Green Eggs and Spam

I spent far too long deleting trackback spam. Then I realized I could batch delete it with MT Blacklist. DUH!?!

The other day I went to a dinner party with Glenn. His friends Alex and Asook invited a bunch of friends over for a Korean dinner. The food was terrific! Asook made everything herself. Their little daughter ran around and Asook stayed in the kitchen frying. She would come out to put food in front of us and joke and laugh. She was so happy. If I was in that postion, I would have been hyperventilating! Too many people, too many things to do, possible failure so close at hand! Asook was calm and lovely. This afternoon at work, when everything seemed to be falling apart and I was at my most anxious, I thought of Asook. Smiling and laughing and not letting anything get to her. I decided to not let any of the events get to me. I mean, what is the worst that could happen? It’s not like I work in a field where people will die if I make a mistake.

Thursday I leave. One more night here. I can’t wait to go home.

    Donna,
    I have been preaching just exactly the realization you came to. Take one thing at a time, finish it, then go on to the next. Don’t get anxious or nervous, just do your best. For the last 10+ years in engineering I see a lot of younger kids not make it because they don’t have that attitude. While some say its bad, its more of self preservation. Stressing for almost 30 years WILL probably end your life sooner. So far in 2004 I had nearly 7 coworkers pass away. In a small world that I work in, that quite a bit. Anyways I do hope the day goes well and the trip home goes well too. Take it easy.
