nothing but good

you helped make some of my my greatest memories
and the years can't take them away
with you I explored the birds and bees
when life was made of play

you were there when we still believed
love was here to stay
and so I take a few minutes each year
to reach out to say

I hope you have the life you dreamed of
when life was made of play
and I send you wishes full of love
in this, your birthday

Happy Birthday To You
Happy Birthday Today
Happy Birthday To You
Happy Birthday Barb and Ray


imagine that, me on time... will wonders never cease... meanwhile, in the life around here, nothing much is happening, but it's all good... another good day at work where I got lots done and made people happy at my own relaxed pace and nobody had a negative word to say... that is the best part of this new position, the lack of negativity in the air in the immediate space in and around my office...

if you remember my rambles (and rants) about working night shift, you may recall the whiny crap that used to be inspired by the laziness unprofessionalism selfishness and negativity that maybe drove most of the night shift people to choose to work the night shift (though some had no choice because they could not handle working a real job where they had to actually do some work and produce)... it's still there (and the ineptness of administration still can't seem to figure out how to get the night shift to do the simplest of tasks like file papers properly or make copies), but I'm not immersed in it and so can ignore it even as it effects the process during the day...

now I head in comfortably, pick up my mail, open my office, turn on my computer, and take care of business with nobody complaining or interfering or undermining... of course that is because I am setting up my own little world that is only minimally dependent on anyone else in the place and nobody understands exactly what I do or how I do it so no one can question what I am doing or how I am doing it as long as the job gets done... the head cheese walks by my office and smiles, as does my supervisor (the assistant head cheese) and all the other head cheeses follow suit... how sweet is that?...

ok, so the place would run better if more people had a clue about systems and analysis and organization and cooperation, but I can't change the world so I can enjoy the autonomy and freedom that having knowledge and skills that no one else has affords me... and the separation from the confusion and neediness and self-destructive habits that dominate the human race is so much easier too... oh my, what a few days off might do...

I'm not sure if life is much more fun when I get a little sleep, but I am more aware of how much fun it is when I am more awake...

and in case you didn't notice the first pebbles, I found a little time to start the babbling ball rolling you know where and by next week the landslide will pour scores of new entries into the madness behind the candoor...

it's so much fun to empty my head J
