I've been kind of MIA, in the online sense. I'm pretty sure this has been the longest I've gone between blog posts and generally speaking, it's been for a reason. Life at work took a turn. Busy? Yes. Sucky? Yes. In fact, the last you heard from me was via Blackberry updates from Vegas, a trip I've not yet even chronicled. When I returned home from that trip, things just got so incredibly messy. I've worked for my company for 18 years and I've never been so busy wading through a clusterfuck so large in my entire life.
Will things die down? I sure as shit hope so.
July's poker has been just as bad. Is it related to everything else going on? It would be hard to say no.
I thought yesterday was going to be the last straw. I had a meeting with my direct superior to talk about how poorly one of my managed projects was received by the user base. My wife called me mid-morning in tears because she lost, YES LOST, her last month's paycheck somehow. I went home and promptly lost online playing 2-7 triple draw, which is at least a fun game for me to play and learn right now.
Mentally, I'm exhausted. That exhaustion translated directly to me physically, and after a while I felt just absolutely wiped out. I was approaching my limitations in enduring what was going on around me. So much so that I checked Expedia for one-way tickets to Brazil. Well, not really, I could never leave the wife and kids. But still, a far simpler life awaits me somewhere. Most likely, somewhen. When I retire and the kids are out of the house, I plan on relaxing like no man has ever relaxed before.
Until then, I'll update when I can and dodge bullets when I can't.
