We are past the mid week hump!

I see the weekend as we steamroll straight ahead in the distance. It's almost there!!! I can't say that it's been a particularly bad week of work. It has been stressful though. I am doing a whole Grass Roots Populist John Edwards thing at work. When people are not following purchasing policy, I am documenting it, and talking to them about it.

This is all fine and good. Save for the fact that I am going to be talking to folks who could be higher up on the food chain, who don't really care. That's the thing with corporate America. Perhaps the recent problems in our economy truly point it out. High and Mid level folks, folks who can make decisions about things truly don't give a sh*t. I saw it during the internet boom, and I see it now.

And it's funny 'cos it's not like Karma ever works out to get 'em (Well maybe in the dude who led Qwest Communications' case it does; Joe Naccio). White collar crime, man. You wear a tie and have a degree, you can get away w/ lot's of mischief. 'Nuf Said
Of course I am not going to refer to my place of business in name. Those who know me, know where I work... I gots to be swift like that

I went for an appointment w/ my Nurse Practitioner who handles a portion of my therapy, and medication. She was impressed in the progress I am making emotionally. People who know me, who know me a long time, know that I've always battled depression, anxiety and stuff like that.

However with a combination of medication, good intensive therapy, a bit of exercise, some self examination and especially the love of a great wife and impending fatherhood.... I am starting to get a hold on emotions that have long had a hold on me.

It's very cool to wake up in a day to know that I'm finally in control of how I feel; and I can talk myself down from high anxiety moments. I truly can not wait to start being a dad!!!:)
