I don't think I've logged on here since Wednesday.
And, I'm not missing it.
When life changes come at you fast and you're too busy trying to deal with the reality around you, a place like VR simply doesn't have the hooks to be a priority.
I thought I would miss it, but honestly, I hadn't even thought about it until I saw Morri doing make-up on VR webcam.

I like this new project manager. He is young, bright, knows how to build a process and communicates clearly.
His remark about the person that has been.. 'helping' us for the pas few weeks:
She speaks as she thinks. And apparently she thinks in circles, so the fact that she keeps talking... it's not good.

...a profile full of quizzes is almost doubly annoying when the quiz results are full off typos, misspellings and bad grammar.

Two day old coffee.
I'm tired and lazy...

Listening to a plane fly over as it takes off from BUF... wondering what I might be missing.
Sometimes it is tough not to look at opportunities, or past mistakes and wonder. I know these things can't be changed, and maybe they were the right decisions after all... but it makes me wonder.
Sitting on the back deck, enjoying a beer and leftover nachos. Today was a long day. Up at 3:30 - my alarm was set for 4:00, but the dogs were barking, and I knew they needed to go out.
Got to my first job a little after 5:00. Got to the 2nd one a little before 7:00. Got to the new job at 8:00. Long day. Skipped the other contract after work in favor of running some errands... I couldn't handle the ridiculousness of that job after today.
It all lends more into the thoughts and wonders...
A little back story - I was always interested in photography. My father was a hobbyist - not really intensely into it, but he enjoyed it and from there I learned some of the skills... growing up in my house wasn't always the easiest. I know many had worse, but the negativity wore on me. As I got into high-school I looked for activities, other than sports, that would get me out of the house more often. Photography! I joined the Yearbook and school paper staff as a photographer. A good friend of mine was the lead student - she was awesome and she gave me as many jobs as I could handle. In my junior year there were six photographers on staff and we had to split events and other activities accordingly but that year there wasn't a single page in the yearbook that didn't have one of my photographs on it.
And the cameras were old and clunky. No automatic anything - most of our shots were black & white film because it was cheaper and we could do our own developing. But I loved doing it.
Fast forward almost 20 years - my photography took a way, way, way back seat to other endeavors, until I met Morri. She has taught me so much about photography - most importantly, how to love it again.
I ponder that as well.
With the twists and turns my life has taken, is it more than a coincidence that I met Morri? Is it more than happenstance that she is such an awesome artist with a camera? Is there something in the cosmos pushing me back toward something I once loved so much, for a reason?
I wonder... what if?

More strange dreams. I was trying to organize a baseball game between some big corporate entity and some government organization...
...even though it was requested by the government, they kept changing directives without telling me and keeping me from information I needed telling me it was secure. Information like, field schedules and parking lot usage...
...Oh, this shall be a helluva day.

I had a dream last night that I took a trip on the Space Shuttle to the moon.
It was discovered the lack of atmosphere there really didn't affect people at all as long as they breathed in some oxygen every couple of minutes. So as I walked around, I carried this box of an oxygen rich gel... and when I started feeling dizzy, I would just stick my face into it and breathe for a while.
*head shake*

Exactly what I need to do - waste more time trying to get yet another customer to pay their invoices.
I need to start billing consulting fees with a line item such as:
"Bullshit dealt with because of you thinking you're somehow exempt from the rules we all have to live by: $150"

...if you hear a very loud, but distant scream of frustration... it's probably just me.
Don't be alarmed. I'll be ok shortly.

I chalk it up to: Not being able to get the same perspective.
With everything we're working on now and all the shit we're going through, who rated who is really not a priority we can identify with.
VR isn't meaningless but some of the people sure seem like it sometimes...
