you know i really didn't think a weekend could live up to the amazing trip i had to saint louis, but it did.
well first off i needed that damn vacation. those 6 days kicked me out of my rut i was in. it helped that my house came full circle just in time for vacation. so no stressors and i had days to just relax and not think. because sometimes my problem is that i think to much. so i have a better attitude about work.
i'm not sold on staying with hilton. i kinda keep impressing myself with my computer skills and really jobs for computers are going to be around for along time. so i'm going to start looking into some repair certifications and such. see if i can get a different job with computers. i've also started looking into possibly education. it would require some schooling and a whole new attitude, but it's a thought i keep having.
i'm just really tired of ye ole corporate america. i shake my head in disgrace for how much control and priority our government and populace have given to this soulless monsters. profit focused companies loose site of the human aspect of things. profit focused companies drag out a business transition period for 2 and half years. never mind the ulcers i have. the patience i have lost. the ambition i have squandered and ideas that have laid waste at the foot of oppressive micromanagement decisions.
it better be a fat fucking salary to make my next job a corporate one. fuck this shit.
whew. but stl was great. great. great. great. city museum is the SHIT! i kinda get thrills just thinking about it. museum is a mislabel. this is an adventure in caves and wire mesh mazes. so many interesting things to see and do in that one building.
the fools ball was fun even though it was a lot more low key than the fall ball. but i needed the rest. rachel needed the rest. we enjoyed the time not obligated to something else. :)
so came back to work. started my new schedule. i'm back on 10 hr days and it's okay. by the end of the day i am over work in every way possible. but i really enjoy my third day off. i was so productive last thursday so that i had a stress free awesome weekend.
i have tomorrow off!! yaya! national holiday ya'll! lol
but this past weekend was great. i got to see a bunch of people i haven't in a long time and it made me feel good about myself. i found out i have better computer skills than i give myself credit for by reviving my dad's computer from the dead. i found out how much i dearly missed cleveland. i just miss not having to watch my back. not having to keep my guard up all the time. when i could just waltz down the sidewalk and look at the birds in the trees and not worry about the people coming up behind me or such.
got some great pottery at crosstie. had a blast at the band reunion dance. go to see sheila's new amazing house that i'm completely jealous of. really really awesome house. got back in time to have a great evening with my girl and an even more special morning.
hehe i love spring. i love this energy feeling i get. i love the way the air smells.
i feel more alive in this time frame. and damnit for once i'm having a really great time :)
