Vacation Please

So… how was your day? I am fried. I am sick, I am stressed, and I am exhausted - heck for good measure, I’ll throw in overweight (who’d of thunk it?) - this year has been busy, fast, and not very forgiving - but amidst all of that, today it made sense why I do what I do - I like to help people.

A customer, who happens to be a pastor, and sends me a ticket now and again asked me a question about his cell phone, and what always happens with my brain happened, it started over-thinking - I did some research, compared it to my own phone setup (he has a MotoQ and I have a similar setup with the Dash) - so in the ticket we went thru some options, and in the end between the two of us fiddling with trial and error, he on a whim cleared the account, and was back to working 100% - he thanked me for my support - when really all I did was tell him to check some settings lol, but that one thing made me feel better than I have in a week or two.

I like helping people. Always have, it irks me sometimes because people then want me to make my helping a job, or take advantage and mix my “help” with what my “job” entitles them to ask me for, and like a shmuck I suppose I do it. I as the word has been thrown around lately “enable” people to rely on me, I suppose I want people to need me, to have to rely on me, to make myself needed in the day to day - which leads to more psychological mumbo jumbo I am sure… but thats another day, another blog :) but I have a lot of customers who take a blessing just as that, and don’t “require” it of me, they are grateful and in most cases randomly find ways to bless me back, that whole “do unto others” bit ;)

I think I am going to take a week off here, granted I can’t “REALLY” take off a week, but get away, maybe it’s time for that crazy idea of a Road Trip I’ve toyed with - granted thanksgiving my aunt and uncle are going to be up in Washington, maybe a trip to Vegas? I dunno, but I need something, but of course I also need money lol - been waiting on some cash, and it’s never come, and I am waiting for it still, but calls are not getting returned - joys of helping someone lol.

Anywhoo… I’ve rambled on long enough I think, just a lot on my brain, things moving forward with one project, others all sitting around waiting on funds from people, content, and in a lot of cases communication - so onto the night, more work, more attempts to get ahead. Prayers appreciated. Night folks.
