gonna get all hippie and throw some 'feels' at ya.
ever just have a day, thats just $hitty? not like your life is going to end $hitty.. just $HITTY? weather sucks, everything goes wrong... you know? First-worldly-$hitty.... But then hear something terrible that puts you inane bull$hit into perspective, and makes you feel petty, and so you just move on, because you know how stupid you are.....
that was me yesterday. Got handed 53 hrs of unplanned work to do this week... then... Huge software crash, lost 27,000 records of data. had to re-process. Finally get it all done and even printed-took me all day. then, I drop the huge skid of postcards rounding a corner with the palletjack, and a bunch lands in a puddle of compressor oil. TWICE. run back, reprint the affected pieces. take them back out. someone stole my pallet jack, and knocked my $hit over in the process for a third time. I was in full stab a mofo mode.
then I come back to my desk, and someone hands me this card to sign for a coworker (a Very nice person, who runs tons of charities for local needy, and animal shelter stuff, been working with her for 15 yrs) Im like "dafuk is this for?"
I open the card and see "condolences" and "sorry for your loss" stuff....
Well. Over the weekend, apparently, her 18 yr old son inexplicably collapsed and died out of the blue. still no cause determined.
seriously, my $hit is so amazingly trivial, I was actually frozen in place. couldn't function for a few minutes.
hug your kids, take care of your loved ones. Time is limited, so let's not waste it.
that is all. have a nice day gents.
