ITS ALL IN THE NAME

I got a great email today from a friend. It was a link to a place where you could find out different facts about the day you were born. No its not about what happen but more of what day of the week it was, was it a leap year, what phase of the moon it was. Anyways, in it there was a link to another interesting thing. In this one all you have to do is enter your full name and it would tell you all about you of who you are. I found it very facinating as to what it had to say about me and made me think. "You can make a very fine teacher..." I have head this one before and the fact is that I almost did go into teaching. So seeing this made me look at it more closer and see other things that I think fit my personality. Wow, I thought, can this really be? Is it this simple? We can't change who we are. I started looking at the ups and downs about my life. I tend to be a very trusting person. I like to find the good in everything and give everyone a chance. Some say I am too trusting but the way I see things its bad not to trust someone. Why should I not if someone hasn't given me the reason to mistrust? As you have read in previous posts I been lied to, hurt and decived. Given some of my recent experiences I could easily become reserved, untrusting, and bitter. But what would I gain with doing that? Can we really change who we are? Even though we may try to at times, I think deep down inside we are who we are after all its all in the name!

The positive aspects of the 7 expression are that you can be a true perfectionist in a very positive sense of the word.

At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.

TREE HUGGERS

What an ending to the week! I was on another one of my famous Oncall Week from Hell! Monday thru Thursday alone I had put in 13 hours of overtime! If only I got paid for that. Add to my Hell the decision to power down the computer room to update the power supply in there. One thing Servers and Computers don't like is being turned off. Given that news I knew I was going to have the most eventful weekends. So on Friday I go on and start designing a plan for the outtage when as soon as I started getting into it *BUZZZZZZZZZZ! The blaring sound of the fire alarm. Oh great I think another one of those damn fire drills! I walk down the hall and down the stairs, out the door and BAM the smell of gas was very strong! Everyone got out admist the screaming of the evacuators to stay away from the building and move to "X" area. Theres been digging and laying of new pipes going on in and around our building. And lucky for me, I live in a environmentalist city and not to make it any better I work for the state's environmental commission! Turns out that they had the construction company escavate and move a small shrub that was in the way of the digging. Yep a stupid bush cause the evacuation of a building and sent me home early for the day with a huge laundry list of unaccomplished tasks for the power down! So how much is the bush? Turns out they evacuated the building and sent everyone home with 3 hours to go til quiting time! Calculate how much a $100 shrub (and I'm being conservative on theprice) cost by sending about 400 people home for almost half a day and paying them for the time. Yep that measly $100 tree ended up costing the citizens of the Great State of Texas thousands of dollars, the leak of the gas out to the environment and poluting it, and paying the landscaping company for the move just to please those wonderful tree huggers. One can only laugh at the irony! I know I did!
