Too Much Work...

A couple of days ago a few colleagues called me a workaholic. In hind sight they are right. I try hard to learn the processes and get the tasks done. If I fail it is not due to my effort. It is due to my inability to grasp current norms. Of course I want to do more than just process a task. I want to master the tasks. Unfortunately not all systems have been documented. This leads to a serious issue with learning the systems. Without references in place, you can not turn to a single source. It seems that in it self is a form of job protection for the few who do know the missing pieces of the links. I suppose I'll have to wait and see how it all goes from here. Everyday is a challenging mystery. ~ Enjoy.

Royal Distaste or Hate...

I'm not sure why I feel a certain joy and pleasure from the idea of Scotland separating from England. I do know that I think the world needs a little more diversity. I'm personally tired of the Royal worship. Our over taxed countries serving the imaginary royal coffers dose nothing for the rest of us. Scotland should become independent with a singular currency of their own... Let the Brits eat the same rubbish they like to force upon us. Then we might see a little more balance in the entire world. In fact, a separation would create more jobs for the Scottish folks for at least the next 20 years. That would serve two generations well. That would allow for some evolution for the future. Following the Brits was what cause the economic crisis in Europe to begin with. As a Canadian, I blame the failures on the shoulders of the Royals if not the British parliament. ~ ENjoy!

crazy tired...

A new focus and change of pace. Those are the kinds of things that wear you down. I need a bit more balance as I tackle the back to school routine. I almost think that the back to school life is harder than then the summers. ~ EN-joy!

Not dropping art

I was recently asked, "why don't you have more art on-line?" To answer the question i simply said... I have a big project in the works. It is a personal project that has lasted a little over 5 years. I'm hoping to make it publicly accessible. I just need to plug away until all the pieces are ready. I just don't know when that will be as I try to balance, work, play, life and the project. Them is the breaks. ~ Enjoy.

sorting out

I love the books, then I should play the part...
I'm a Ravenclaw! Pretty obscure.... Like me self. ~ Enjoy!

I forgot about this interview... http://theglasscoin.com/gregarious-perspectives-art-by-richard-grzela/ Glad I did it. It was pretty amazing to be offered the opportunity to share some of my work and background.

14,000 +

When I started this blog many years ago, it was with the idea of practice literacy in the new digital age. It is not so new now. It has changed and evolved. I'm thankful for it in some ways. Though I have had over 14,000 visits since. I never thought I would have had so many folks take an interest in the writing, art and simply perspectives on life that I share on this blog. It has been really fun just to write,express and be a web/internet presence of a sort. If only we could translate those visits into an income or real social connection. Maybe the internet can still be improved, though this is a happy little thing I built with the blog host of course. I suppose other folks will come along to fill the space as I decide how or if I'll continue with the posts. For now it is just what it is. A chance to participate in the present and future of the world both real and digital. ~ Enjoy.
