My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

When Does the Fun Start? That is a good question. With all buzz right now being centered around work, I don't even have time to indulge in the things that make us human. Vacation planning? Home improvement? Wedding planning? House shopping? Computer lifing? I miss it all. Back in the "day", I had a little free time during the day to play around on this site, add applications, start debates (some not so good), and just live a normal dotcom lifestyle. I don't even watch TV anymore. Is Bush still president? :D The irony is that the cliche', "When it rains, it pours!" is so true. Web business is starting to flow in faster than I can turn it around. My dream has always been to break away from "the man"--living in Belize in the winter and Copper Harbor in the summer... all I would need is an internet connection and a decent computer. It's a little difficult to do that when you get home at 8pm every night-- the last thing I want to do is think. I won't even mention the torture my will has gone through in the last three months. I'll save that story for another time, when I'm long gone from the eyes of my OEM customer. The customer is always right, even when they are wrong. I'm surprised cars ever get built. At one point, I yearned the weekends... but Fridays turn into long fire-fights, and Mondays are spent going through the ashes. The weekends are almost not worth it, since will-recovery is just too short. I look at everything on the bright-side, however, even though my tone may sound like "oh woe is me". It's because of work that I can go to Greece for two weeks, home to house that I own (at least in the relative sense), spend (indulge) $3500 on a super-computer, scuba dive in remote tropical locations, eat and drink whatever and whenever I want, drive a 10-year old Jeep, and hoarde money like an Israeli. :D I miss the good ol' days... let me think... the college years were great, but somewhat stressful... the Chrysler engineering years were stressless, but very unmotivational... the Decoma engineering years were steady, but mundane... the Decoma engineering years were "be your own boss", but directionless... the Decoma DDC project management years were "hands-on" and exciting, but lacked internal growth... the Decoma SVE program management months were laissez-faire, but too impulsive... the Decoma SVE IT management months were a "free-for-all" stressless endeavor, but were severely unguided... now, the Decoma DSIG/SVE program management months are non-stop-fun, but suck the will out of me... I guess everything is relative. I guess the true good ol' days were the years of Taft Elementary School... that was a damn happy childhood, but it all ended when we moved to stuffy Sterling Heights. As cliche' as it sounds, life is full of transitions, and the more things change, the more they stay the same. It's all about getting the most out of the good times, and making sure the bad times are few and far between. It also helps to have a good memory, so you can ponder the good ones. posted by Dino at 7:18 PM (permanent link) |
