I'm Not That Smart.

So I might be getting a bit more overtime at work... which I can definitely use. I keep thinking a positive change is going to happen, but maybe I'm overlooking all the little changes that are adding up and making a difference.  I don't know why, but last night I had severe insomnia... I was up most of the night, but I tried to limit my time online, because I knew once I got interested in something... it would be that much longer before I would be able to sleep.  I have fun bantering back and forth with people, but there's really not that much of an interest there to keep my attention... so I banter with whomever is around and will banter with me... I try to stay away from a few, because I know that they have issues with me... no biggie, I just go about my business.. I find that I am not all that interested in bantering with anyone in particular, and truth be told... I don't think most of them could actually keep up with me at my best... that sounds really arrogant doesn't it.. I haven't been at my best in awhile... I make some half-hearted attempts occasionally... and I go a round or two... but for the most part there's not really anyone that can bring out the best in me...

I started this blog yesterday... and completely forgot about it... I think I got the umpteenth phone call from my dad and just got irritated.  I should have come back to relieve the irritation, but that would be the smart thing to do.  Unfortunately, I am not always prone to do the smart thing.  I sometimes wonder why certain people think I'm smart.  I told my students yesterday that I was really no smarter than they were... I just had plenty of experience which exposed me to more knowledge.. and they had the potential to know as much or more about things as I did. I don't think they understood that. In a way it's true, but is intelligence just saying we know more?  ...does it have any thing to do with common sense?  Those are some interesting questions, but ones I really don't know the answer to ...because.. I'm not that smart.

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...
