SLC almost the city for me
i really like it here. those mountains are fab, i can hardly believe them. they sneak up from you only from one side. i almost feel like they follow me like they are out to get me. like in the movies, someone is inside the garbage can following some person and every time the person turns around the can is the same distance behind everytime. yeah, that is my take on it.
the capitol building is beautiful. but it's a big,huge,warm,empty building and a homeless man is sitting outside. he was playing the harmonica, i am a sucker for it. i wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home. poor old guy. this is the mormon state, why is there a single homeless person here? i don't understand it at all. i gotta do something to help. it is just burning really.
i was watching the jazz play thinking about the homeless guy and his dog outside the building. i would venture to say people forgot about him before they were 10 feet away. i just can't do it. i can't forget those people. i can forget the commercials about what my penny a day will do and everything else but not those that cannot afford a roof over their head. i know some people put themselves in the position but it's just something no one deserves. even criminals have shelter, food, and the basic needs of life. i also can't handle old people being in this condition, they have paid their dues for "this country". i want a career path based on helping these conditions... i wish i had a million dollars. i wish i could walk up to someone and say here is your free pass. here is a house, here is a car, here is a job and this is your turn again.
i am not sure that rant belonged in this post because i want to say how much fun i have had. amber, my new co worker, is pretty cool. i didn't know about her till this trip but we get along just fine. it has been great to see justin, poor thing has not had a visitor the whole time he has been here and that counts coming home from iraq twice. i cant help but hold a grudge against his parents for not being here when he came home. he has been excited to show me around and i am happy i could be here for it. he showed me his base and the machines he works on. it looks pretty complicated. he hasnt told his family that he resigned. after hearing his reasoning about actually liking his job, i wasn't upset. however, he has to go back to iraq again in may. i thought the airforce didn't have to do that as often but this is his thrid trip. well one of them was volunteer to keep a coworker that was expecting his first child from having to go. so i guess only twice by force. anywho, it's been great to see his world. my job is good for something.
i dont like to complain about my job on here bc it is engraved in my mind at all times so no need to write it down but it's not going so great. today was very slow at the tradeshow...hardly any potential clients. such a waste of money and time for our company. plus i know amber is watching me to report back to mwg folks about how much i know. i am being so shy because jeff, this big mouthed sales rep for us, is stealing the show. i cant fight with someone for attention from a customer, seems pointless. he is one of those that likes to hear himself talk. oh well, that is IT, not saying another word.
i am ready to be home, i miss my bed and time zone. all this traveling has put me off kilter so to say and things just don't feel right... however it has provided perspective. i am going to read through a book that will tell me what career fits me. i know a lot of those things are bogus but i am hoping for the best. i gotta decide by september, hopefully earlier but doubtful... what i am doing with me.
i need to get in bed, well to sleep anyway.
oh oh suppose you'll never know....
