Crossroads

We all have those times in our lives when we hit a crossroad. What way to we go? Recent cutbacks at work has put me in a position of uncertainty. I'm the type of person who needs security. I don't do very well without it. Right now with my hours slashed and without a full time paycheque I'm in a position of panic, firing on all cylinders, planning my next move. I don't want to get stuck in a position I hate at a company just to get payed, but I do have to pay my bills, I do enjoy eating. It's been suggested to me several times now to start my own consulting company to help small businesses get their safety programs started. The thought of it makes me anxious. I know nothing about starting a business, and where would I get the money to start it to begin with. At the same time, it is something that is becoming higher in demand, and pushing itself as necessary into residential construction. What do I do? I'm stuck and have no idea where to turn at this point. For now I'll start researching I guess as I pound the pavement with many others who have recently undergone the same fate.

Bored at Work

How I think Dr. Suess would see mastery and mediocrity and quickly write about it if he were bored at work like I am right now.


Like a choose your own adventure book,
so many choices wherever you look.

Should I spend more time in bed?
Or, get up and do pushups and situps instead?

Keep on walking by that man on the street?
Or, stop for a minute to get him something to eat?

Lay on the couch to watch some TV?
Or, go outside running where there's way more to see?

Say, "hey, how are you?" and keep waking by?
Or sit down and mean it when you listen to the reply?

Eat processed food because it is fast?
Or pack a fresh lunch so your arteries last?

Meet a friend for coffee and talk face to face?
Or, send a note on Facebook to quickly touch base?

It's all up to you, whatever you choose.
You make the right choice, you've got nothing to lose.
