going to mars Clouds started to obscure the moon as I drove west into work last night. Looking even further west lightning could be seen. A storm was rolling in from Iowa and part of me wished that I could stay home and watch it from my window. ... Last night was the end of my work week and I have to say that it ended on a somewhat sour note. As with most companies there is a hierarchy where I work or to put it another way some people have more authority than others. Most of the time I can just let this go. This morning though a person from another department who in some ways is higher than mine was pushing my patience. He made a change to some of our equipment this morning while I was on lunch and he didn't bother to tell me. Now this might have been fine except for the fact that whatever he did to the equipment didn't work right and caused me an hour or two worth of problems. Then when I asked him if he made any changes, he wouldn't confess to having done anything. Quite simpy he lied to me and that made it even worse in my mind. I have no idea what motivates this man to act this way. Maybe he is insecure and feels that this is the only way that he can keep his job. If he doesn't tell anyone what he is doing then everyone has to come to him to get something fixed. What I do know is that I hope that I never become someone like him. I think that he is pathetic and sadly the world is filled with people just like him. ... As contradictory as this might sound, work only truly bothers me when I am there. It is still something that I can forget about the moment that I walk out the door. My job is not my life. Nor do I have time for office politics. I have other more important things to do in life.
