Being responsible for the overall completion of a project doesn’t mean you get to boss people around. It just means that you get to correct the things that are incorrect and do the things that are completely neglected.

Perhaps I will start talking to myself more often.

The fine line to walk between apathy and keeping yourself from exploding with stress is tough to walk. People with “urgent” concerns get to me far too easily, pushing me into a state of utter panic. The act of warding off the stress is almost a state of walking meditation. Almost Ignorance. How does one care without caring?

To whom it may concern - A letter to the young individual who has found themselves working their life away in something they have absolutely no passion for. To the responsible person who is out to prove something. Constantly surrounded by those who are 10-15 years your senior. You might have the brightest of ideas. You might be 10x more efficient. You might be sick of explaining simple...

Seniority is trumped by favoritism. Double standards hang in the air. I wouldn’t mind if you had just told me. Instead, you’ve decided to neglect explanation. Obviously I haven’t worked hard enough to deserve a mature conversation. Almost as if you consider me so dull that I wouldn’t observe the injustice. I understand that life is unfair. I can get over it. But the...

the grass isn’t greener on the other side. however pretending that it is can sometimes be the ticket for getting through the next few minutes.

I never get it right on the first try. This seems great, but wouldn’t it break easily?

I’m trying really hard not to let this winter bring me down like so many have in the past. It would seem that some days, no matter how hard I try, I get caught no matter what.

Coming down off of such a good weekend is tough. Time with my wife. Time with my boy. So good. I got a lot of projects done around the apartment. Really starting to feel moved in. The new apartment is excellent - more like home. As soon as I sat down at my desk this morning I felt empty. This particular Monday feels heavy. Heavy on my shoulders. Many details.

I have a million things to do at home. Not a single thing I can think of to do at the office. Alas, I am stuck at the office. Ironic. The Monday after Christmas is always a killer.

I’ve been staring at desks for the last few hours. My boss wants a new desk for his office. I have taken upon the task of finding and buying one. It is absolutely fascinating how far this rabbit hole goes. I could spend all winter on this.

slow regret.

I was about 19. I was driving home from a friends place around 1 or 2 in the morning. A fresh snow had just fallen, perhaps about 5” or so. The radio was off. It was quiet and peaceful. No other cars on the road. I passed by my high school, of which I had just graduated from the year before. I saw the fresh snow completely blanketing the parking lot. Typically this parking lot was...

sitting at my desk is the complete opposite of sitting on a jet-ski.

signed proposal for web design work on my desk this morning. boooooyah.

Dec 14th

I feel like an idiot when it comes to confronting my boss. The almost complete collapse of confidence seems to surprise me every single time. I have thousands of dollars in IT/Web/Phone proposals on my desk. Determining the best time to discuss these items with him is agonizing. All of these proposals pertain to things that need to be purchased, fixed, implemented, and finalized. They are...

Winter has certainly come. A contractor called me on my way to work this morning. He was supposed to meet me at an inspection today. However, due to the blizzard, all inspections will most likely be postponed until spring. He insisted that it would warm up next week and that inspection would be possible. He also interrogated me about my experience and qualifications to accurately perform my...

have you ever taken a breath of air, only to realize that you have been holding your breath subconsciously for a significant amount of time?

Dec 7th

Like turning up a large rock in the forest. All the worms and centipedes panic and dart for cover in the fresh mud. Turning the clocks back suddenly transports me to a cold reality. My lungs welcome the brisk air. Rich feeling - breathing in and out. get me some of that motivational moonshine. get me up on my feet. drink deeply my friend. drink deep.

Fair weather, barely ever tough as leather. People who understand are so few and far between. Your silent advertisement is making me lonely. You’ve put me in a box and forgotten. I tried to talk to you. I’m just not that normal I suppose. I’m not sure why I make you feel so uncomfortable. It’s a two way street, so don’t point your finger at me.

in the dark.

here we go again. wake up in the dark. drive in the dark. bask in the fluorescent. drive home in the dark. go to bed in the dark. my brain in the dark.
