Rob's Rantings

Welcome! On this page you'll find my ranting about just about anything. Some of it might even be useful! Probably not though, most people think what I say is just useless dribble. I can't really argue with that though.

Craftmatic Adjustable Bed

If the time ever comes that I need to have a bed like a hospital bed I probably belong there then in my house in some bed.  They advertise these silly things on TV all the time which makes me wonder how they can be so affordable with all the commercials on TV.  More junk most people don’t need.

Boston Legal

Not bad for a spinoff. If you liked Spader when he was on "The Practice" then this is a show for you. Last spinoff that I enjoyed was "Frasier".

I'm frankly just waiting for the new season of Alias to start. I'd rather be watching that.

On another note they moved ST:Enterprise to Friday night. Bad move since that's family night at the house and I watch family movies with the kids. Oh well...

Blogs are combined

Well the blogs have been combined and I've deleted the other one as they now all exist in this one. I'll be able to keep entering more blogs this way.

Combine the blogs

I've decided today that I'm going to combine my couple of blogs together so I can just work on the one. I'm not sure when I will get to it but hopefully soon.

Is it all worth it?

I'm traveling to Richmond VA on request from work on the 15th. They called me and said it was critical I attend on the 15th and asked if I would come off leave to do it. Part of me had no issue with this and I look at it as great opportunity that they wanted me to go out there. The other side of me was annoyed that I can't take leave without work in the way. Somewhere in the middle my reason said that this was not really a bad thing. I enjoy being needed by work. My only wish was that I was actually respected by more people than I am. I still feel many times as if there are so many people out there in the company that think I'm off my rocker. I've proven my worth more than enough times I continue to do outstanding work. I try not to let things like this get to me but I feel it's all part of my self improvement.

Going to VA I look at another opportunity to do well in the company and get face time with others to show them I really do know what I'm doing. Winning people over has been tough and it always is. The politics of doing a good job I could really do without. I want to honestly tell people many times how I feel but I can't because of the impact of my statements. This meeting will be no exception. I know that they would not have called me if they didn't want my opinion but that doesn't change the way that I feel. I'm going to do my best as I always do and I hope that it will get me further forward in the company instead of behind.
