so i have been working hard recently, and i have begun to wonder why hard work does not always pay. i mean, sometimes things just aren't fair, and that SUCKS. i guess i could take the optimistic approach and say that hard work pays off in one way or another (for example, you build self-confidence and self fulfillment.). but seriously, who the hell cares about feeling good about yourself? i want money or status or promotions or something other than just feeling good about my work. perhaps for some that does the trick, but not for me. at least not here recently.

just thinking about things. hmmmmmm.

so i tipped a little poorly the other day. i did not intend to do so, for i usually always manage 20%, regardless. i got a bit distracted this day, however, due to the lunch rush, the folks i was eating with, and the hastiness of the server. i just sorta added a buck and some change to make it an even bill and left. when i reflected on it later, i realized that i tipped about 13%. oops. i hope that the others i ate with gave extra. the service was not phenomenal, by any means, but i just feel a little ashamed. like, if i was seen by this waiter again, he would most likely not want to serve me because my tip would be sad. forgive me waiter?? hope so. 

so i recently found out that this young gal at work is the eye candy for an older gentleman, which is in charge of many things in the department. she is somewhat like an intern. he should NOT be going for someone of her age/rank.besides, she is completely too good for him, even if it was an option. she, however, is completely clueless to anything and everything--how classic. she just plays the ditz role. she is smart, though. yet she tends to fall into the cute, but not the brightest crayon in the box category. fortunate for her, it appears that she is getting a bit of special treatment due to this....although, as mentioned, she doesn't put it all together. i am not the only one who gets this vibe. it has been a bit of a gossip source for the past few days, and it has been a topic of others in more direct contact with the supervisor for quite some time. i am a bit slow at catching these things at times. actually, i prefer to think that i think the best of others and don't immediately jump to such conclusions. but looking back on a lot of things, it is very evident that he would love to be a cradle robber, hooking up with such a cutie. ha! she would have to be completely out of her mind to go for such, yet i guess odder things have happened! we'll see how this plays out in the coming months.

i'm a little sad that memphis did not pull off the big win last night. it would have been a great end to a wonderful season. oddly enough, even though the team won more games in one season than anyone else in the ncaa, they did not win the big one in the end! it must be the curse of having the most wins, the other teams with the previous record (84, i believe) did not win the championship. sucks to be the guy(s) who missed the FREE throws at the end. also, it sucks big time that the refs took back the 3 pointer, making it a 2 pointer, which we could call a direct result of them losing by 1. blah!

How many hours a week do you spend playing video games?

i do not participate in any game playing. i do, however, know many folks who spend 3-4 hours a day playing video games. my life is just more interesting than that. i have more things--better things i might add--- to occupy my time. reading is a good thing, making you more educationally sound. do video games do that? i am sure some dumb ass out there could think of some things that video games can/should/will teach you, but those are not the games folks play for 6 hours straight. i think anyone who spend more than 1 1/2 hours being absorbed in a video game (on-line or off) should be drug out in the street and shot. we would not lose too much of a pro-active, self-improving individual.

tune in later and i will tell you how i really feel :o)

How do you think having siblings (or not having siblings) affects who you are as a person?

siblings are a must. most people i know that are an only child are more self-absorbed than the rest of the "i have a sibling" world. not really their fault, just a result of never really having to share time/attention/things with another child. this is a good question to ponder.

i seriously want to know why crazy people try to take on big endeavors? why try to run your own business when you are so socially awkward and nuts that you can barely manage yourself, much less issues outside of your self. i hate folks who are only able to pursue such silly endeavors because for some odd reason they have money. seriously, i want to scream. just take care of it. move on. get over it. manage the situation; stop being a crazy! my life is just fine without you. 

i'm debating with myself about making a decision. no one really knows that i am pondering it (outside of a few very close individuals). ultimately, i am the only on who can take the plunge on the matter, which really sucks. i would love for the decision to be made for me. stepping up and making a choice is my role only {sigh}. now, i'm just looking for the moxie and the wisdom to make it.....................

we'll see. fortunately, i've got some time. need to study up on the options- pros and cons. perhaps make one of those dorky outlines that help me weigh my options. does anyone ever really do that?
