Last night was a bad night. I looked at my life and for a time could not find a positive. I was twice divorced. I am in the exact same job and position as I was years ago. My girlfriend was pissed at me. I was failing her in different ways. The students I am teaching at work did horrid on their first assessment. I had a promotion at work a while back, but was demoted in a political move.
So, I went to bed in a shitty mood. And woke up in a worse mood. I tried to hide it as best I could this morning. I then decided that this wasn’t working for me. I had pulled myself down. I had made my own funk. Did/do I have reason to be down? Maybe. Probally. I don’t know. What I DO know is that I have control of how I handle my emotions. And to choose to be depressed does not make sense. It is my choice.
I will lie to myself if I have to until I either am happy; or can hide it enough. Convince those around me is easy. Convincing myself is dificult. But….
It will be done

Call now to take advantage of this limited time offer….but wait…THERE’S MORE!!!!

Filed under: Work

I work for a major government entity. I will not mention which one. However, this one I have to share….

The person who was the head of my city and the entire department has recently retired. I have not been happier about a personnel move like that in YEARS. But before she left, she made one more of her monumental, brilliant decisions. She decided to upgrade the televisions in all of our break rooms.

Great idea, right? And we got NICE televisions. 60 inch plasma flat screens. DVD and VCR combination machines. Sweet deal, right? But someone got afraid that these may be stolen or vandalized. So the decision was made to move these TV’s into training rooms. The secured training rooms. The training rooms where training classes are being held.

So we now have at least seven TVs, converter boxes, antennas and DVD/VCR that are now not being used at all.

Your tax dollars at work, once again…..

Back, and this time with Sparkles!!!!

Filed under: Finding Myself

So it has been a long time since I have blogged. Which I find funny, because I really have a lot to say. 93% of what I have to say is good. Do you, my loyal readers have what it takes to handle a happy D.A.D.?? A D.A.D. who is in a healthy steady wunnermous relationship???

Let’s find out!!!!!!!

One of the more exciting things that has happened in my life is a good old fashion, doctor diagnosised, version pf pneumonia. And let me tell that literally sucks the life breath out of you. It has been a bit exciting. One night, I am in that fun little stage where I am not asleep but not awake. I heard this little voice that said “You think that is funny; Watch this!!!!” I really did HEAR this voice.

Hey, I always like humour. So I opened my eyes. But what I saw was just a wee bit out of place. I was looking DOWN on myself and seeing my girlfriend looking and yelling out my name. This was a very interesting perspective. That went on for about 30 seconds when I finally heard / felt/ did a soul shattering tear and breath. It felt as if it was almost my soul being pulled away. Next thing I new, I was back in bed, looking at my girlfriend and then talking to her.

Luckily, I do not believe I can have an out of body experience so I know that is not what it was. Who says denial is unhealthy??????

Enough of the whiney butt……

I really do plan to start blogging more. Great things have happened at work. More to follow!!!!!!!
