Doh

It is amazing the world we live in at times when everything is judged by the dollar and how much can we make. We forget the most important thing in life health and family.

We work to live and spend more time stressing about work and life then we do enjoying life.

We let others control our lives not ourselves. We are controlled by work the media the church whatever is around us.

I sometimes wonder what is the point to it all there has to be a better way.

A quiet house

Last night the little guy was having a sleep over at Nana's.

Mel and I went out for dinner and when we came back after doing errands watched a bit of TV downstairs.

After watching TV went upstairs and could sense the little guy wasn't in is crib. The house seemed so quiet with out the little guy in his crib.  Even though he is  a quiet little sleeper the house is quiet without him.

It is amazing how people just don't get it

Where I work we deal with a company that remotes in and configures our lines. I need to explain 3 and 4 times what I want done. The frustrating part is we deal with them in text or email and outline everything as clear as possible.
In my instructions for example I will put in the following.
1. We need the unit to print when the count hits 10 bypassing the scale as a variable in the equation

Response: so you want me to eliminate the scale are you sure

I always feel like responding did you read what I just sent you. But I bite my tongue or control the fingers and reply yes.

This is what I deal with all the time clarification and reclarify and then asking is it plugged in can't see it anymore. It is so hard sometimes to control what I want to say and be diplomatic. Thank goodness to have my blog to complain to it helps me keep my sanity at times

The saga with this company is well interesting, simple things can take an afternoon a day or 2 of texting back and forth while testing it. The biggest problem they have is getting the units to print. I think that it is mostly since it goes to another server and says here u print I am to dumb. That it is as it takes for ever to configure it to send a print string of maybe 50 characters.

One thing that I always wonder about

The more I see in life the more I wonder how certain people can actually function on a day to basis.

Where I am working I see this in one particular user. He has no clue and you tell him something and 10 minutes later he has forgotten what you tell him. If I walk by his desk he always has an issue with his computer. He will call me over and say I can't do this in this program I did it yesterday but there is no way he did since viewer programs for the most part don't let you edit things. They generally let you print and look at it on the screen.

I see this in my personal life as well as I am sure we all do and you just wonder. How is he or she able to walk upright.

They can't do to things together and if they do it takes so much concentration they screw it up or loose complete focus
