I think my favorite part about this whole blog is the responses. I love being able to vent and get things off my chest with what is ticking me off, but when something is bugging me and I get feedback that helps, that makes my day. Sometimes it isn't what I want to hear, but then what ever is always what you want.
I got into the discussion with DJ sometime in the last couple days (my time sense is kinda screwy right now since I am sort of working second shift, but I go home and take naps in the afternoon) about how I don't think it is realistic to expect to be happy all the time. Nor would I ever want to get what I want all the time. How could I know the difference between happy and sad? It doesn't help that I am listening to 'Timequake' by Kurt Vonnegut (Jr I think) and he was talking about implications. Like to have nothing, you must have something to compare it to; dark implies light, up implies down, good implies evil, and happy implies sad. If I was happy all the time, how would I really know what happiness was and how could I appreciate it? I want the choice to be sad or angry or hurt so that when I feel good and am happy and excited, I have something to compare it to. Is that too much to ask for? Sometimes I wonder. But then, as an almost Engineer, I will be expected to wonder to get paid. yeah... back to work. I really don't like working second shift when I have projects that all happen in the morning.
