Notice: NOT Going Postal
By Mike | February 22, 2006
It’s recently been brought to my attention by a friend of mine *cough* Richard *cough that the last few posts I have put up have been decidedly less than funny, shiny, happy and cheerful. My initial impulse was to denounce him as a lying container of goat fecal excrement, as such a thing could not possibly be true – and then I realized he was right…
Thing of it is, I’ve been under a fair amount of stress lately, almost entirely work related – and that’s probably making a statement right there that I should listen to. Worth reflecting on is that my life is actually going pretty well, things aren’t bad at all. Money, family, health? All relatively good – probably the overall best I could hope for within reason. (I have not let this stop me from buying my periodic Powerball ticket though, I assure you. :) )
Work has pretty much stunk it up lately, lots of stress, personalities, frustrations, and a staggering inability to go home at the end of the day feeling like I made any significant progress.
So to heck with it, I’m not going to let it bother me anymore. I’ve made up my mind and decided. All I have to be able to do is go home at the end of the day, and be able to look myself in the eye, and know that I did the best job that I could, in the circumstances that I had to operate in.
What? You may ask possibly has brought this immense change of heart upon my person?
I slept through the night last night, first time in 11 days, and I slept the sleep of the dead. And that was with my accursed pager sitting right there on my nightstand. And it didn’t go off until 7:20 this morning, in the car, when I was already on my way to work.
:)
Good times, good times.
Will try and come up with something wittier in the future,
MO’B
