The other shoe...
Things that happened today made me extremely happy that my department has 10 requisitions out for new employees. We are about 12 people understaffed at this point and are farming out work to independant contractors which is completely and utterly frowned upon. My job makes me feel very secure, and hard to understand what it feels like when people lose their jobs.
However like all things in life, I could find myself on the short end of the employment stick sometime in the future, and so I will be there for my friends if they need me, because I hope they will be there for me if I ever 'bite the big one'...
Onto more pleasant news:
... there is a card tournament tomorrow
... I just got paid today
... I finished up what I wanted to get done at work before my goal completion date (of June 29)
... I recently downloaded a bunch of classic Weird Al songs for my MP3 player. Weird Al Rocks!!!
... I am leaving for Origins, just in time to miss a dull, borring, LONG meeting at work on Wednesday.
... I get to see my best friend from 'that' side of the Mississippi in a few days, and to use his works "It's gonna ROCK!"
All in all I have a pretty good life and I know that I don't diserve it. I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting for the guy to jump in and say "Surprize, you are still in college and this has all been a dream!" Waiting for some clerical error in my Mortage that makes the bank try to forclose on my house... You know normal stuff. =)
Game On!

dude...it's half full
I too was in your shoes back a few years, and also had that other shoe feeling. The other shoe did drop, but thought the pain and fear, I found whay humans are so resilient, we have others.....I found friends, family, and faith....three things that weren't as inportant to me when the world was my oyster....
