early morning rain Sunday night and this morning gave me the quiet time that I needed to put everything that had happened to me at work into perspective. Despite the recent outburst, I do still like my job and have no intentions of leaving anytime soon. Of all the jobs that I've had since college, I have complained the least about my current one. It gives me financial security and something that I can build upon for the future. However, that doesn't mean that certain things couldn't be improved. I also think that having to listen to my twenty-one year old cocky coworker whine for weeks on end had put me on edge. I like to think that I have a better perspctive on the business world than he does and listening to all of his schemes to beat the system were driving me insane. Yes, he did get the position in the other department, but he is upset that he has to wait until June for the transfer to go into effect. My boss said that the move won't happen until the fifteenth, but the coworker is convinced that it will happen on the first. So what this means to me is that I get to watch his attitude get more and more negative in the coming month. Somehow I want him to learn that he can't always get what he wants in life. Even if this means listening to him until the fifteenth of next month, I think that it would be worth it. ... Just as the weatherman had predicted, the early morning rain was gone by noon. So as soon as the sun was out, I started up the grill. Then within an hour or so after I was done the sun disappeared again. I don't think that I could have timed it better than I did. ... A few weeks ago some people that I know had invited me to join them for a boys night out kind of thing. The plan was to hit as many strip clubs as possible in one night and tonight was the night that it was supposed to happen. I didn't go and I have no idea if they went either. Something about strip clubs really bothers me. I've only been to them twice in my life and both times it was because I was with a bachelor party. I just don't like the concept behind them. Besides from what I understand most of the women that work at those places have problems with men and usually hate them. They see it as a power trip over men and gladly take their money. I find all of it to be really sad and I want nothing to do with it. ... Eric the Pilot, a spoken word cd by Henry Rollins, came in the mail today and gave me something to laugh at for an hour. I may not like Henry when he sings, but he does know how to tell a great story and I wouldn't mind having a job like his where he actually believes in what he is doing. The conviction and passion are there when he talks to the crowd and that makes it so much more real to me. Somehow he manages to make his personal experiences feel universal and I wish that I could do that with my life.
