Joby's BlogBlog of a Bald Fat Guy

It is 5:52 am and I am already so full of anxiety I could scream.

So much to do so little time.

I still have not fixed the dryer which means my wife has to lug all of our clothes to her mothers [or to the laundromat.]

Two of the 3 youth who sing for us at CE time have opted to go spend time with another Church.  One won hand that is great cause they get to do something awesome with a group of kids their age, but on the other hand, where is their since of commitment?

I have been thinking about seeing a doctor. Although the periods of high tension and outbursts of anger have become less of the past few weeks, when they happen, they happen with more force.  Time to talk to someone about my low self esteem and anger issues.

The above comments a probably new to many of you as I don’t normally talk about myself so personally, but if you read my posts, I am sure the evidence is there.

It is Friday afternoon and I am sitting at soccer practice with Nick. Kim has Donovan on the swings.

I just finished a very interesting week for work. As many of you know I was instructed to work from home due to the G20 Summit being in Pittsburgh this week.

I have honestly always wanted to work from home. I enjoy working at my pace without the distraction of other people.

That is not to say that I don’t like working with people I just have my preferences.

Anyway…

I enjoyed waking up early and working in my home office in silence. Not hearing the music from the cube next to me, or other office distractions.

I was able to get my focus back. I have slowly been losing it over the past few months. With new job requirements and all.

In my opinion I was more productive this week. Not only at work related activities, but also with my personal coding and work around the house.

I did lose the hour long commute each way so I gained 10 hours this week .

I hope I can carry my new found focus back into the workplace.

That is what the license plate on the car infront of me said.

I was in line at the drive-thru at McDonald’s this morning when I saw it.

To be honest I have seen it before on the highway on the way to work, but tis is the first time I have seen the car not moving.

The driver got his food and then proceded to exit via the enter only lane. I assume that he finds himself better than most and that the two big do not enter signs could NOT have been placed there for him.

Any way I figure he is in a hurry and just wanted to save the 10 seconds it takes to drive around the building to the exit. I also figured that it would be the last I would see of the plate today.

Wrong!

On both accounts actually.

I got my food, drove around to the exit, got on the highway and BAM there he was. Driving 10mph below the speed limit.

I don’t know why I find this so disturbing. I simply can’t understand the mentality of people today.

Why exit where it is marked not to? Why creep up passed the ’stop here on red’ signs? Why pass me at 80mph only to pull infront of me and slow down?

So as I think of that license plate I have to think that it fits most drivers today.

” ‘WHAT’ ? You mean I am not the only driver who matters? ”
