I do have great days

I know i tend to get negative. I talk about the struggles because I hate to brag or boast. On a daily basis I do enjoy life. I'm that guy in the grocery store or anywhere trying to make people smile. I don't know why I come off as depressed and militant. I don't mean too. I think I see reality and I project it.

But, I had an amazing day today. Best day in a long time. I started a new job, and that has had me down for a while. The Dodgers also made some great moves. I'll write about that separately.  thought that I had made a mistake leaving one company for another. I tried desperately to go back but, they wouldn't take me. I got depressed and stressed. I didn't see eye to eye with the owner. He took money out of my paycheck even though I'm salary. My wife called me out and when I spoke up I was the douche. I made the owners mom cry because she works there too and tried to call me out on things. I could have sued them but because I don't believe in that I was the bad guy for bringing it to their attention. His mom's opinion was that they should be able to dock my pay if they feel like it. I should be happy he signs my paycheck is what she said. I think differently. I feel you should appreciate and respect your employees and for the most part they will respect and appreciate you. Today, I started a new job. Continuing my career as a Systems Engineer. It was probably, no it was the best first day ever. I have a lot to learn and it's not going to be easy to succeed. But, is it ever? Do we want it any other way? Ok, we might want it easier. But, I guarantee you that you don't appreciate it unless you have to work hard for it. 

I promise to appreciate what I have, most of the time. But, I also will continue to be honest and real. Life will always be tough and that's how it's suppose to be. It's a journey and a test. In over 2000 years nobody has figured it out. Even the richest found riches are not the goal. If you find the true goal? Call me, I'd really like to know.
