Introspection….

Well, I am back from the near-dead.  I had a hear attack on 1.14.2009 and that was really a wake-up call and I look upon life a lot differently than I have in the past.

We all know that death and taxes are inevitable, but you always think it will happen to everyone but yourself….I was wrong and it almost cost me my life.

I’m too damn young for this shit to happen, but when you work endless hours and let the stress get to you, something is going to give and I finally hit that threshold.

These days, I do what I can, and what doesn’t get finished will just have to wait until the next day.

I refuse to kill myself for a company that will lay you off at a drop of the hat; why would I want to give my life for being just another number within a company?

We went to the local pub last night and had a really good time.

THANK GOD, my husband is in Law Enforcement, because we got pulled over on the way home around !:30AM.

I can’t tell you how happy I was to get home as that was really scary.

Good think I wasn’t driving….YIKES!!!

I busted my foot a few weeks back and I’ve been in a pretty shitty mood since then…thus, the lack of any posts from me as I’ve been just keeping to myself.

That is one quality I hate about myself is that I will bottle it up and just shut everyone out.  It’s been a bitch to even work and fortunately, I can work from home which I have been doing since the foot incident.

Tomorrow, I am forcing myself to go out as I have to heal myself inside and out as this is not good for myself or anyone around me.  I’m not looking forward to it, but it has to be done and no one but myself can do it.

Sometimes I wonder; is life actually that difficult or do we make it more than it should be?

This is pretty much how the entire summer has been…”Salsa Shark; We’re gonna need a bigger boat!!”

I have really bad knees and I have to get them drained every 6 months plus a cortisone shot with that. I decided to take a picture of the Synovial Fluid that was drained from my knee…the photo didn’t come out clearly as I accidentally had the camera on video and just took a screenshot of it.

Sorry to gross folks out, but everyone always ask me what it looks like and how much they drained.  Now mind you, this was a really large plunger with a needle about the size of a 9-penny nail.  The Orthopedic Surgeon that I go to is really a good doctor and he had the decency to numb the area with a Freon like agent that took only seconds to work.  I didn’t feel the needle at all, but it did hurt later in the day and I still feel a bit of discomfort in the injection site.

So they had a major lay off at work today, and what did they call it? “Employee Reduction Initiative”. That is the biggest crock to me…bottom line; you are getting FIRED; pack up your stuff, get your exit interview and beat it.

I guess what kills me is the fact that everyone has to be so damn politically correct in everything these days. You can’t discipline your kids or you’ll end up in jail for child abuse; you can’t mark up the test scores in red because it hurts the child’s feelings; everyone is equal when it comes to sports…so in other words, if you suck at football, they have to put you on the team because everyone is “equal” and God forbid that someone gets left out or their parents will sue the school.

Back when I grew up, if I messed up, my parents would kick my ass; plain and simple. If I didn’t study for a test and the paper was just one big red mark-up, there was no one to blame but myself…and guess what? I never ended up in therapy!!! Imagine that?

Parents need to let their kids be “kids” and experience disappointment, learn to be accountable for one’s actions; if they can’t cut it for a football/baseball/basketball team, they are out!! DEAL WITH IT!!!

Same with work; it seems as though there is a new acronym every week; a new initiative of some sort of BS every month…who thinks of this stuff?

I always picture a bunch of pencil-pushers sitting in some Iron “Think Tank” thinking of all of this BS. What do they do? High-five each other and tell each other how wonderful and smart they are? I picture them with plastic pencil/pen holder in their shirt pocket and coke bottle glasses…who the heck knows…

I miss my Graphic Design business that I had for 10 years back in Cali. That was the very reason I formed my company; I got sick of this corporate BS.

…as for the kids of today; I feel sorry for when they have to go out into the “Real World” and see what living is really like…

I was just looking through all of my photos, and came across this photo of the freeway that crumbled.  This was about 5 miles from my house….

Aggie has to be the cutest puppy ever. My dog wanted to play with her, but we’re going to have to hold off on that for a few months. Loki tossed her in the air with his long snout, and as she came down, he tried to catch her…time for her to go back home.
