A blah day...

I don't know what it was today but it was just so...MEH. Nothing special happened, good or bad, it was just a strange day. Oh well I guess we all have them. My problem is my mind works over time, without any real assistance from yours truly, and it's nonstop. I don't know how else to explain it. It picks apart all plans, dreams, and ideas. It finds the worst in every situation and tries to encompass all possible solutions. Yet it wears me out no matter what the outcome.

On a brighter side of things I did dig into my Masters program application package. I forgot I had it so I went through it today and there are many great options for me to look forward to. So that was extremely nice to take my mind off of...well everything. I'm sure with this Masters under my belt in a couple of years my professional value will soar. I just have to focus and plan on missing out on a few choice things over the next two years or so.

I went to my parents tonight while my wife was in class. She works so hard it makes me tired. All go and no stop...I can tell she's found her passion in photography. It was great to see my mom tonight, I haven't seen her in about a week. I'm a mamas boy so that was quite a while for me. My dad is just melting away before our eyes. He's looking good, a little stiff still but doing well. I can't wait until he goes to get some new clothes in a few months. That will be good times all around. We can have a good laugh and he will amaze himself.

Off to bed for some reading. The way my mind is still churning I might blog again later, I might not so we'll see how the 'sleeping' thing goes.

Good news

Well a week full of Monday's has brought me to some good news. Last week a position in our department became available and it's something I feel like I could do well. I applied for it even though I don't quite meet the requirements. I would like to move up in the company but I'm not looking to stay forever. This would be a great chance for me to gain experience and have a job that meshes with my Masters that I will be getting.

That being said today I was pulled aside this afternoon and was told that even through all the drama of last week I handled myself professionally and took responsibility for my mistakes and fixed said mistakes. This position has had many applicants but my name is on the list and I do have a good working relationship with my company and boss so I'm hoping my name will be placed higher on the list. There were no promises made or any wink wink nudge nudge type actions. He was just letting me know that I would be good for the job. And you know what, it's kind of nice to know every once in awhile that your actions are being noticed even though you have to suffer through hoping for change.

Strange but hey it's how I roll as they say. So I'm hopeful that I can get this position for several reasons: experience in a field I hope to move up in, it will allow me to have a job and get my masters that goes with the job, and it will help my wife and I have an all around better life.

So I got that going for me...which is niiiice!
