HELP WANTED: Humans need not apply, Robots only.
I used to wonder why anyone would ever want to have a robot for an employee.
Now I know why. Robots do what they are told and only what they are told. They don't get curious unless you program them to be curious, they just do what they are told.
If it doesn't do what it's told to do
It's broken and you fix it or get a new one.
Humans however don't do what they are told
They do what the hell ever they feel like
And I'm no different but if I have to fix my problems I know I did it and will say hey you know what? That's my bad let me fix that and if the button says don't push me
I don't push the freaking button.
I may want to push the button
I may even wonder what would happen when you push the button
But I don't let my desire to push the button control my destiny
There is a reason you don't push the button and you know you don't even need to know why you don't push the button.
Like in my job there is a machine that you don't walk up to and push 1 then enter from the main screen.
Why because it shuts down the whole building.
Not exactly a smart thing to put on a machine but hey I don't push 1 enter from the main screen.
WHY?
Because I'm not supposed to do that, that's why.
So if you are reading this and you make robots, hurry up and make them affordable and soon
I need a dozen.

Oh, the joys of parenting.
So a week or so ago my daughter calls me, I can tell it's her because her phone rings distinctive from other phone calls. I glance at the time, it's about the time she would be getting out of school.
I answer expecting her to say something like hey can I go to your house instead of mom's. Instead right after I say, Hello.
She says, "What's the sentence for a class one misdemeanor?"
Well the Hello, quickly becomes HELL NO in my head. But I manage to keep it together and ask the best possible question, Why?
"Just because." she says indifferently.
"are you in trouble?"
No
Are you planning on getting into trouble?
No
Why do you need to know this information
Someone I know hit there Mom
You didn't hit your Mom, did you? I tried not to sound hopeful.
I well it really depends on some things but it could be some jail time to probation or both. Where are you?
At Mom's
OK are you sure you aren't planning on hitting her?
Yes Dad, OK thanks for the info love you bye
Bye

It's only in my head
And it’s one more day living in my life. My absence from writing is one of both time and introspection. Trying to figure things out. Things were easier in the drink and not thing phase. More expensive but less complicated. I didn’t ponder things as much, just pour the bourbon in the glass barkeep and keep ’em coming until you think I need to call a cab.
I’ve been stuck in my thoughts about my past. I’ve forced myself to walk to the edge to get as close as I dare to the darkness and then to see if I could step once more. I know I could except for one thing, well two actually. I can’t leave them with the same sleepless nights and constant wondering and assigning blame to myself.
I wonder what it would take though, what would have to happen to push that beyond that limit. I can hear her calling from across the void. All that we don’t know about that crossing. And it’s one more day and it’s been so long .
So I walk in between living and dying.
And I poured another bourbon in the glass
It won’t hurt as much if I can’t feel it.

New Year
When you are a kid the time of the year that represents the new beginning in your life is late August and/or early September when school starts where ever you are that differs but generally it’s during this time of year. As an adult all of a sudden it becomes January. So as an adult you have to over come 12 to 16 years of indoctrination of changing life at a certain time of year to another.
While you are in school the change is mostly out of your own hands – it just happens. You start a new grade and a new agenda exists and you adapt or you don’t to the changes that engulf you.
Now life sort of begins to prepare you for the calendar changing while you are in college you have the semester changes between December and January but it’s undermined by concept of the school year still being run on the August/September start and May/June ending.
So still you are being indoctrinated to begin change in your life around the end of summer, start of fall period of time. Then after all that the only real changes come from changing jobs, starting/ending relationships, having kids the real things in life. However these things don’t happen every year so we invent these things that we should try to change in our lives in the form of resolutions. But are they really the things that we need to change in our lives? Maybe they are though but maybe we are just trying to cling to something from our social introduction that we need to change things start anew in some way with the changing of the calendar.
However if these are indeed things we need to change why wait for the start of the year? Just make the changes. Most of us don’t break the mold, rock the boat and live out our quiet little lives unnoticed mainly except in our little worlds. Now I’m not saying that the thing in anyone persons life is meaningless because most of us live and die by the things that surround us in the microcosm of our lives. We rarely if ever break out of the shell of comfort that we surround ourselves in and when the comfort that we surround our self in is threatened it becomes the most important thing in your life. So without actually making a resolution I’m going to spend more time breaking out of my own little area of comfort and push the envelope a little more and I invite you to do the same. Rock the boat a little bit, push a button, stand when you are expected to sit, sit when you should stand and argue the opposite point of view just to be different. Anyway happy new year to any and all you read this have a great day and a better tomorrow and play nice in the neighborhood.

