Well, the lipids were quite a bit better... but the triglycerides were still high, but only 255 compared to... what? 1500 or so last time. And the cholesterol was 156... lowest that I've ever been. So I'm mostly happy about it.
I didn't get the blood drawn until 22:00... we were too busy before that, and the hunger wasn't too bad, since I could smoke and drink coffee... well, I couldn't smoke 'cause I would've had to take a break and go outside, but I smoked before I went to work... and I drank a lot of coffee... but I always drink a lot of coffee...
Both of the other techs left at 21:00, after working 14-hour days, so I was by myself a lot earlier than usual. Had to run for a while, there, but I got through it OK. Things slowed down a little, and about 01:00 I thought that maybe I could sit down and write a bit, but no-go. Pager went off when I sat down, and that was the end of that. Ran pretty much the rest of the night.
I went upstairs to see my old friend Herman after work... he had some Access problems that he wanted some help with, and I was totally unable to get my brain to function. Rather embarrassing, 'cause Herm thinks that I'm a lot smarter than I really am, and I hated to bust his bubble.
O'well... these things happen.
Wisdom. One of my goals has been the acquisition of wisdom. Mostly because it's so damned hard to define... in other words, you can BS people into believing that you're wise. Unfortunately, another of my goals has been to be as honest as I can be. And I'm afraid that you can be either one or the other, but not both.
A little story... years ago, I was seeing a therapist (by order of the divorce court, initially...) and I had told him near the beginning that I wanted to be wise some day. About three years later, he told me that I was the wisest person that he had ever known.
I instantly lost all respect for the guy. He was either pulling my chain or he really didn't know any wiser people than me....
And I desperately need to think that there is more wisdom somewhere in this world than there is in my head. However, the more I think about it... I've never met a wise person, however it is that I define wisdom.
What brought that up was that one of the girls that I work with had asked me about her boyfriend several months ago, and, after listening to her, I told her to dump him.
Well, he wound up in jail for kicking in her door and threatening her, so she told me that she was going to come and talk to me about any future liaisons before they got started...
Good news!
Tyler has a job!
He's starting work today at Tele-tech... they're relatively new to Topeka, but doing really well, from what I hear. They're customer service people, I'm not really sure how it works, but instead of a company hiring their own people to answer tech-rep questions, they hire Tele-tech to do it. I'll find out more later...
And LiquidWeb is still down... I've got no email! And no website! Damn!
And now it's time to hit the sack...
