Haiku and a Thought.

Ideas Differ
Emotions Run the Gambit
Love is the Answer

--------------


Ideas Differ

I occurred to me, as the wife was out of town for the weekend, that a needed piece of my life was missing. My wife and I would agree that we are complete opposites. On one level We have differing ideas, hobbies, interests. On a deeper tier though, we share something profound. Morally we are the same person.

Emotions Run the Gambit

We have always been the savior types, many times to our detriment. Between the two of us, we have rescued kittens and puppies, friends and family and more times than not it was for no benefit to us. In fact, it was usually more aggravation that it was worth. Internally though, in our hearts, it was the right thing to do. I say often that If I had $1 for every $100 owed to me, I could have a hell of a night out on the town, but I don't say it with anger. It's just part of who we are.

Love is the Answer

All through it though, we have love. Our family is a tight unit, able to go into battle together or just have a group hug, a heart felt hug, where My wife, two daughters and I can all leave with a smile on our face and a giggle in our heart, because it's real.

Time To Party -- Er...Time To Clean The House

My Wife is going out of town this weekend, leaving the kids and I home by ourselves to indulge in some much needed Daddy-Daughter Time. It doesn't normally bother me when the wife leaves for the weekend as she doesn't do it very often, but this time we didn't get to spend very much time together this week as we have both been busy and I'm not going to see her before she leaves today either. Between work, hobbies, a job interview, and a couple sick daughters, time has been scarce. We’ll make up for that when she gets back.

In the meantime I’ll take this opportunity to play with the kids, clean the house and generally goof off and do nothing all weekend. I’ll probably veg out in front of the TV after the kids go to bed, play some video games or internet poker and generally relive the bachelor lifestyle…at least during the after bed hours.

So I had this job interview yesterday and I’ll be honest to say that I don’t think it went the best it could. I haven’t interviewed for a job in like 8 years and I certainly wasn’t my normal witty self. Furthermore, the interview was after a long day at work, a 40 minute drive and on an empty stomach. Hopefully the company will see through some of that and at least call me back for a second interview. We’ll see.

Much To My Surprise...

I got a call last night from a fellow named David about my resume for the tutoring position. It seems that a local music school is branching out into academia and they are looking for a couple quality workers to help with this transition. As it would have it, I have an interview setup for Thursday evening after work and although David said he has many applicants to contact, screen and then possibly interview, I hope that I can make an impression on him that helps me stand out. Wish me luck.
