Honesty IS the best policy

Early morning here... thunderstorm... I like storms.. it's always been sort of peaceful listening to the thunder... and watching the sky light up... I'm a little leery if the wind picks up a bit.. but.. for the most part.. I enjoy them. I always wondered what it would be like to have sex in a storm.. but.. who knows..  In any case, I am up a bit early this morning. I don't really think that I intended to run off anyone... as a matter of fact, I have been my usual self.. not addressing any issues on  the site.. I took students to test yesterday... and sneaked off for a few minutes to visit the vampires again yesterday... they finally got the last vial of blood they needed. I have this thing about the quality of service that has fallen so much in recent years... no one takes pride in their job anymore. It's like everyone just does enough to get by.. and that's it. I believe no matter what your job is.. do it right... take a little pride in being competent..  How many times have you gone through a fast food restaurant.. just to have them get your order wrong..  How many times have you run across a defective item.. because of it's worksmanship. Few people will work to provide quality parts and service.. I always strive to be the best that I can be.. and do the utmost amount that I can do.. and I take pride in it.. even the simple stuff.. If I am going to do something.. I want to do it right.. and be able to say..that it was ME who did it.  That is why when a student of mine fails a test.. I feel like maybe I didn't do as good a job as what I should have.  I would love to be able to ...fix the world.. but I know that's not possible. But.. I can continue to strive to be the best person I can be.. I can help my friends.. listen.. and do what I think is best.  I offer advice.. and support.. and I try not to tear anyone down... that part is somewhat difficult at times.. because it's easy to get sucked into berating someone because of their choices to be... mean... condescending.. spiteful... I guess I do that too.. on occasion.. as we all do.. but sometimes.. my honesty outweighs my need for tact. I know that I piss people off sometimes by being bluntly honest.. anyone in my life.. will have to understand.. that I will continue to be honest. To me.. honesty IS the best policy.

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

I'm Looking Forward To A New Year.

Been through ice the last few days... lots of time to take off between now and the end of the year... but I will get it in. I tend to not worry about much of anything lately. There's no need.. life is perfect... or at least headed in a perfect direction. I am still irritated at my boss and don't feel that I can truly talk to her without wanting to slap some sense into her... and I'm not a violent person... I don't like the feelings she provokes in me. I haven't felt those feelings before. I would never contemplate seriously hurting anyone on purpose... but with her.. I just want answers... show me WHY you would do such a thing. Not a whole lot I can do about it now.. I will just ride it out until I can go elsewhere... it won't be much longer anyway. I got new glasses yesterday. They are the first plastic frames I've had in 30+ years... black and simple. I actually am growing to like them in a hurry. I spent my time driving to and from the city on the phone...
