Spring Break

What does a 28 year old do on Spring Break from college? Well, enjoy the thought that one day life will be like this everyday. I will be able to work, and go straight home to enjoy my family.

Just about every day since I graduate high school 10 years ago, I’ve had the stress of working, then rushing to school, and then stressing about homework, exams, etc. Yesterday I left work at 5p, and cruised over to Bella’s school to pick her up. Got home, started the BBQ, and had dinner by 6:30p. No rushing around to class, no stress at all, it was great.

So, that’s what I’m doing during my spring break, and I’m enjoying every second of it.

Can’t Grasp Perfection

It’s impossible to live a perfect life, but sometimes I feel like things are so close to being just that.  However,  in making that extra effort for perfection I end up turning everything upside down and then have to start over from the ground up again.

Intense Optimism

Some days I’m filled with so much optimism that I truly am floating on clouds. Other days I’m so miserable with one thing that it ruins everything else. Every day I have to deal with one person that truly makes my life miserable from 8a to 5p. You know the kind of person that no matter what you say or do, they have to come out of the conversation a step ahead of you? They can never admit they are wrong, and they can never do so much as to say thank you, good morning, or hell, even a “happy birthday” when it’s your birthday.

Some days I’m better at staying positive and not letting this one person get to me. I make efforts, but we always fall back to the same point of me being so micromanaged that I can’t even do my job. I brush this off 4 or 5 times a day and continue on with being productive. However, the irritating thought of having to be around this person more than I’m around my wife and child truly aggravates me. The structure of our work schedules do not make sense to me at all.

I prefer the feeling of intense optimism, and I’m kind of writing this as a mission statement to myself to continue working hard and ignore the irritating, complacent person that I have to share my place of employment with.

My career goals are coming into focus, and my determination to come out on top has never been greater. Stay focus, stay positive, and bring up the moral of the people around you.

Heading to Camelback Ranch!

In a little less than 17 hours, at 3am on Friday morning, we are heading out to Arizona to check out the new Spring Training facility of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Growing up, I always wanted to go to Vero Beach, FL with my Dad and visit Dodgertown. It never happened, but now that the Dodgers have moved their spring training facilities to Arizona, I hope to make this an annual family tradition.

Pictures and video from the weekend coming soon…
