Monday, not a fun day...

There are as many explanations for Monday as their are stars in the sky. Stars in the sky, care about as much about as Monday, as Monday cares about them. That is probably why Nature herself doesn’t put special meaning on a Monday. It comes on it’s own. It leaves on it’s own. Just another day in the millions that have come and the millions that are yet to come. Man in it’s infinite wisdom has put meaning to the day, but this meaning is also not the same around the blue rock on which we crawl. In the western hemisphere the day follows two days of freedom. Where man and woman could do as they please. Rocks, plants, trees and animals live their lives, never bothering with the significance of one day over another. Seasons they know. Knowing when to bound with joy as the bright lights, smells and sounds grows numerous; the new plants for the coming season. Lazing in the sun drenched summer months and stuffing their gullets with the bounty of a season of plenty. Never thinking on the day of tomorrow as mother nature slathers on the layers of fat that will see them through the lean months of the fall and winter to come.


For all of man’s wisdom they never seem to pick the tasks to fill their day, that will give them greatest joy. Lamenting forever at their lot in life. Strange to view their daily struggle when fellow man is the cause of all their strive. Never to come together in common cause, but always to compete for petty marbles. Compete. Compete. The crazy drummer that they march to. So distracted are they in their competition that they don’t notice the time slipping by.

If this job doesn't kill me, I might live till I'm old

        It’s been one of those days - again!         It’s feeling a lot like ground hog day.         A strange problem, corrupted our production AIX server        and we are restoring the OS from a mksysb (just the AIX naming for the root disk backup). I am hoping that the recovery will restore all the security information, which we were able to save from the old system. What exactly went wrong on it is still to be determined. Right now, it’s all hands on deck to get the system back.         Plans were made to switch to the DR (Disaster Recovery) site but we are not sure that the other systems will be able to continue operating on this side of the great divide, while the core system is sitting in the DR computer room.         First signs that things w...

Road under Construction - Detour Ahead...

It's been longer than I intended since I've updated this post. Today I grabbed my trusty Kindle reader and started in on a book titled " How to Get Ideas " by Jack Foster and Larry Corby . What a surprise when the first chapter is titled " Have Fun ".  Coincidentally with this, I've read the ICAS desk drop (it's an email on personal wellness, diet, work life balance etc.) wherein the TED talk of Caroline McHugh was discussed - it too arrived today. How you need to find your true self and stop being who the world wants you to be. How do they relate? Simple: fun ! If you are currently, where you are, whether it be your work, life, family, friends, whatever, and you are not having fun in each, then you are not being you. You are being something you where never meant to be. It's something I'm struggling with. For thirty years I've been working in computers, processing data, putting up with, well everyone. It all has me wondering is t...
