Moral lesson

Business and trust are two words that should never be used in the same sentence, because they are mutually exclusive. I may never be able to regain all of the mental energy that I have wasted at the company, but I can try not to do it in the future. Repeating mistakes is not a personal goal of mine.

All that I have left to endure is five days. After that time I can just walk away and never have to deal with it again. Nothing will remain, but a few lines on my resume.

Last night I managed to get to the comic book store for the second time this year and it felt good. I do not drown my sorrows in alcohol and cigarettes. Comic books are my slightly less potent form of addiction.

I was paged twice tonight by work and I had to laugh. One moment I am dismissed as being not good enough to help, but the next moment I am their only hope. Without going into too much detail, let me just say that I am in charge of some security matters at work that only three people can perform. Nick is one of the other people and he is still out of town so I moved up the escalation ladder. After a brief discussion they felt that they could get around the problem without me coming in to work.

I will not miss that place at all. The key to their failure will be lack of organization.
