Humans, the interesting and complex creatures we are; might one day find ourselves at a hypothetical roadblock. An obstacle that seems so challenging, that forging ahead means driving through raging waters, hurdling tall buildings or possibly hoofing it on foot, through a blizzard, up and over canyons.
I started writing to vent my frustrations about life. One might construe my new “screw that” attitude, as anger; maybe I was. Angry at things that never seemed to go my way, like getting a new car, only to hit a deer on the way home from the dealership. Or maybe, my anger hadn't started until my former employer sold the company I loved working for, or was it when the new owners, who said they were going to keep me, relocated the company headquarters 2400 miles away; Or could it be when they laid me off? In the most hard hit economic times America has seen in almost 30 years. More years than I’ve been alive! Maybe I had just had enough and was angry about it all or could it be that I was just disappointed?
Writing just seemed easier than discussing the issues, a way to reassure myself, things will get better. Sure, I have people to talk with, confide in, my friends and family are terrific, but conversations quickly turned to “seriously Kris, everyone is on unemployment these days,” like it’s a cool thing. Followed by comments, meant to make you feel better, “with your skills you will find a job super fast” and even a couple, “welcome to the real world kid.” Oooh but my favorite “relax; just think of this as a vacation”.
That was 4 weeks ago.
Vacations over!
Boredom has landed for a visit!
