Will I Live?

So... I'm sitting in a doctor's office after being run through a stress test... funny, but I was much larger than I currently am now when  my last test was run.... and I remember it being much easier.  I suppose part of it is age.. the other part is that even though I walk quite a bit during the day... I don't push myself as much as I did.  I feel more out of shape than I've felt in a long time.  I am just waiting on the doctor to go over it all with me, so I will probably end up finishing this blog later.  I really am not worried about it... I just want my cardiac clearance so I can have a minor procedure done... will it still happen?  ...we shall see.
   I was told at work that many of my extra assignments are going to be spread out... to various staff members... at least government workers..  but I know that is going to open up a whole can of wormy incompetence.... I am sorry, but I am struggling at times... so I know that I will end up doing the work anyway if it is going to get done. I would just prefer to do it right in the first place instead of being called upon to straighten out someone else's mess. The people they've sent from the national office seem competent.. and I know they mean well... but they are going to institute policies and procedures to take place..  then walk away assuming that the management is going to get it done... when they haven't been able to do anything majorly positive in the last several years.... what's different now?  ...tonight is the last day before sequestration takes place... I don't have a clue what that entails for us..  but it can't be positive.. I don't think we can do with any less budget than we currently have... or maybe there is a waste of money other than what we are aware of.  In any case, we will figure that out as well.  I hope the blame for the center's failure gets assigned to the appropriate people.  Well.. I hear the doc talking with someone outside my door... so I should know more in a sec.... will I live?

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...
