparing as much as I can. That does not fill my days, though.
The "awkward" part is that although I am going to be on the new project, most of my co-workers do not know if they will be or not. This is because the new project has not officially started yet and the current project is still ongoing and so still needs support people. I feel like I can't be too excited about the new project (although I am), since most everyone around me does not have their future position secured.
Forgive me for being so vague about the old and new project. I guess the recent news about a Microsoft contractor getting fired for what he put on his private blog has me nervous to mention the clients' names.
At least while it's been slow, I've had some time to select my benefits options for next year and tweak my picture search page. Once of my favorite tweaks is that whenever a picture of the twins is selected, their age at the time of the picture will be computed! It's neat to be able to see that Amanda first stood up when she was 6 months and 8 days old. Cool!
