Problems big and small…

I have, in the last few posts, talked about big problems.  What am I going to do now?  Who am I?  This kind of thing. Rest assured I have smaller problems too.  For example: Wednesday I came home from work, and early at that.  After a string of days where I didn’t get in my [...]

I think I’m going about this all wrong…

It occurs to me that problem is me. I look around and no one else seems to be bothered.  It stands to reason that the problem is me. Maybe I try too hard.  Maybe my goals are unrealistic. Maybe my perception of myself is not in line with reality. I shouldn’t be working this hard.  [...]

The dumbest day of the year

I spent my Birthday at work for 12 hours. Yeah, I know how to party. I doesn’t really matter. I hate my Birthday. It’s not the getting older, I don’t mind that. I’ve spent most of life wishing that I was old enough to be able to do this or that. It’s just something about [...]

First Post of the Year

Today is the 25th of January and I’m just now getting around to the first post of the year. I suck. It’s January. Winter. I hate it. Short Gray days. Cold that doesn’t let up. And maybe it’s all in my head, but it seems colder than usual this year. It’s like a stain that [...]

Another one bites the dust…

Another year is gone.  Blah Blah Blah. I find it hard to get into all of this New Year stuff.  It appears to be some bizarre combination of nostalgia and optimism for the future. Nothing has change significantly since last week.  A New Year, perhaps, but mostly just another day. But I guess I can’t [...]

It’s not that I don’t want to

Me: I really need a new job… Mango: you’ve been telling me that for over 4 years now. I’ve had three jobs since then, not sure what you’re waiting for. He’s got a point.  I mean he was probably just trying to be shitty, but there is a valid point there. There are two real [...]

Labor Day Weekend

It’s not lost on me that Labor Day has morphed over time from being a celebration and day of rest for the workers of this country into a day celebrated by upper middle class white collar types who enjoy spending their extra day off shopping for whatever and eating out. Which of course leaves the [...]

You’d think that I’d know better…

I hate my job. I know… who doesn’t? But here’s the rub, I like what I do. I like my job description, I like the projects I’ve been assigned. I even like many of my co-workers. But my peers, the other Network Engineers, they are ruining it for me. Of course, I can’t go around [...]
