It's been a busy, last several weeks. My Dell laptop crashed about a month and a half ago. I thought I had a serious stressed episode at work, which caused me to lose the peripheral vision. Now, I am testing out my new glasses with progressive bi-focals, the first time I am wearing bi-focals. So there has been a few minor changes in my life.
At work, there was a team member that passed away because of cancer. He was working when I first arrived at the location that I work at, when I was in training for the company I work for right now. It made me ponder a few long-term values that I believe in, about what type of legacy will I leave behind with those around me. It made me think about what I would like others say about me when I am no longer on earth? What legacy have I left behind?
In any business, now, it's a fight for long-term comfort to be the best, executed business in the city. With the different changes happening in the business climate, mandated health care, or not next year, but eventually, will definitely affect all aspect of business in general. This is the business that I am committed to for my livelihood. It is my goal that this will be the last company that I will work for.
There was a time when I wanted to be a journalist, to be an individual who recorded interesting stories that goes on around in the world. I knew, though, that I could not take very good detail notes to quote the newsmakers accurately. Realizing the current state of our journalistic corp, it's not the type of journalism I envisioned. Journalists are supposed to be a critic of government excesses; that is not happening at all. Because they want to retain their sources, they choose not to be too critical of their sources.
So that is what I've been up to, since I haven't posted for a while. I will have more details to come. I am still praying for a job that I can incorporate to what I'm looking for.
