I’ve been sitting around for the past few days and have thought of little but at the same time I’ve found that my mind is in constant motion. It appears that I am just waiting for time to pass and for things to happen rather than trying to get out there and make things happen. I wonder if I should stop the pacifism and get more agressive with the way that I treat my life. Then again, I have been told that I can be a bit of a jerk at times.
At work I’m at a bit of an impass as the majority of my work is done here. I really won’t have any major projects to complete before I leave, all that I need to do now is wait until August when I can get the heck out of here. I have been busy the past week and the work has been great. In case you aren’t aware, if you can keep me busy at work I really don’t mind it all that much but I really wouldn’t do it for free… it is work afterall.
As long as everything goes through as planned, I should be home in November/December of this year for a weekish and then home again next year for a period of time yet to be determined. I know that with my personality type that there is only so much time I can spend sitting around content doing nothing. After that, I know that I need to keep busy or the boredom will take me down for the count. So, I was thinking that maybe next year when I go home I should find something that I can volunteer for to take up my time for a week or two. I wonder how hard it is to get involved with habitat humanity or something of the like. I don’t think I’ll have the type of fundage to go do something really cool but I’d also like to take a trip to Russia before it becomes closed off again. I’ve talked to a few people and they’ve said that the policies in place in that country are starting to form a new rift with ours. Its not communism but their business and social practices among other things.
Ole girl is out of town for a few weeks so I’ve got to do some cleaning around my house and get rid of as much crap as I possibly can. Last night I went through one of my closets and threw away almost two weeks worth of garbage. Its a shame that I didn’t do it the night before as I had plenty of room left in my trash can. If you didn’t know, here in my local council (think of it as a small chunk of a county) they only pick up trash every other week. I alternate trash pickup with recycling and you only get one bin each. There is no size varienty. WYSIWYG.
I was once told by my dad about something he said while at work. He said “its insane to do the same thing repeatedly and expect to get different results” or a close approximation of that. I wrote something in one of the letters for our big inventory the other day that was similar to that but slightly… meaner. They made me change the entire paragraph around so that the truth didn’t sting quite as bad. Its a shame… it was good… here’s a chunk
All of these discrepancies can be attributed to mistakes made while processing … Obviously, given that the number of discrepancies has not decreased since the last inventory, it is known that the current system … …is ineffective. … … Continuing to use the same system without change would most likely result in no positive impact on the discrepancies seen here. Repeating the same process in the same fashion and expecting different results is ludicrous.
I originally used the term insane but I thought of Space Balls for a half a second and thought using ludicrous was a much better option.
