Work and home

October 31st, 2007 by David

Sort of having a hard time recently figuring out exactly how to balance it all out… work and home. It is very easy to separate them. They don’t overlap at all, but the edges are blurred in that I am quite ambitious at work, and honestly, a bit lost at home. When we had J , it was much easier, or it seems to be - this part about rolls and what I am expected to do. Here at work I know what I am supposed to do (mostly!) and what is expected of me day to day, but at home, it just isn’t so easy. I am sure this is to do with the fact that there are two little ones involved in the mix. Father, bread winner. Poppa, fort builder. I wish it were that easy, but it isn’t.

Wow, I feel really clunky writing these days, I am really rusty, and I was never that good anyhow.

Good thing no one is reading this. I do get very excited to read back and realize that even though I missed a few years there, I still have this pretty neat journal of some pretty meaningful bits of my life here on diaryuh. I do think I will start picking topics and trying to be witty here …oh yes! So witty.

Today is Halloween. Truth be told, I am not nor have ever been a big Halloween enthusiast. Particularly when it comes to adults. Part of me understood when teachers would dress up, but here in my current work place it is really unsettling, seeing adults dressed as brides and witches and such.

I’ve been saying that I am dressed as George Clooney in Syriana. . .

Not a lot response to that joke.

Another odd thing about working in an office. I am not known as a joker, a funny guy. That is strange for me, people just know me as the guy at the end of the hall, mostly. And then I am not sure, but I think that is ok, because you don’t wanna become Dwight Schrutt. having a certain reputation. My teaching mentor said, “Once they figure out how you are going to respond (in a meeting to a certain idea) then it is time to move on.” I live by this, and my 3 year cycle in life continues.
