about me

I'm a child welfare social worker, a book reader, a cameraphobe, a "creative person", a serious nerd and a longtime confirmed workaholic.

A few months ago a coworker said to me, "You know, [we have these cool jobs but] I'm really a boring guy. I work ten hours a day, four or five hours on Sunday, go home and then go back to work! The last three day weekend we had, I thought I was going to lose my mind, I had absolutely nothing to do." At the time I laughed and agreed, but the more I think about it the sadder that little truth about our lives made me.

This blog is my little attempt to grow by recording bits of my personal life (I'll try to leave out the yucky work stuff as much as possible) in hopes of fostering a better one.
