Random notes from a guy that's been on the internet for a while.
I've got a cold and I hate it. I took today off of work. Not something I like to do as there will be lots to catch up on later. I saw the saying the other day which went something along the lines of, on your deathbed your not going to be remembering the job you had. It's all the other moments that will be more important. I believe that's true. Work is this place where for most full time employed…
Yesterday was our 25 year anniversary. Not marriage. Not being together. Nothing super conventional to most, and most definitely not the easiest thing to explain to people. No, it's more blog centric to be honest. 25 years ago yesterday S signed my guestbook. This is what she said: Jul 24th 2001 ”Just thought I'd check out your diary and website, seeing as you so kindly signed my guestbook. It's…
I don't know about you, but when someone quits a job at your work there always seems to be a lot of other movement. It's just started happening today at my work. A senior manager who for lack of a better word has cock blocked things for us in a roundabout way in the past is off to a new job. It sounds like a made up role, one where you could bascially do anything in regard to the role. Be…
Hey, if your reading this I hope you are well. Wherever you are in the world and whatever device you are reading this on right this second, I hope you are doing OK fellow internet person. I mean it. I'm tired. This week has been a lot of work, and never feeling like there is enough time in the week to do things. I miss the weird hours I used to work. This Mon-Fri thing, with normal office hours…
I've found myself on the path of least resistance lately. I go to work. I come home. I stuff around on the internet before and after work. That seems to be it. It's a yearly thing for me. It's during the time it's cold. This year it might be the worst it's ever been. I feel like I've been doing some things but in reality I don't think I have been. I have good days and bad days. The bad days seem…
I never win money. I don't really gamble apart form the odd lottery ticket, scratchie or a visit to a casino about once every 2 years. I've been next to people that have won big on pokie machines. I've been one of only two people in a gaming room and the other person one the jackpot. It's OK, I know that money isn't something I win, I don't chase it. Physical products though. I'm good at winning…
I'm getting stressed which isn't a super normal state for me. I'm also very busy. Partially with work, partially with an event I'm going to this week. No time to read blogs, no time to find itneresting ones to list :( Hopefully soon things will calm down. Until then... be good.
Every now and then I fall off the wagon. The wagon is doing the things that work for me. This could be going for a walk, drinking enough water etc. In this case the thing that I stopped doing was writing my paper to-do list. I talked about it being superior in this post. The home list comes and goes, I'm OK with that. Some days I don't want to do anything extra. I've already had work tire my brain…
Today we went to a market day held in a small nearby community. It seemed to be a monthly thing, plus I think they have some massive market once a year. Our main reason to go was to see if my workmate was going to be there. She's the newest member of our team. I was involved in the recruitment process to hire her. After her interview the boss and I looked at each other and said "she'll fit right…
Today we decided to go for a walk. The plan was to go on a short drive out to some random place that had a lake. All was going well until we got there and the gate down to the lake was locked. It turns out it is closed during duck hunting season. I like to think there was some sort of horrific final destination type death one year prompting them to lock it down. While sitting in the car looking at…
