Today... like most days at work, was draining. As much as I don't like the politics at my job, I'm wondering why I get involved in it. Deep down, I think I can bring about something positve in the workplace. I hope it won't be at the expense of my well-being in the workplace.
I spoke to my dad briefly and like many conversations with him, it was draining. He told me about a cousin of mine that is having twins. I love anything twin related, but I was a little sad to hear that she is not finishing college, or at least not at this time. I was set on finishing my bachelors degree... the only thing I would change now is going to graduate school right after my undergraduate studies. Sometimes it feels like you need to have at least a Masters to get a really nice job. I know to live comfortably my family needs to bring in six figures plus. Years ago a one-hundred thousand dollar family income was a lot. Not these days. After taxes, insurance and other deductions, mortage, car note, utilities, gas, etc., that amount of money for a family of four is not a lot. Don't get me wrong, I know that there are plenty of families that live comfortably on less money. What gets in our way is the satellite bill, phone bill, cellphone bill, etc... not necessities but rather luxuries and you get used to these luxuries and they become part of your daily life. I would probably lose my mind if I didn't have power like thousands of people in the Missouri and Illinois area right now.
Got off topic there. So yeah she is having twins in February 2007.
Then my dad started talking about some of the rough things going on my life right now and then I felt absolutely drained. I just listened.
This weekend I have a couple of projects to work on.
At least today is Friday.
