But nothing will bring out such intense emotions better than a job you hate. I'm not talking about a "man, my job sucks" kind of hate, but a burning hatred that has you fantasizing about non-descript masked gunmen bursting into your office, ordering everyone out of the building, and setting it on fire.(Such fantasies have other people doing the dirty work for legal reasons.) A job with low pay, low morale, no medical benefits, a boss that makes you wonder if the company might qualify for some type of Government grant for employing the mentally handicapped, and a company that truly doesn't care about their employees can drive a person to such a level of hate. I'm there now.<BR/><BR/><B>My intestines are trying to walk out on me:</B> I have a hernia. I've had one for a few months now. I <B>was</B> going to sign up for medical insurance at work. They cancelled their program the month I was planning on signing up. The hernia is keeping me from other jobs. I can't pass a physical. I am in the process of utilizing a low cost/no cost health clinic here in Madison. I will probably have to pay something. But, it won't be full price. The only drawback is that I have to wait two weeks to see a doctor. The pain in my lower abdomen is becoming more frequent.<BR/><BR/><B>Despite what I've written so far, my life is not a giant bowl of suck:</B> Three things have been taking up my free time as of late. I've been researching middle eastern history online and in the library. Interesting stuff! Most people in the US don't realize that for nearly 600 years, the Arab and Persian cultures were two of the most advanced cultures on Earth, at a time when most of Europe was a backwater and had no real or organized culture to speak of. I've also been working on a mosaic on top of an old wooden coffee table using small glass tiles. I've never been much of an artist, but I find this to be relaxing and enjoyable. Thirdly, I am putting together the makings of a podcast. It will be mostly politically oriented, but will ultimately be whatever my friend Carl and I decide it will be on any given show. We'll be using a more traditional radio talk show format, minus any caller/listener participation. We have named it <B>The Talent Free Radio Newshour</B> and I'm excited about recording soon. I'll be creating a blogger account for the show and will let you know when it happens. Will the show suck? Probably. But, considering the crap that's floating around in the podcasting world these days, at least we can't do any worse. :-)<BR/><BR/><B>My life in a nutshell:</B> Take it or leave it. I wouldn't have it any other way. (Except for the hernia part. My intestines need to understand that part of their role includes remaining inside the body, thank you!)<BR/><BR/>Be well and good night.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>P.S. If you <B>EVER</B> feel the need to go running around naked and screaming, "I lost my invisible plane, I lost my invisible plane," I'll give you my address and phone number. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
