Somedays

 I usually get to work early and sit in my car for about 15 minutes.  I just don't want to get out of the car, walk through the terminal and start doing my job.  Chasing metrics or reducing cost.  That's pretty much all I do.  That and maintain positive relationships with other stakeholders and business partners.  That's fun to a degree - but justifying all the other "failures" when getting a plane here on time is a rarity instead of a basic expectation.  But whatever.

A friend of mine says "Work is a four letter word."  He's right about that.  I sometimes wonder if I made the right decision to pursue my current position.  I was so much happier in my previous role, living minutes from the ocean.  Being able to walk on the beach whenever I wanted for free - when there are other people spending thousands of dollars to do the same thing.  It was a charmed life.  

And it got boring after a while.  The professional challenges weren't there.  The station was running like clockwork.  

Should have stuck to the original plan and had my wife join me at the end of the last school year and just live a simple/semi-retired life.

Instead - I chose to come back to a city I hate with segments of the population I despise.  I don't like the liberal polyticks or the progressive fruit cake culture.

I am waiting for the day my former colleague gets promoted and I will apply for my old job.  Either that or quit all together and go do something else.

Bidenomics is a complete disaster unless you're poor or "under represented."  Something had to give to maintain a semblance of our former economic position in society.  And this is it.

Life was so much better for that demented communist took office.  He destroyed America as we know it in  3.5 years.  With the help of his cronies.  Is it past the point of no return?  Almost?  Probably?  I don't know.

Unleash energy production in America.  Prices will fall for nearly everything.  The GND is communist.  Those who champion the GND are either mentally ill enviroterrorists or pollyannas wishing for a world with reduced greenhouse gasses.  Dummies.  They should concentrate on planting trees and preserving greenspaces.  It's probably the best thing they could do for the environment.  The only thing liberals see about the green new deal is dollar signs, tax revenue and modification of behavior they don't like because they'll do everything in their power to make it cost prohibitive.

Oil is bad.  News flash.  Every thing you eat, buy, wear or moved uses oil or is made from an oil byproduct.  EVERYTHING.  Unless you planted an appleseed and watered it - everthing is reliant on oil.  Potato chips are in plastic bags.  People are idiots.
