Go-To Guy... No More.

I've learned my lesson about being the smart know it all at work. While it is in my nature to know how to do everything, I resist being the helpful guy that fixes stupid computer problems. There's this other guy here that already kinda plays that role w/ computers, and we have an office manager/receptionist that thus far seems capable and speaks english.

The positive spin... i get fewer interruptions, and can be more productive at what I'm supposed to do. Who would've thought its smart to play dumb.

WARNING - The RayArea Has Moved

The infamous RayArea has moved from the Bay Area to toasty desert oasis known as Phoenix.

This new iteration of RayArea, with the first post in nearly 2 years, will attempt to be slightly more upbeat and look at the positive side of things. Instead of only ranting about the usual injustices that life presents, I'll be making an attempt to put a positive spin on these. There's enough negative energy in the world.

So onto the happenings of life. I started a new job. A 9-mile, 15-20 minute surface street commute. Which is far better than my old 32 mile, 40 minute commute in the Bay. I'm heading up and creating the marketing department. There was not a marketing department previously, and I was hired on to help guide them through their growth stage. Oh, what do they do? Its a commercial appraisal company. But no, I don't do the actual appraisals.

So welcome to the new and hopefully improved RayArea. Enjoy your stay.
