I guess some background is in order here for those not familiar with the whole goings-on. Prior to the end of March, I was working for one of the big 3 consulting firms as a business intelligence and software-as-a-service consultant. As we all know, the economy sucks and my firm decided that I'd be better off unemployed so on St. Patrick's Day, they called me in and game me my two weeks notice. After months of fruitless job searching and being bored out of my skull, I've decided to pack it in and head to Roatan to wait out the recession and earn my divemaster and instructor certifications.
After talking to the parental units and ensuring that there were no aneurysms, I'm off to Roatan for my divemaster internship at Native Sons dive shop. I have to admit I was rather taken aback at my dad's acceptance of the idea. I figured my mom would be all for it and my dad wouldn't be thrilled in the least but lo and behold, he's more supportive of the idea than she is. Weird.
Anyways, I'm still working to figure out exact dates but it's looking to be mid-August at this point. After a few more phone calls this evening and tomorrow I should be booking my flight and will update on exact dates. Until then.
About Me
- Matt
- 34(ish) year old former snowboard bum/chef/DJ turned tech consultant (don't ask, long story). I've finally decided to start getting serious about my training and figured I'd document it here for all the world to see. Fair notice: my writing skills are the equivalent of a 4 year old with severe ADD chewing on an economy-size Pixy Stik.
