Update on Asia and New Books!

After my groundbreaking (for me at least) decisions that prompted the last post, I informed a few close, and very trusted people to see what they thought of it all. Overall, the response was encouraging and positive. I felt extremely relieved by the feedback I heard. Obviously there was some concern that if I chose to do something like this, that it's for the right reason. I truly think it is.

My Asian Ambitions

In the past week, I had a revelation of sorts. I started to think about what in the world I would do if the unthinkable occurred and I lost my job at Oracle. I guess this is a somewhat understandable train of thought considering the state of today's economy, but it isn't anything I'd invested much thought in before. I have long had good relationships with my colleagues and in particular my direct manager. So, I'd never really given the idea much consideration.
