Reflections of Oh-five

Filed under: Reflections, Work - Ric @ 11:38 am

The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain, or so it is postulated by Henry Higgins et al. This also happens to be an apt description of my experience of the past year. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

…and something like happiness will shine through…

Last year saw the end of the tyranny of the beloved one at the evil empire of International Greed Enablement. It has been replaced by indentured servitude employment at Gigantic Concrete, and the key difference is merely the lack of a narrow minded myopic twit of a manager directly above me. The stress remains. The insanity of Information Technology (IT)(Idiotic Tasks)(Itinerant Travel) remains. The emptiness remains. After almost a year of freedom, I realise that I am just as un-free, and working in a field I just don’t like anymore.

This has to stop. So my goal this year is to find something I really want to do, and start doing it. If I can do this, then perhaps my melancholy disposition will abate and something like happiness will shine through. This would certainly make my family much happier, and in the end, isn’t that what really matters? There will be consequences for sure, but the consequences of doing this for another year will likely be costlier still.

    A resolution to find and do.

    That is a worthy quest.

    Best

    Happy New Year, buddy! Our best wishes to you and your clan!

    The biggest challenge will be the identification of what would work better for you, but I’m sure you will find your goal in time. I too am thinking of expanding my horizons…perhaps a chat is in order?

    Here’s to plenty of beers…very soon.

    Allan - A worthy quest is all one can ask for.

    Tim - Happy New Year sir! A chat is always a good thing and beer is always welcome. :)
