Over an hour ago, I had an appointment moved to accomodate someone who wanted to reschedule something. After I had moved it, she said her boss is now able to see me in an earlier slot. I told her I had moved an appointment for the rescheduling. She was sorry (that’s what she said), and she would call again to confirm final appointment time. She still hasnt called. This is annoying. Yet, It is an appointment I desperately need at this point, so would probably put up with it.

Why do people do that anyway?

“So, I commend the enjoyment of life.” (From the Bible – really. Eccl 8:15)

Wifey sent me this story today about a Harvard MBA and a Mexican fisherman. First saw this 2, maybe 3 years ago, making its rounds thruogh cyberspace. Wifey either just picked it up or must have thought I needed to read something like that. It was a story about a contented Mexican fisherman who worked half a day and enjoyed himself for the rest of the day, with his wife, kids and friends. The MBA guy said he could show the fisherman how to be more successful – you know, so that he would, 15-20 years later, be rich and dont have to work so hard anymore. Story’s supposed to be about a silly chasing of what we already have. I replied wifey asking if the Mexican’s kids got sick and needed good medical care, he probably couldnt afford it? And, his kids probably would not have the choice of picking another line of work? Wifey was too sentimental to think about that. She was probably too concerned about my feelings about my work recently. God bless her. I was watching the 20,900th re-run of Sound of Music on Astro lastnight. The line about “Somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good” always stuck out. I think that applies to me, everytime I think of how sweet my wife is, for thinking about me so much. Thank you God….
