Random Life Update 2023 Version
  Svenman87, Feb 25 2023

Hey LP

Long time no talk - hope everyone that reads this is doing well. I love randomly catching up with all of you from time to time via your blogs. Hard to believe my last update here was 2015.

Work
-----

Still with the same bank but have had about 4 lateral/promotions since my last update so things are going well on that aspect I suppose although I've been getting burned out a bit quicker in each new job I take. I'd say that's more on the employer end than anything else - all the teams I've been on have been hamstringed by being understaffed and as a result overworked (yay capitalism :D). Each CEO through my career seems to produce additional "profit" through somewhat artificial means by squeezing water out of a stone (not hiring back to full strength as well as stock buybacks).


Life
----
Well that girlfriend in my previous post became my wife as of 2020 and we've since welcomed a beautiful girl, Astrid, into this world and look forward to meeting her sister in a few months. Fatherhood has been a massive change (for the better). My previous cold robotic demeanor completely melted into puddles since becoming a dad (50% of Bluey episodes get the waterworks going these days) - truly the most amazing/challenging/humbling opportunity I'm presented with each day.


Poker
-----
Still play at least once a month live - Fixed Limit Holdem (8/16 Kill or 20/40) - Occasionally will play online via ACR.


tl;dr life is good :D

Until next time - take care LP <3

Random Life Update
  Svenman87, Jun 18 2015

Hey LP - long time no see hope all is well here are a few random things I've been up to lately.

Work
-----
I'm still currently work 3rd shift on our tech team for a big bank however I've began to interview for a few different sales positions within the bank; currently in my 3rd round of interviews for a Sales Analyst position which would eventually lead to a Sales Consultant role which has a nice compensation package that would bring the overall salary up to about 120-150 depending on performance ofc. The other job I'm interviewing for is a Financial Advisor - which would be EXTREMELY tough for the first three years as you build your business (generally only about 30% of FA's make it past the first few years - 50% are weeded out within the first 6 months) However after those first few years of long hours and hard work things would eventually get easier and more lucrative as you build your book of business and the nice thing for this position is the commission would not be capped, so it's all on how hard you really want to work with comp ranging from 25k (probably would be let go relatively quickly with those numbers) all the way past a million a year for the top performers.

Life

I recently moved into a new (old) house with my gf - loving it, however with both of the job positions it'd mean I'd be relocating which would suck to deal with that and move AGAIN within a month or so. Seriously fuck moving, I never knew I had so much shit.

I have unfortunately fallen off the working out + eating well routine and am pretty much starting over as of a few weeks ago. Where I was about 275 at the start of June two years ago, I'm starting at about 245~250 this time around. The biggest factor is time to go, working third shift started off as easy but it has really dragged on my health over the past few years - so the sooner I can get out the better.

Poker
-----
I still play live 3-4x a month - I generally stick to the 6/12 limit or the new 10/20 limit game - and very rarely during the year I've freerolled up to the 20/40 game when the right players are in the game.

I also recently tossed a bit of coin back online with ACR for some fun (wow it's been so long since I've played online - such a great feeling!) I'll be looking to withdraw the amount I've deposited within the next few days as I'd rather not be burned later. So at least now what's left is fun money and I know the system works :D


tl;dr life is good :D

Take care LP <3
