La Bene Vita
I am a professional musician  Open in new Window., worship leader  Open in new Window., small business owner  Open in new Window., songwriter  Open in new Window., aspiring author  Open in new Window. and freelance nonfiction writer  Open in new Window. with a chemical engineering degree  Open in new Window..

But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Resign from Abbott by 4/4/10.
*Writing* 43 days and counting! But... my first shift counterpart is interviewing internally, and if he gets the job, he'll be leaving at the exact same time as I'm leaving, which will really put my manager in an experience crunch. I may have delicately suggested to my boss that I *might* be willing to stick around a little longer - no later than Shutdown (second week in June) - if we could work out an arrangement on my hours such that I could meet all my other music-related commitments. Which would probably involve dropping to part-time. The extra funds in my savings account would be nice, not to mention the extension on my benefits, and if I can meet my other commitments, have my evenings free for gigs and lessons while still making my Potbelly commitments at lunch, why not?

He probably won't take me up on it, even assuming my counterpart gets the promotion. I think I hope he won't take me up on it.

Brand the biz(es.)
*Writing* No real progress since my website overhaul and biz plan work. I need to polish the site, but I'm waiting to solidify location information! And that starts with the church in Gahanna. *Pthb*

I need to make a CD for the Mexican restaurant that might want to hire me to play starting in the spring.

15 minutes of small biz research per day.
*Pencil* Goal met.

Business: Music Instruction Books.
*Writing* Okay, I give. I'll scootch this down to the "pending" goals list for now. I'll revisit after Abbott.

Launch one new Praise Band song per month.
*Check* Goal met.

Post at WordPress at least once per week.
*Pencil* Pending.

Achieve a weight of 145.0 by 3/31/10.
Weight: 155.2

Write new lyrics once per week.
*Pencil* Pending.

Write one new original song per month.
*Pencil* Pending. I should move both of these goals for awhile, too, but I'd really like to build my original repertoire. Especially for bd's, where I'm front and center, I'd like to make my normal setlist more than 50% original, so that I'm not labeled a cover act.

Launch one new repertoire song per week.
*Pencil* Pending. I didn't launch any Coldplay last night, but the Griller who requested it wasn't there, so, whew. I'd rather try it out at Potbelly first where I'm a little more in the background.

Taxes.
*Writing* Pending mileage for July-Dec, with plans to do that... um... today?
