Another Entry for June 30, 2007- March 16 blog revisited

I was reviewing some of my entries, and realized I repeated a falsehood- not really a lie, but it feels like it.

I posted in March that my job had been made permanent, but in fact the budget to convert my job was not approved. Things like that happen when someone gets the bright idea to ask for permission to convert me and 16 programmers to full time in the same document.

So for now I am likely to be out of a job next year. I could go back to where I was, but that would suck. Time to revise the resume....

Smart parents like you have smart kids. They need plenty of intellectual stimulation and you provide them with all they need, plus lots of love. You know how to help them with algebra homework, and you are superior at kissing boo-boos.

Entry for June 30, 2007

I was sitting here watching TV ...a habit I do way too much, and was thinking about the news story that has been all day long about "Terror In Glasgow". This was in the background has I started day dreaming.

I closed my eyes and tried to think about what the day is like for my cousin, who is somewhere in the Army. I know he did two tours of duty to Iraq, and because he is basically in some weird unit, we don't hear from him too much. I hope he is well.

One of the new shows I watch is John From Cincinnati . I notice that HBO also has a web site related to this show called John Monad. I thought Monad was a odd name, so I looked it up: The word monad is used by the neo-Platonists to signify the One; for instance, in the letters of the Christian Platonist Synesius, God is described as the Monad of Monads.

Given that the show has a semi-spiritual /paranormal theme going on, I can not even pretend to know where it is going, which is probably why I watch it.

The rest of my life is pretty routine, which bugs me some times. Get up, fix breakfast, get ready and go to work, stop at the grocery on the way home about everyother day because I get a phone call to remind me we are out of this or that, clean up after dinner, watch TV, fall asleep; wakeup and go to bed; wakeup and repeat. The only difference in this routine is the clothes I put on, and the weekend cycle, which is instead of going to work involves running to Target, Cosco, etc...I dont mind all this...just I do enjoy changing the pace once and awhile. Maybe thats why I take vacation 3 times a year!