invisible don's week of slacking continued part four
Back to Monday 12-22 continued
Well Dinner was good in the combined efforts of the two chefs working in two different kitchens 11 miles apart. Oh yes this is true. One of my kids said the food was disgusting and to children ages 11, 9, 7, 6 and 3 it was not what they would want. So whichever of my blessed souls said “Ew, this is disgusting!” Caused a chain reaction of the food is nasty chorus at the children’s table. This was further compounded by the TV being on no child listening to a parent, so I turned off the TV. Simple enough right. Well 4 of the 5 saw the logic in my action and immediately sat back down grumbling a little but sitting and eating none the less. All save one child who decided to throw a fit at this point. The world had ended for this child. I was chastised and asked do you like it better now? Well of course I like it better now I’m the King of the Bastards I’ve made a child cry my day is complete and I can rest easy now.
No of course I don’t like it better now but I’ll be drinking soon so it will all be good momentarily and at the point I think I did excuse my self from the table to fix a rather stout Bourbon and Coke and had a rather delightful flashback of the cashier while I was making said beverage. During that time the child was calmed down and the TV turned back on as promised and the food is nasty chorus had ended and all the little children decided that having entertainment was better than not having entertainment while choking down disgusting food.
Dinner ended and now it was present time. Yes I know the 22nd is not Christmas but that was when all of the clan could be together so that is when we did the thing. So the gift giving began and shreds of paper filled the air. The beta unit had attempted to have some order in things while the gifts were being opened but that lasted through the first round of gifts.
Every child was happy and of course opened something with small pieces which would most likely be lost on the way to respective homes and cause much wailing again.
The children and adults played the rest of the evening. Doodle got the Nick trivia game. The other one and I watch too many cartoons because we knew the answers to a lot of things.
Then the kids were off to bed and the adults were not far behind.
Tuesday 12-23
I woke up the next day having one of those dreams that you dream you are exactly where you are in the world at that moment doing exactly what you are doing sleeping and then being awoken by something. Well there I was sleeping in the room I was sharing with stunt boy and in runs the Beta Unit screaming “WTF is up with this online thing you write!” and stomps out of the room. OH fuck. Ok now I’m awake. Now the question is did I just dream that or did that really just happen. The first clue should have been that you don’t normal observe yourself in a situation in your life and I was seeing it all from the corner of the room. Well it didn’t take long to convince myself that I had dreamed that and it didn’t really happen but oh god that wasn’t a refreshing way to wake up.
Much of the rest of that day was spent packing at one end of the trip and unpacking at the other end of the trip and then driving back to the ‘Noke from west by god.
Nothing much exciting happened at that point. The other one lent me his copy of “The Da Vinci Code” by Dan Brown – which I have since completed. And have looked at the painting and said huh I’ll be damned
Back in the ‘Noke I already have a message from CPG and she was nasty on it YOU NEED TO CALL ME AND LET ME KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON FOR THE HOLIDAYS. YOU NEED TO CALL ME AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO TOWN.
Well Merry Christmas to you too CPG. Well I waited like 30 minutes to call her and explained that I had already told her that the kids would be at my house until 1 or 2 on Christmas day and then you (CPG) could pick them up and they can either spend the night with you or you can bring them back to my house that night either way works for me. – Well she is nasty in her FINE and hangs up. OK then glad to see the holiday spirit is festive in your heart this year. Well the kids and I ended up playing late and then went to bed
Wednesday 12-24
This was spent playing all day. Doodle had a few friends over and she visited some too. Stunt boy and I hung out most of the day playing his games. He was asking every couple of minutes if he could open a new present.
That was pretty much the whole day reading, playing games and watching movies.
Christmas is coming ………..in the next installment of invisible don stay tuned.
Yeah I know I have problems but at least I know I have them. Have a great day and even better tomorrow. Play nice in the neighborhood.
