I made a decision…now the job has to catch up.

Dateline – Syracuse, NY - I have come to grips that if the right job comes along, I am going to jump at it. Why, some might ask? After all, the company treats you well (they do!), the people are good (they are) and the product will come along in time (aye…there’s the rub)

At the end of the day, I have to ask myself if I want to NOT look forward to going to work for the next 18-36 months. And I think 18 is being very optimistic. As I got up this morning, I felt depressed looking to having my head handed to me again today. I am told that this isn’t a reflection on me. I take each of these personally when an install goes crazy. And they ALL go crazy right now. Not just mine. ALL of them. (Some are just a little less crazy than others.)

On top of that, some of my co-workers who have always taken the Alfred E Neumann approach, “What, me worry?” have begun to voice concerns. And when these folks are concerned, well, let’s just say the head of the horse is in the glue factory. Could he still pull his head?? Yes, but I am not confident that the horse is that strong willed. As I said in an earlier post, if I am gong to work that hard and put that much energy into this, there has to be some WIIFM.

Right now, I am not seeing it.

I probably opened up a bit of a hornet’s nest this weekend. A few weeks back, I got a call stating that there was a small sum of money that my Dad had invested and what did I want to do with it? My reply was a gazebo at our church that was dedicated to both my Dad and Mom. But I have a brother and a sister who rightfully has a say in it. My sister definitely wants the money. She indicated it would be for the “grandkids”, but I am not sure if it would really end up there. But that is HER deal and not really of a concern to me. I hadn’t spoken to my brother about it till last night and he just acted strange. He made a couple of comments in his typical way that says, I want to make decisions, but don’t want accountability or responsibility. I am going to have to wrestle with that one for a few days. Meditation is definitely in order.

All of a sudden, I am getting serious about buying not one, but two more houses. Maybe even three. Stay tuned.

Enough for now. TTFN
