Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ Into the future
Welp there went another week. I tell ya, my life is on autopilot until i get to work, then auto pilot turns on again until I’m home. I hit the sheets and autopilot turns back on again.
I believe I have become a drone. Like one of those Salarymen in China, 1/2 dead shuffling to and from work almost unconscious. Its nerve racking to think I too am doing this. Except I’m not Asian, I dont smoke like its going out of style and my bedroom is a big as one of their apartments. Anyhow, so I got to thinking “how can I become the Unsalaryman? What can I do to mix things up a bit?” Unfortunately nothing, if I did I wouldn’t make it to work, I wouldn’t sleep, and I wouldn’t be able to see my family and my pretty baby. Its almost as if being on autopilot in the morning is a good thing. I get to work at the same time, I drive exactly the same way and unless I’m stopping for gas or food I arrive and leave at just about the same time.
What does mix things up is once I get home, I have just about no control over what we will be doing. I sorta like that. I mean I’m able to put my opinion in and change the course of things, but rarely the thing were doing something I started. So with that I end up doing stuff I normally wouldn’t do, which is fine my me, I’m boring to most anyhow! I enjoy the fact that other than being at home my life doesn’t have much chaos. Yeah stuff comes up at work, but I’m able to work though those things realitively easy. Having kids, especially older kids adds fun stuff to do, taking them to their friends houses, meeting their parents, listening to their stories and how their day went. I’m glad Caitlin is an active girl, it keeps Jen and I busy. I wish Chris was more active but he’s starting to be like how myself (and I’d image how his dad) was growing up. He stays inside playing video games and watches tv. He doesn’t have a computer or I’d imagine he’d be on that all day. I’m hoping one we get him into a sport he likes this will change a bit. Caitlin will be in softball soon, and having Chris in a sport will give him something to look forward to other than making Tony Hawk do some new trick or whatever.
Anyhow I haven’t been talking much about myself (and my family) in my blog and I realized I need to braindump some of this info in my head. I’m hoping this will generate some discussion in both LJ and my blog instead of me just reblogging about something cool I found online.
