Brick Boss: The Whiteboard Artist

As a computer professional, I have long struggled to explain what I do for a living to my wife & my mom.

Heck to be candid it's often been hard to explain my jobs to my geek friends. Becuase I've always had a unicorn role.

Meaning that my job was one of a kind. I have a variety of skills - programmer, system administrator, sales, marketing and presenting that makes it too hard to keep me in one slot.

It also kept me from getting bored.

But yesterday I had to book another business trip. It's not one that I'm looking forward to. It's on a Friday in a small city. If I miss my 5pm flight, it will mean I won't get home until Saturday.

I'm not here to whine. I'm here to be silly.

Because I realized that I was going on this business trip to be an artist. I had dreamed for a while of being an artist even though my drawing skills are limited.

But combine my limited drawing skills with my geeky comp-sci problem solving brain and bingo you have a traveling artist.

Someone who gets paid to travel the country drawing boxes on whiteboards.

That's what I told me my mom that my job is. "I draw boxes on whiteboards for a living."

Meanwhile, I don't have any boxes on whiteboards for sale but I do have t-shirts and coffee mugs with funny phrases at:

PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE

Thanks for visiting! My blog is a resource guide for educational and informational purposes. (And sometimes venting about inappropriate topics such as wine smuggling and/or individuals who wear Vibram Five Fingers to dinner parties. You know--the usual.) To write my articles, I use my experiences, the experiences of others and various other resources including but not limited to the wild wild web, the Encyclopedia Britannica (what? you didn’t buy the extended library collection of 1989?) and/or The Bible. (Kidding. But maybe not.) That said, my advice doesn’t come with any guarantees. By visiting this site, you’re essentially signing a contract that says that you understand that I make no guarantees, and you won’t try to sue me or report me to the Trump administration. Because that? Would be awkward.

Guess what? If you click on a link that I’ve provided, it might be a link to someone who will give me a commission if you buy something from their site. That means that I might get paid if you click on that link. And the reason why I’m telling you this is because I want to be upfront with you, and because it’s illegal not to. (So, you know, right side of the law and all.) That said, I promise to use any affiliate commissions earned for good causes: Things like reinvesting in this business to bring you even better resources, and quite possibly at least one Sunday trip to the zoo. Because...zoos.
