It seems the longer we go, the worse things get.
The fiasco in the gulf is just one of many example. We're so busy politicizing this, and trying to place blame and fault (often where it doesn't belong), little focus is being placed on the real issue, and that is an ecological disaster that will linger on [for uncountable years], creating unimaginable consequences from which the southeastern coast of the US may never recover, and place an undue burden on the rest of the country.
[note]Another example is the politicization of physician reimbursements for medicare patients by the Republicans. But I'm not going to get into that. It would take up way too much of my time, and result in even greater aggravation.[/note]
Then there are the customers [at work] who are becoming more stupid by the day, designing systems that are so complicated and convoluted, and change by the minute, they guarantee errors, and non compliance with requirements, forcing suppliers to change procedures that have worked for the past 30+ years [and still work for 99% of all other customers], all in the name of improving quality. But in the end all it really does is create delays in production, and increased costs, without any improvement in quality.
And on top of all this, Edie is going through 10 days of radiation (3 more to go), and my fatigue [or maybe it's just depression] seems to grow worse by the day, forcing me to face the reality, I may not be able to delay treatment much longer.
There just doesn't seem to be any reason to get out of bed any more, except maybe for a bike ride, the only thing that seems to allow me to maintain my sanity in this insane world.
All I want to know is, when will all this insanity end?

I have to agree on the oil spill, stop placing blame and stop the damn leak..
We can send man into space but can't plug a hole in the earth?
I went throught the same crap at work years back now look at the XRX stock, no quality improvement there.................
Do what I did retire early travel, ride your bike and take lots of naps.
See you later in the week!
Thanks!
That day seems to be getting closer and closer, but I'm gonna need some help easing into that.
