Fire Alarm Testing

Fire alarm testing during regular business hours is unfair to the people that have to work. Not to mention it is potentially damaging to your ears. I could feel my left ear's drum vibrating violently, so I put my head phones on which happen to be over the ear head phones. Totally excellent for blocking out this awful screeching sound.

The Unfairly Targeted

So my best friend's mother had an aneurysm. The only good news is she is making a very good recovery.

I think this is astonishingly unfair to her since she is so damn active and healthy. The only thing I can suspect is that maybe she had this problem because she might have been pushing herself too hard while working out or doing some of these things.

Projects

I have a lot of projects going on right now and they are all very time consuming. So between a very needy mother, stressful job, exercise and trying to have a life at the same time it is hard to get parts of the project done.

I recently solved some car issues I was having, thankfully it was nothing major. I changed my MAF sensor finally and now my car drives like a dream again. I am having issues with my AC, but I got that figured too, I just need an AC blower motor.

I need to juggle a lot, then trying to find time to relax is tough too.

I am very tired right now, so tired it is hard to sleep.

Certified Idiot

I don't believe in certifications that aren't required for a job. Any idiot can get a certification; it means dick though. I have met people who get all smug about having a certification from Microsoft, doesn't mean shit. Those same people are usually incapable of problem solving or living up to their certification's title. The same goes for the smug assholes who go to a big name Ivy league school like Harvard etc...

I have dealt with jackasses that think they are better than me because of their certs, but when it comes down to skill and performance they lose. They lose because I can prove my ability in real time and in practicality. Most shmucks with certs know jack shit because they worked in a giant operation that had different people assigned to each key on a keyboard. Or they just lie their way through life and their job, forever blaming others for their short comings.

It is very hard for me to lie to people, but other fuck heads with a shit eating grin can sail by because they can talk up their game. I, on the other hand, have skills on the job, but I am bad at lying to people during interviews.

This is a screwy world we live in where the undeserving get the rewards and the nice guys finish last. Mean but true. I am trying to find the perfect balance between both things, being a jerk and being a nice guy. I'd say 99% of the time I am a nice guy and I don't want to see others fail, but that other 1% I hate on the people who ungracefully making things difficult for everyone else.
