Musings

For quite a while now I've been thinking, "Hey, I need to update my blog."  The rational, objective part of my mind reminds me, "You only update it when you're feeling down.  Why update it anyway?  There is no external benefit to it being updated."

Today I found someone else who started a blog with pretty much the same first post I did.  They hate blogs but are ironically starting one anyway.  Welcome to my world.  The universe loves irony.

This is also the first day of June.  June is an interesting month for me every year.  The third week of this month I will again venture to New York state and visit the ever-lovely Rochester.  Our annual business meeting with Kodak and Softworks Systems awaits.  It's boring as all heck, but I don't really have a realistic choice if I want to keep my job and maintain relationships.  Oh well:  I get paid, am always treated to real Italian food by Kodak, and I like to fly.  I suppose if nothing else I get a joy ride and authentic Italian food for free.  I will be taking video during my trip with the Canon HF S100 HD camcorder I purchased last year around Thanksgiving.

The week after my business trip is my SkillsUSA VICA trip.  Again this year I am to be a judge for the national-level Computer Maintenance Technology contest.  Fun fun.  It's a lot of work but always rewarding in its own right.  The event also provides a convenient opportunity for me to visit my brothers in the Kansas City area.  I fear what amount of money I am likely to spend at Microcenter.

Given these events, why am I always still so bored?
