Catching up!
I might move the blog over so it matches my current Google account, but maybe not. There are only a couple people reading this anyway.
Slowly getting ready for Christmas. Have to buy a couple of gifts. Really looking forward to the time off, although I believe I'll be spending most of it reading about Oracle trying to learn as much as possible for work.
With being busier at work and learning new things, I'm trying to limit my distractions. I have recently deleted lots of my RSS feeds because it's a big time waster. I have also seriously limited my internet time while at work. It's so easy to get lost in browsing and Wikipedia that, before you know it, an hour has passed.
Concurrent with using my time more wisely I have tried to think of a worthwhile resolution for the New Year. This blog entry entitled "7 Highly Effective Resolutions for the New Year" is useful, in my opinion. In particular, I would like to spend more time with family (and friends) and develop a new hobby. I do enjoy reading, and I really want to spend more time reading books rather than spending time in front of the computer just surfing aimlessly. As far as the hobby goes, I'm not sure what it will be, but I will do a bit of research and think about it more.
I have also toyed with the idea of no more instant messaging. It is another distraction and time-waster. I do enjoy talking with some of my coworkers, so I might try to pare down my list and that way, when I do chat, it's worthwhile.
