Every time I go into the
area online where my blog is kept I get irritated. I go back as far
as I can which is December 31, 2005. Blogger says that's when I
started blogging but I know that it's not I started years before. I
don't know what years means three for five years before. I started
blogging, really when we're in the old building just off fifth East
the building we shared with Department Determination Services DDS of
the Social Security Administration. The reason I know this is because
that's when I started working with the state in 1998. I transitioned
from the independent living center. I kept a journal on my computer
but that journal was not a blog. Sadly I lost the journal somewhere
along the line. And I didn't start blogging today took over the reign
of Access Utah Network. I had access to the Internet! I had a T1
connection it was fast. I spent my days when not on the phone
answering questions cruising around the Internet and that's when I
first became exposed to blogs. I'd been hearing of blogs but I wasn't
quite sure what I was reading were blogs. I soon figured out they
were. I wasn't sure what I was doing when I started my first blog.
I'd gotten involved in reading the blog of a young medical student
who I followed through the last of her medical school and then her
training, residency in turn etc. Soon had taken off as a full-fledged
blogger. I'm sure about like this before somewhere in this blog
possibly numerous times but my main goal on the blog was to write 500
words a day, every day. I did pretty well I've done pretty well. The
writing the 500 words used to threaten me because I'm not sure if I
would be able to fulfill that personal commitment to myself and come
up with 500 words of content. However, I've done pretty well I
believe over the years.
Nobody reads my blog and
that's okay. I probably have about seven or eight readers that are
constant family members in such then I have a group of friends that
periodically dip into the blog. Every once in a while somebody leaves
a comment. But it's out there every day something new or kind of new.
I have over 3000 posts now and that is significant to me. This tells
me I could write a book (like I know I could write a book I just
didn't know if I could be consistent posting which is like being
consistent writing so I know I can do it now). So, I guess I can stop
blogging but I don't think that's going to happen. Blogging,
journalizing is my lifeblood. I don't feel accomplished now,
especially in my “golden years” unless I blog for the day.
Dianne, my best friend, says my blog makes her laugh and that makes
me happy. Not that I'm a nice guy is important to me that someone
thinks I'm funny, I guess. I don't know if Dianne reads every day,
but she probably does, this something to read she's on it she's
incredibly brilliant. So smart.
Today, once again I
starred as Santa Claus,At the independent living center annual holiday
function. I've done this every year for over 20 years, at least. I
basically sit there have a person come up wish them a Merry Christmas
and stuff whatever the shop pass from me to give them this year today
was little cups of putting with pipe cleaner antlers sticking out. I
hope we were not in violation is some sort of OSHA regulations. I
enjoy the assignment. I enjoying meeting my old workmates and seeing
them once again and thankful that they're still around and that I'm
still around in that we all continued to talk to each other. Change
is the only constant but the Christmas function hardly ever changes I
don't know how that fits in the paradigm but it does. We had a real
meal this year, not that we have not had in previous years but
sometimes it's been really reaching. Today was a ham dinner with
sliced ham (real ham not that pressed mystery meet ham stuff). The
men felt somewhat rushed in a bit more chaotic than usual just
because there was 150 new people touring the building today but I
think we fed them all and we fed them well.…
