So the question is, what kind of asshole am I? Am I a moderate asshole? I am a major asshole? Or am I so mild that it’s tolerable?
I feel like a total asshole because I have not kept up with your blogs, and have not written any for you to read. I have been exceptionally busy with work lately, and I have also been depressed. Not a great combination.
Basically, my schedule changes five times every three days, and I spend a lot of time revamping my schedule, helping others with work issues, escalations, etc because they stuck a bunch of people in the field to install a product that they have never been trained on. Terrible.
But also, I guess I just needed a break. I had so much on my plate, and something had to give. I have been trying to simplify my life, and this is just one of those things that had to give.
I am very sorry about this. But please know that each day, I do think about you guys and hope you are doing well.
I can’t guarantee that I will continue to write on a regular basis. My job, all of a sudden, has become quite a nightmare, including travel to multiple client sites every week, doing administrative crap, and trying to get field documentation written. By the end of the day, I can’t stand to sit in front of a computer.
I guess that makes me older. When I was in my 20’s, I could spend all day and all night in front of a computer. Now, a personal life seems to be important to me, rather than clinging to the ladder and scratching my way up it slowly.
Please know that I am thinking of you, I do care, and I hope you are all doing well!

Good to hear from you though.

You and I have similar working conditions, so I know how tough it is. Don’t sweat it.

don’t apologize, life comes first…you come first. I too have been thinking about going in another direction, like I need more or less of something else, not sure yet.

George Carlin, rest his soul, said it best when he said in his Game Show skit entitled “Asshole, Jackoff or Scumbag”:
What is Wayne? Is he an asshole, jackoff or scumbag?

I’m super glad that you’re okay, albeit very snowed under. Don’t worry about reading anything i write - most of it is crap anyway ;o)
Take care of you!

Personal life…like a job…should always come first. Please don’t feel like an asshole because you haven’t read anyone’s blog. Anyone that would get mad about that has a HUGE ego.
Take care of yourself, find some balance and know that we will still be here. At least I hope I’ll still be here.

Take care of you and check in when you can!

Life happens. I’m crawling out of my self imposed writing hibernation myself this week. A month of peeking at my feed reader only once in awhile sucked ass but I needed to focus. So don’t apologize for having to deal with life. Relax… enjoy the sites when you can!

I am glad you are doing OK, and at least keeping busy with life. That is most important. Anyone who seems to be giving you crap for not being more of a presence needs to get overthemselves and worry about their own shit.
Hope you continue to check in once in a while and that you get a break from the insanity of your life too. Taking a break once in a while never hurt anyone…

My philosophy has always been that real life comes first. I’m glad to hear you’re doing well, no apology needed.

I have been thinking about all the stuff that I should give up, and while I’m thinking that a lot of stuff has to go, probably blogging and other computer stuff should go first.
We were going to Tulsa week after next. Now we’re not. Not that I really need to go to Tulsa or anything, I just look forward to getting out of town once in a while, and the motel in Tulsa has a hot tub. So of course when the schedule is something I look forward to, it changes.
Something is a bitch, but it isn’t Chelle.
