Too much to do, too little Time. I just can't seem to focus these days. Worried about that. In fact, this blog may just be a symptom and not a cure.
I have a store to perfect , a meeting, a technical doucument due today, and I require SLEEP! Nothing is going like I would hope.

I finally got an opportunity to speak with someone on regarding my resume. It was a teaching position -- high school. It sounded wonderful, but apparently there are plenty of out-of-work Ph. D.'s who would take the position. Heh! makes all that money spent on a B.A. look like a waste of time -- a frustration. If the degree isn't a B.S. in Math or Engineering, then forget it. An associates in Therapy would have sent me to a stable job. But nooooo! I had to have a degree in Liberal Arts from a rigorous program with blah, blah blah. I don't regret my decision, but I was not mature enough then to know what I needed. So now I am 35 and so unprepared for this part of my life.

Don't really see how to get it running managable until I have more than -$4.57. Sooooo. Job at Wendy's ends my career track until I can afford it. Then I take a 6 month or perhaps longer, as many have, hiatus. It is sooo distasteful.

I watch as my ambitious counterpart continues to see his life as a chore, to see his wife and children as an aggravation and his only recourse to immerse himself in his work. Each day, he is so very productive, but the breadth of his understanding reaches only as far as his interest. I don't like it.
