Yesterday was another day in a long string of days. That is how life goes. Days follow days, become weeks, turn into years, and before you know it there is more sand in the bottom of the hour glass than the top. I turned 45 this week and I got a very delicious pie and a dozen Facebook wishes.
I also had work turn sour, got a new powerful work tool that is somewhat incomplete and as buggy as Skyrim, and watched my back account drain further due to the reckless actions of others. Such a happy fun time, but maybe those grains of sand draining away are the silver lining.
Life loves to throw you curve balls and right now it feels like every good thing that happens is counter balanced by twenty negative things beyond my control. Business was up, way up, for January and February and then someone decided gas prices needed to go way up and that airport lines needed to be even worse than normal.
On that note I watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy last night. It was a decent movie. I wasn’t really in the mind frame to enjoy anything, but I watched it and it wasn’t bad.
When nothing is going your way it does feel like even more is stacked against you. I have been trying to get things to work, but I am not seeing results. I want to keep pushing and keep trying, but is the struggle worth the effort? Maybe I was better off disassociating from the business and playing video games all day. It isn’t a business that rewards my efforts and marketing is treated more like a nuisance than a victory.
I am down on everything this morning. Maybe today will be good. We have our Dog Easter Event today. It is also going to be 45 and windy. We might be standing around doing a bunch of nothing for the event. At least it is at a brewery. That gives me a ready escape hatch if even more stops going my way.
