Goodbye, Hello Kitty

personal

• lost my job at Rivera Group on Tuesday
  • shocked, confused, sad, not really sure what happened, may never know
  • the cited reasons were either approved by management weeks prior or half-baked at best
  • unfortunate timing, would have gained $5000 in my 401K only days later
  • wish people would’ve just talked about it so that it didn’t have to end like this
  • would have liked to say goodbye to my friends and peers, I wish them nothing but the best
  • moving on, had a lot of offers in the meantime, so that is promising at least
  • working on my resume, site, and projects
  • interesting things on the west coast, the San Francisco Bay area
• birthday party for my daughter this week
  • Hello Kitty themed, which is much older than I realized
  • squirt guns, sprinkler, yard toys, tons of kids
  • full house, friends, family
  • had a great time, thanks to everyone

projects

• resume
  • published to GitHub late today
  • used html-pdf and roaster for the conversions
  • used gulp for builds and deploys
  • added a button to the blog so that people can find it more easily
  • ran into a minor issue with my install of the Go Git Service, will have to resolve soon
