The anatomy of the brain is extremely important.
I read that today, and now so did you. |
I woke up and the open window and two fans (one blowing in one blowing out) and the 3 AM peace (not always the case around here) triggered this feeling of melancholy that I used to get when I stayed at my grandmother’s place in the country in the summer when I was a kid. I always wanted to stay in Atlanta during the summer but without school my mom knew I had to be sent out of my abusive alcoholic father’s reach. I’ve always had this incredible knack for ignoring **** that others find incredible I don’t know but I really don’t know what state it was in but it was close to Pittsburgh. My cousins lived in Pittsburgh and when I got too out of my mind with boredom I’d head to Pittsburgh. My cousins were wild. My grandmother would try to stop me from going to Pittsburgh but I’d just go. This was like when I was 13-16. I started spending chunks of my summer with my grandmother before that but she lived in a weird small town in Georgia. I met some kids my age in that town. They tried to be nice to me but I never made any effort to make friends. I didn’t want to be friends with kids from that dilapidated sad little redneck town. Even as a kid I preferred my own company. On reflection, that was definitely my loss. But anyway, if anyone is still reading this, the flashback to that place in the country made me yearn for that kind of melancholy. It was a normal healthy lonely sorrow. I’m nostalgic for that sort of connection to my humanity. My depression these days doesn’t feel human. I have alien sadness. Space sorrow.

Got up, thought "I'm going to work out how to conquer great wealth, great work-to-life balance and general happiness". Then realised, "oh @@@p, I've got rent to pay." Dropped the kids off, went to the daily grind. Came home 8 hours later, picked up the kids, had dinner, collapsed on the couch, thought abit more about that happiness quest some more... didn't come up with anything... went to sleep. Rince... repeat. :D

I washed my Jeep on Tuesday. I spent a little time on it to get everything nice and sparkly too. Yesterday, I got an email from a new salesman here stating that he needed me to draw up plans for a custom trailer for a large 3D printer that would be going to South America. He said he had everything all drawn up and measured. In the email, it also stated that there would be a meeting and they needed the drawings by "Noon tomorrow". I was unaware that this email was created the day before. So, here it is 11am and I'm looking at his stick figure crap drawings that are drawn on a big piece of cardboard, and things aren't adding up. So, I ask him where this trailer we're to modify is and he says it's in the lot across the street. So, here I go off down this long-ass dirt road, which is more like an off-road trail than anything (good thing I have a Jeep, right?), and get the proper dimensions and head back to complete this CAD drawing, all while holding off on another project that is due by 1pm the same day, and I also had to get a RTD system programmed and packed up for a facility in Connecticut. The trailer mod drawings were emailed at 11:51am, other project completed at 12:45, and the RTD system was programmed and packed just as the team were about to head out to the site.
My Jeep is filthy and I wasted $6 on a DIY car wash. Not a good first impression, new guy. |
