“How Troublesome…”
Shikamaru

So I’m back in the office and it sucks. I missed a little more than two days last week, but had to work on Saturday. Been to a doctor who could only refer me somewhere else. In the meantime I have pressure on both sides of my head and I can’t hear well. So what have I been doing about this…watching episodes of Naruto on YouTube of course. Yeah I love the Japanese anime. It’s alot better than some of the crap they try to push on the youngsters on saturday mornings now-a-days. I remember when you could get up at 8a.m. and watch cartoons until Soul Train came on. Now it’s a crapshoot. They need to put Adult Swim on during prime time hours. A gift for all the kids. Anyway, the funny thing is that Naruto-kun and his pals are making me hate my job more. Yeah it’s true and I’ll explain why. A running theme of that show is taking care of the village. Meaning that unlike most of us when they walk out the door they are part of a community. The jobs that people undertake in that community have an effect on the community as a whole. Get this…their leader actually cares about does what is best for the village, crazy right!?! Not all of the chaos is from some evil villain, but from the issues that people carry because of the events in characters lives; neglect, abandonment, betrayal and even being picked on by peers. I think this tends to resonate with me so much beause despite of my job, I rarely feel like I actually got to do something that I can see has a positive affect on the world. If I didn’t work in this field I wouldn’t have as a big a problem with that. I’m in Human Services though. I should be able to see more positive things sprout from my work. If only that were the case. It seems I’ve actually added to my misery by working these jobs. Yes I’ve seen some people go to college, get their GED,one even started a business. However, even more have gone to jail or died. I already have enough stories about that in my personal acquaintances. It’s kind of like living your life and learning from your mistakes and those of your friends only to return to that time with your knowledge and a new group of people and not be able to stop them from making mistakes. It messes with your head when you read the papers and know that you could come across the name of someone who was killed and watch it wreak havoc in either your personal or professional life, a few times in both. This would not be so bad if I could feel like I was actively doing things to make progress and move forward and help others. For right now I don’t feel like that. To top it off my hearing is impaired and I keep getting headaches from the pressure…sucks to be me. The good news is I’m getting a free DVR tomorrow for my many years of faithful service to DirecTv. Yay. Ha ha, it is to laugh. Anyway I’ll catch ya’ll.
