OmniBlog

I had every intention of creating this blog both as a means of communication to my friends and family and also as creative outlet. I think that so far I have mostly failed in both endeavors. As far as a means of communication I think that basically I just post a little something every now and then to let everyone know that I am actually still alive. God knows that they would otherwise hardly hear it directly from me. I mean who has time for phone calls let alone lengthy e-mails/ letters (do people still send the analogue communiques)? How does life get so busy that it becomes so easy to neglect the things that are supposed to be important to us. Honestly, I didn’t sign up for this…where is the cruise director? I’d like to file a complaint! Seriously I can hardly even believe that the summer is already over. Perhaps this being labor day week-end is a perfect time to re-evaluate what place exactly one’s career is supposed to take in one’s life. Time is altogether too short here on this sweet little blue orb of ours for me to let it cause me this much stress. A lesson that I have been reminded of quite frequently of late. First the husband of one of my close colleagues had a serious heart attack about two weeks ago and subsequently had triple bypass followed by lots of complications (they are hoping he can go home tomorrow). Today one of the contractors that works for me had to make an emergency trip back to India after receiving news that his mother had passed away. Meanwhile, we are in the midst of ramping up so major upgrade projects and somehow all of that just seems to pale in importance. I have no doubt this project will be successful, it just might be with out me. I have begun looking for greener pastures and this past Thursday I had a pretty positive interview, so I have my fingers crossed that it will work out.
