long story... which i won't go into, but there are very few if any jokes about architects (this is not to say there is not architect humor). not like you find with doctors and lawyers. in response to that i keep an ear out for architect jokes.

today i heard a great one:

"They say if GOD were an architect he would have taken six days off and then pulled and all-nighter."

we are on an internet hiatus in our house. and i promise that is not code for breaking up.

with the move coming up we decided that it would be easier to get the cable bill gone than move and get settled again. on a practical note it is very strange to not have the opportunity to just look up wikipedia or mapquest or a telephone number. unnerving would be the best way to describe it. but in the unnerving, i am finding that i have the ability to be more productive. i have been able to get a couple small projects out of the way that had been languishing in the dark corners of the office.

sadly the whole no internet movement means i haven't gotten to read my lovely wife's blog in several days. i miss that.

anyway, to the point, now. tomorrow is my 31st birthday, technically the changeover from my 20's to my 30's. it is not hitting me too hard, but it is on my mind. i am doing a little mental arithmetic about my life in reference to where i am and where i am going. my family is by a fluke in the place i expected, my career is not. eh... .500 is respectable.

it has been a big couple weeks in the defining of life. one of the last posts talked about a new house we were hoping to get that would be a better home. and we did get it. now the pack and sort portion is upon us. last monday i took what could be the last of my professional exams for awhile. i feel good about it, but the fact that i failed it previously undercuts my confidence. and then i was supposed to have an interview today for a job i covet. unfortunately it was rescheduled for monday, leaving me with a full head of steam and no tracks.

with all our ducks in the air, hehe, we will be the family of chaos for the rest of may. i fully expect june to be a month of respite and deep breath.
