Rural Internet

It's a myth... Oh, I have dial-up, but I can feel the life sucking out of me while the pages down-load. You see, I had a cable modem once and a T1 at work, so anything short of instant gratification is not good enough.

I have looked into the satellite internet service, I just can't afford it. So, it is dial-up for me, which pretty much means no internet for me.

That being said, I only have my time at work to up date this thing, and I have found that I have gotten pretty busy recently. My work-load has doubled and the work they added wasn't exactly in pristine shape, so that has made it hard. On top of that, I have laid another person off since my angel of death posting and tomorrow I will likely fire someone out right.

"Love that Joker" Kelly's not the only one who can quote in her blogs.... although I preferred "Never mess with another man's rhubarb!" from that movie, which looks to be far superior still to any other including the one being released this weekend.

Still, this is the part of my job that sucks. I have to jump through hoops to fire people that ready need it and have to fight for good people not to get laid off. Still, I feel I am stuck out here in the middle of the ocean and don't even have an unlimited supply of Bud Light, a grill and a dog like Cedric. No fun. But hey, that is what they pay me for.

Just for the record, if you have ever wondered if what you are doing or have done with your life is worth while, ask yourself if you went home happy or if you dreaded going. The answers will shed some light.

"One time, at band camp..." I never did anything there, I was too naive. If I could go back though... LOOK OUT!

Still, to be honest, if I could make what I make framing houses, that is what I would be doing. I would be content in that, I think.

I think it isn't wrong to aspire to be unaspiring. We only have one life to live, so live it up. Do what you want before you get saddled with responsibility. I couldn't even grow a decent mustache before I was. Live it up. Do all the things you want to do so you don't end up sitting by yourself at a computer lamenting the fact that another day has passed without you seeing the sun, even though you were out of bed and away from home all day.

I envy the self-employed, slightly less than I love my steady paycheck, but envy them still. The freedom they must enjoy. Throughout the day, the probably do not worry about bills, or deadlines, or interpersonal skills of the knuckleheads that work for them, they just get to do their thing. Sweet!

"There is no spoon" Yeah, well there's a knife, and right about now it is buried to the hilt in my stomach, which I fear is quickly growing quite an impressive ulcer.

"Her womb was a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase" Obviously not true in my case. Of course, neither is "Luke.... I AM your father" cuz Luke's a boy.

Still, I can only dribble for so long before I even get tired of myself. So that is all for today. Let me spell check to please my audience and I will post.
