...... Then work got in the way. I have always said "Disappointment comes from expectations". Now that's one of those things that I think I've always said. I have no clue if I've heard it from somewhere or what, but I say it. So like it or don't, I don't give a damn. What I do know is that no one would be disappointed of there weren't expectations in the world. Pretty easy to understand, so no examples are necessary. I believe nothing is more truer, than associating that statement, with work. For some, every day is a joyous day with pretty rainbows, and perfect weather, and friendly people. Well gooooooooood for you, we are all so happy for ya! For the rest of us, we judge most days by how bad work was. Not to say that there aren't great days, which I'm sure is true for most, but, its the expectation of a good day to come, which is the dagger in the back for your work day.
Started off great today. I was going to be doing wood work, again, by myself, in an area which could best be described as "serene." I honestly could not wait to get the day started. Wasn't thinking about how soon til the end of the day, wasn't thinking about lunch, just wanted to get to work! Twenty-two minutes into the day and I get a call saying I was changing locations, and was going to go do good ol heavy lifting, and aiding two fine co-workers, as to make sure they were working diligently. Son, of, a, bastard!!!!! I was so close, well not really, 22 minutes into the day really wasn't close to much, but I felt like I was close to having one of those few "good days". Then, as I drove away from the "serene", it dawned on me, my motto. Disappointment comes from expectations, the full expectation of having an all around good day! Thus, setting myself up for disappointment. Not to say one cant look forward to things, I believe that's the heart of life, looking forward to the future. But I, I looked to far ahead.
My advise would surely not be to not expect good in life. But when it comes to work, and you know, you know that deep down good days are few and far between, expect little, and disappoint less. Real heavy shit there huh? Yea, I agree, not really. I just would like to think work, on a regular would be so much nicer, if I didn't from time to time, try and foresee my day. Ever happen to any of you? I mean I cant be the only one. On a less bitter note, I would like to thank the people from the multiple countries that have read this blog. I have no fuckin clue how they are getting this, but shit, thank you. And if its just some cruel sick joke from the blog host, F you man, my hopes were high!! And if its not a joke, and you are in one of those countries, comment! Let me know where you are! And Nate, don't lie, I know you are in Richmond. I'm so hungry I could ride a horse. I don't get it. Well, I could ride it to the store, I guess.
