This post summarizes my job transitions from 2004 ’til now. A future post will summarize the rest of my life, marriage, and future outlook, then I’ll be done mesmerizing you with my boring lil’ ol’ life story.
When I left off in Part 7, I had resigned from a job I thought would be the last of my working career when a massive reorganization and appointment of an incompetent boss became more than I was willing to suck up and try again to “make it happen.”

Last week here in the ‘burbs of DC, it was still summer hot and humid. I got my Harley back — finally had an electrical ghost fixed, and rode it to work on Friday on a pleasantly sunny and warm day. In fact, Friday my boss and I…

Over the last three blog posts, I have been describing my life story in my younger years. So far, I graduated college with two undergraduate degrees, had a temporary job, and bought a real “fixer-upper” house. Now what?

This is the second post in a series of documenting and telling my life story. In my most recent post, I described the first half of my college life through living in Europe and studying abroad for a year. What happened when I returned?
