A speaker mentioned that by following God, two brothers traveled through fertile land. When faith was lost; they fell into the desert.
My work has placed me into a spot of no cultural or spiritual wealth. Everyday feels more like a battle for...

All Nighter
Tomorrow, I have to fly all night. For tonight, I’ll be staying awake until 5am with Wilfred, Louie, Dr. Who, and The Hour.
Today has been weird. I’m taking tonight as off as I can.

Still Human, After all
Last week I did 70 hours (and the past 3 weeks as well). Saturday evening I felt like a husk of a person. This week should be just as long.
I need to figure out a way to manage this and maintain my character, passion, and be something more than a zombie for work.

Liberally placing smilies in most of your emails is a good way to appear unprofessional and unable to effectively communicate.

Careful what you ask for...

The kitchen was flooded and the water filtration system is no longer cooperating. I went to the basement to check on the softener and filtration unit only to find a steady drip of water coming from the ceiling and insulation hanging down.

Done
All day, I’ve been stuck in first gear. It’s been very unproductive in the sense I did not accomplish the one thing I wanted to.
It’s over now.

I worked with a man who looked like Dr. Teeth today.

The Good Life
I’m sitting on the floor of my den listening to the sounds of thunder and rain while watching Revenge Of The Pink Panther with my fiancé and nieces while we play Killer Bunnies.
My work days have gotten exceedingly long and times like these remind me more than ever to prioritize things.
