Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

@SAP IN SAN JOSE. So it's totally pathetic that I haven't written anything in my Journal for almost a month but I guess that's how it goes when your busy and you don't have the luxury of some free time in the afternoon to write. So much to say, so many thoughts yet I don't even know where to start.
I started a new job in January but I think I wrote that already. I'm now working for a consulting firm as an "Enterprise Portal Consultant" I'm still not sure what that exactly means but I guess I'll find out. So far I've been sent to a week of SAP Portals training, sat at home for a week and now I'm back at SAP Portals training, however I'm reviewing their training documentation and ultimately going to be doing some of the training next week. I'm really excited about what I'm doing because it's not sitting and writing code for 10 hours a day anymore. I'm actually doing true consulting work, which is what I've been wanting for a few years now.
In some ways I can't believe that I found a job so quickly. I was only out of work for about a week and a half before I got this job. Given the state the economy is in right now I'd say that's quite a feat. I'd like to think that my experience and skill set had something to do with it but I'll just credit it to good luck this time. I finally feel like a professional again. I have to dress up to go to work, which has it's pro's and con's but I actually do feel like people take me seriously and actually listen to what I have to say. I mean after all being a consultant means that I'm supposed to be the expert. I know that I may have to travel a bit, but it doesn't look as if it's going to be as much as I thought right now. I know that Justin and I will be able to deal with it.
