So October is halfway gone. Fantastic.
My amigos and I have completed (to varying degrees of success) six episodes of LP120. The show has been a good experience for me so far. I have learned much including how out there some people can be. Honestly, some of the things people have written on the boards during the show are just plain nutty. But that’s ok because nothing says nutty like politics it would seem. I can now officially start looking at everything that is going wrong and like Boxer in Animal Farm dig my feet into the task at hand and say “I must work harder”. I am debating if it is worth it. I don’t really enjoy having to talk over people on a show where I sit in the Host’s chair. And I am not satisfied where it is going. Maybe I can change it in time. If not I will have to revamp the entire enterprise.
When it comes to work-work, that thing that pays the bills, it is continuing to string along. We are losing the battle but winning the war. It is hard to feel like a winner while losing. I can only stay motivated that the ethical activities of my superiors and the quality work of our enterprise will overcome the current economic situation. I am confident that my team is far from the chopping block that is the singing sword of layoffs, but that confidence does little to swage the disheartenment of my fellows who see our recent loses as a harbinger of darker tides to come. To wit, it is a hard pill to swallow, being the beneficiary of policies that you do not agree with because of the nature of your employment. It is a small but aggravating pain to indebted and sustained by the actions of big government so rightly detested. If not for what is owed and must be paid, I would shrug the atlas.
