And another thing....

I hope that all are having a great Easter, though inevitably, somebody will get pissy beacuse of.... ok, just read the last posting. I just think that if people put as much energy into making life better for everyone as they do into trying to look like they are making life better for everyone, success may be alot closer than you think.

(ahem)

I just had brunch with my family today before work. It was nice to hang with my sister and her husband and my mother. I feel like there just isn't enough time to build and strengthen those familial bonds. Now I'm working two jobs and never have any time for my own family, much less my mother and siblings (of which are my sister, Christi at 45, John-Scott at 41, then me at 36). There are so many things I want to say and do but never have the "opportune moment".

Now that the whining is out of the way, I can see to fixing it.

If my wife continues to work at her job, and I can get my foor in the door for a full time gig at my second job, I won't have to work two.
OK
First, support my wife in her career choice and let her know my plans for my own.
Second, bust ass to prove myself at second job.
Third, do not let first job know about plans for second job. Don't want to shoot myself in the foot.

See how easy that was? What makes it impossible for so many people to look at the problem and get it fixed? My wife lives by the adage, "Fix it and move on". Stop dwelling on what wrongs you feel you have suffered and make a point to live today and tomorrow, learning from yesterday, but not letting yesterday's disappointments become a crutch you use to make excuses for yourself. Simple, right?
