The pursuit of nothing

I have been noticing a tendency for people to pursue things that are out of their reach entirely. They devote vast amounts of time, energy, and resources to obtain things, which in most cases, simply can't be had. Not only that, in most cases, what they seek is detrimental to them anyway. Oh, that's a big word, maybe, it's just plain bad for them. Yet they continue to beat their heads against a wall, in the vain hopes of attaining it. Seems silly, but I have done it myself. I have made a promise to myself to not chase after things that I can never have, it's a futile excercise.

Venting

I've written about this person before. Several times. This last weekend we worked, and we were rather busy. A situation arose where there was a slight problem. When I walked into the area. The girls told me what the problem was. When I asked which machine, this person spoke to me in a tone like you would use with a child. Slow and loud. Now, if her partner/live-in,/whatever he is doesn't mind this tone, that's his business. But I for one, like to be spoken to in a little more dignified manner. I guess since he wasn't there she thought she could speak to me like he does him. Like I said, if he wants to tolerate that, it's his business. But I for one, won't. I guess I am just venting, because again she proved how really petty and small she really is.

A good friend

A friend of mine I met in SL is a very talented person. She does a radio show on a country music station. You all know my thoughts on most country, but since the station has just begun streaming live over the Web, I have been listening to her when I am off from work. She is on every day from 10 to 2, Central time. I'll paste a link in so y'all can have a listen. She's really quite a hoot, and I am sure you'll be entertained. This is the main page. Go the personalities page and have a look. Her name is Randi Guess, and she's a sweetheart. Even if you don't like the genre, she'll make you laugh.

The link to the stream is at the top of the page under "Listen Live". Go on, give it a whirl.
