I’m admitting more here than I should, in the even that anyone should actually read this. What I’m about to say next will surely convince you that I’ve gone over the edge. If that is so, then you should know that I really went long ago. So here I go. Do you ever find yourself in a contemplative mood? Do you ever find yourself wandering about the house admiring your surroundings?
I’m not even exactly sure what I mean by that just yet. I’m kind of writing by the seat of my pants. Actually, I’m not … no, on second thought that’s more than you needed to know. I was just sitting here thinking about work (I’m writing this on Friday night) and what its like to finish off the week. No, its more than that. I’m thinking about what…
The last month or so I’ve been surrounded. People around me are suggesting that I should seek some small opportunity for myself in the part-time, work from home, start your own business arena. It is a subject that comes up every so often, and it has been particularly furious recently. The trouble is, it does sound appealing. In my fantasies, I see myself in some idyllic country setting, the…
Did I mention where I’ve found the time to write this? Well, it’s 4:05 pm, and I’m sitting in a doctor’s office. I’m sitting here waiting to see if I’ll have a reaction to my allergy shots. I can be a little uptight about some things, and having a reaction to medication is one of those things. So, just imagine what it does when the nurses tell me to wait around…
Lately I’ve been kind of blue. It seems that every time I turn around, someone is leaving; for better jobs, for different surroundings … you get the picture. When people leave I start to feel like there is something wrong with where I am. Mind you, I didn’t feel like this prior to the exodus, so I’m almost sure that it’s just in my head. None the less, it’s…
I found out that my wife was pregnant with our second child in a unique way. One day after my wife got a positive result on a home pregnancy test, I was called down to the mail room at my office to pick up a potted plant that had been delivered for me. The potted plant didn’t tell me much, so I opened the card attached. “Congratulations, you’re a daddy again…”, it…
I’m toying with my options since the announcement that I’m about to be charged for the space I use for this web site. Alas, nothing lasts forever, especially when it’s free. In my research I’ve discovered an intriguing possibility, one that I may pursue regardless if I keep my site here or not: registering my own domain name. Maybe someday you’ll be ignoring these…
“Do you miss college?” The question came out of nowhere. I was at work, and out of the blue one of my coworkers popped the question on me while I was assisting with a computer problem. Do I miss college? “Yeah, I miss college; but I don’t miss the lectures”, I answered. I’m laying in bed, the morning after, and I remember the question. Do I miss college? Yeah, I…
I’m holding an empty water bottle in my hands. The only difference between this bottle and the bottle that was sitting on my desk is that the one on my desk was not empty, not quite anyway. About two mouthfuls of water and five minutes separate the two. For the last two hours, I’ve been looking at the mostly empty bottle of water. I’ve been at work and I’ve been thirsty…
