99% Of Us Is Failure
Well, the last few days have been pretty tough. This has made me an absolute bear to live with, I'm sure. I've been snarky, grumpy, and relatively foul. At least I'm aware of it, anyways.
Things tend to be challenging / stressful / frustrating (call it what you will) when your company is in the process of trying to find a buyer / investor / etc., and when the ball team that you've put 3 years of effort into (which recently resulted in a provincial championship) is in danger of being torn apart by a conflict between two families on the team.
I mentioned in my last entry here that there's three things in my life that I put effort into: My Family, My Work, and My Team. That's really about it. And these three things together tend to keep me sane and nicely balanced, and quite happy (of late). The big problem is that two of these things are now being threatened. The mere prospect of this is enough to make me very frustrated and quite worried.
However, this was the attitude over the last few days. Now, I'm starting to come out of the frustration phase and am moving into the "dammit, let's do something about this" phase. This should pan out better... well, let's hope, anyways.
On another note, I would like to politely request of anyone in Calgary who owns a Ferarri, Bentley, Aston Martin, Maserati (or other similarly wonderful vehicle) please refrain from driving their vehicle towards me, past me, or along side me. Also please avoid parking said vehicles on any roads upon which I may be driving. Should this polite request be ignored, I shall begin kicking said vehicles in jealousy.
That is all.
