I am the King

So, it's been a while since I blogged. 100 times more since Dan's even visited the site to even pretend to blog.

My apologies.

I did write a blog entry on my flight back from Cleveland but I need to rework it. As usual it's a rambling mess of thoughts and meaningless phrases. Par for the course actually.

To bring you all up to speed I quote from the fantastic movie, The Princess Bride...
Westley: Who are you? Are we enemies? Why am I on this wall? Where is Buttercup?
Inigo Montoya: Let me 'splain.
[pause]
Inigo Montoya: No, there is too much. Let me sum up.

Yes, let me sum up.

Penton extended me through the end of 2007.
I am involved with an OSX migration for our Cleveland offices this May and June.
My time is being split with onsite support and transition support for our Boulder and Loveland offices.
Step kid has a court date in June which may alter her existence on Earth.
Heroes season finale sucked.
My golf lessons haven't made drastic improvements in my game yet, but I am starting to be more consistent. Five more lessons to go.

Aside from that I have to pee.

Inigo Montoya: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to kill you.
Westley: You seem a decent fellow. I hate to die.

Did I mention I love this movie.....

I Can't Figure People Out

There is so much little bullshit going on in my life it's starting to over-shadow all the important items.

Like my brother finally having a baby.

That should be something great that I can report on almost every week.
No, I get to focus on how my step kid isn't behaving and breaking her probation. Not only that, it doesn't seem like SHE even cares she's doing this. I think her new court date next week will open her eyes.

I need to figure out what's going on with my career. Is it dead in the water? Do I have a future in new Penton? Unisys (our outsourcing company)?

No, I get to focus on driving down to our Boulder office to try and fix Blackberry issues and dealing with misdiagnosed issues from the new help desk. I should be documenting our processes for the transition and helping to plan a Vista deployment. I feel lost and useless.

A friend at work thinks I need to make my own happiness. She feels that no matter what others do to me I should rise above it and be happy. Make a conscious effort to push aside the shit being introduced to my life and just be.

I can see her point. I do try to agree with her since she's cute and all, but somehow I can't just do that. People do have a profound affect on you and whether they shit on you determines your happiness level. There isn't anyway around that. Unless of course I just dope myself up and ignore them.

Hmmmmmmm

Quickie Post - Better Lucky Than Good

So I got extended through the end of 2007 for my job. How much of this I attribute to luck and how much is the result of hard work I don't know.
I just know I can at least keep benefits and health for another 7 months.
