BOO FREAKIN' HOO!
I enumerated to a friend today why I have been in a funk this week.
1. Too High expectations set on people and when they don't meet my expectations I let it bother me too much - and sometimes I take it too personally.
2. I was at a friends house recently and he is older, married, with children, children that I used to mentor when I was a high school leader. He said to me, "We need to find you a girlfriend before you balloon up to 400 pounds."
3. New Job Interviews - I had a second interview last Friday and not hearing anything this week has put me on edge. It is that feeling you get when you want something really, really bad, but you don't dare allow yourself to hope too much because you don't want to be disappointed. Well, times that by 10 and you know how I feel because I have been trying for this for 4 years now.
4. I got a toll tag bill for $500 dollars and I have no way of proving that I didn't run the toll. I always pay - except for a couple of times, but shoot, I didn't run the thing 20 times like they are saying.
So, I will tell myself what Jim Trolio, a good friend of mine that I used to work with used to always say to me - BOO FREAKIN' HOO!!! No one wants to hear about your problems.
But a special thanks to those of you who sent kind words via email - it really helped a lot and you didn't even tell me to go get a can of "Suck It Up". Thanks!

Oh I soooo wanted to tell you to "suck it up" but I have bandwidth to concider! :)
Funny that you mention Jim, I actually work with him now, at least I think it is the same person you are talking about, we have quite a few former contractors from TI. I read your blog often and have been for a few month, I stumbled across it one day when I was bored at work. We all have frustrations, mine overwhelm me quite often, I work between 60-80 hours a week just trying to get ahead and get my career on track and sometimes simply the exhaustion and boredom with both of my jobs really takes its toll. It sounds like you are very busy and have a great passion for life, but I wonder how much you do for yourself?
Wonderful and informative web site. I used information from that site its great. Maxine williams scholarship
