Ever have......

Ever have one of those days that are both good and bad at the same time?

Well, today is starting off to be one of those days, being both good and bad at the same time. The good part is work is a little slow, and there is nothing for me to do, but it's also bad for the exact same reason.

It's like when I ride my bike on the river trail with friends who are stronger than me. It's good because there are no traffic lights or intersections to slow us down, but it's bad because there are no traffic lights or intersections to slow us down, giving me a chance to catch my breath.

Oh well, such is life, so here I sit with nothing much else to do except post to my blog, and wait for the traffic to die down, before maybe heading home. I say maybe because I am expecting a shipment of wine, from one of the wine clubs I belong to, to be delivered by UPS today at work.

[I think I'll change all my ship to addresses to my home address, so this doesn't happen again.]

In the mean time, I'm going to go bug my co-workers. :)

UPDATE: 12 PM

It's too bad I didn't go home early, since after trying to catch up on some paper work I always keep putting off [I think I know why now], I got all worked up when I found a number of paper work errors.

Fortunately they weren't major problems, and I discovered them before an auditor did, but now I can't help but wonder what other problems may be out there that haven't been discovered yet.

well, you've certainly found plenty to do! And if you came to work four days a week instead of two imagine how motivated I would be with you riding my A&** all day.

RE: Computer/Camera

If you are taking your laptop, you can easily upload your video and pictures to your laptop if you are concerned about running out of space on your cards.

By the way, did you get the Mac?

My concerns reaffirmed today

When I was first diagnosed with MCL, I pretty much read just about everything I could get my hands on, I attended various conferences, and I talked to anyone who would listen. One of the most important lessons I learned, and which I've mentioned numerous times before was No one cares more about you than you. But in addition to that, I learned to fear the drug Doxorubicin , AKA Adriamycin, Doxil, Hydroxydoxorubicin, or more affectionately the Red Devil. Besides being a deadly chemical, as is the case with most chemotherapy drugs, it is one of the few chemotherapy drugs known to cause permanent heart damage. I even heard Dr. Sandra Horning , a noted Stanford lymphoma specialist, state at the first lymphoma conference I attended in LA, there was no evidence Doxorubicin provided any added benefit to chemotherapy protocols. This was music to my ears, since Doxorubicin is very common in most lymphoma treatment protocols. And even though Dr. Horning has since changed her tune [which my sk...

Bowling: A metaphor on life [sorta]

Over the past 15+ years the game of bowling has changed dramatically. Not only has the equipment changed, making it easier for bowlers of all ages and physical conditions to participate, and score well, but there have even been major advances to how the lanes are prepared for the start of bowling. No longer is it just heavy oil, light oil, long oil, short oil, or no oil, with the latest equipment, the amount of oil can be varied from front to back and side to side, producing a myriad of patterns designed to make the game more interesting, more challenging and as you might surmise, more frustrating. No longer does the "one ball fits all" approach work any more either. In order to navigate all the differing possible lane conditions, you need to have a varied selection of bowling balls. Most pros will tell you the average bowler needs 3 balls, plus a ball for spares, but to be an above average bowler you'll need at least 6 balls, with many possessing more than that. But just...

Fatigue! Part II - Maybe it is real?

Or it's actually Motivational Deficiency Disorder, MoDeD (pronounced Mo-Dee-Dee) for short. In a report this week by Roy Moynihan who reports for the British Medical Journal Austrailian scientists may have come across the reason for extreme laziness . The condition is claimed to affect up to one in five Australians and is characterised by overwhelming and debilitating apathy. Neuroscientists at the University of Newcastle in Australia say that in severe cases motivational deficiency disorder can be fatal, because the condition reduces the motivation to breathe. Neurologist Leth Argos is part of the team that has identified the disorder, which can be diagnosed using a combination of positron emission tomography and low scores on a motivation rating scale, previously validated in elite athletes. "This disorder is poorly understood," Professor Argos told the BMJ. "It is underdiagnosed and undertreated." Who knew? Maybe I have MoDeD, from my attempts to become a...
