I had my boss with me all day today. I've had increased scrutiny of late, a lot of eyes watching my performance. What I do for a living is very analogous to being a pro-athlete. The compensation can be great, when you are performing. I have been a strong, to VERY strong performer for the last 5+ years, but this year has been rough. I'm running at the middle of the pack and when you go from Michael Jordan to Michael .... Well, I don't know another Michael that plays basketball with lesser stats... but that guy, in the span of a year, they take notice.

I need to focus my time and energy moving forward for the sake of my family.

Most of you have jobs where someone is over your shoulder all the time making sure you're getting it done. I don't. It's enough rope to hang yourself with. I'll be on Hubski much less during 9-5 moving forward. Don't do or post anything cool till 6pm, okay?
