The Quest Goes On

As in any blog there is a therapeutic catharsis in the process of putting your thoughts into words. Sitting at a keyboard and placing phrases in appropriate structure takes time and allows for introspection. But in the long run there is a haunting, almost minuscule little voice that cries from deep down inside that is constantly asking, "Does anyone actually read this stuff?".
But I digress. Well after being in an holding pattern for seemingly forever, I received an offer of employment. I know to all you rabid readers of "Quest of Meaningfulness", this sounds like good news. But I have trepidations and doubt. Any time you have to step out of your little bird nest, all comfortable with the trappings of life, there is self doubt. Doubt of the ability to do the job. Doubt of the in-kids will accept the new kid with his shinny new lunch box and his inability to find the bathroom.
The position is project management of a small project downtown Sacramento for the State of California. It seems there was a federal court case that mandated better health care for the prisoners within the state corrections facilities. It seems the state prison health care system was not as good as some would like. One small part of the mitigation and improvement is the creation of a state wide database to collect and store all prison health care records. My small project is to provide project management for the establishment of a business continuity system. This system would provide for both the long term viability of the data but also provide high availability to the data from all the required sites.
Well you can get happy for me now. It is almost overwhelming go and start anew. But it is a part of that one thing, the quest for meaningfulness.
