Thanksgiving Song

You are whatever you take in

I was thinking about the term "You are what you eat" today. So, what you take in with your eyes, you are in your thoughts. What you take in with your ears you are in your heart. It was written, guard your hearts. Why? For our hearts are the engine of life and it is also a map. It will take the most familiar path when it is presented. If you have sown to the wind you reap a whirlwind. Think clearly and you will see a clean clear path. Seek that.

Proverbs 7.

Tests

At 50 years old, taking a test seemed very harsh treatment to me. I would consider it elder abuse. Firstly, the one must "think" and assess, as this is the point of the test. It INVOLVES memory. When I think of memories I think of the song with Barbara Streisand. Not the usual mental exercise to recall a hidden factoid in the crevices of the the eternal file pocket called the brain. I even studied, the thing we tell our children to do and that we think we remember doing when we were growing up.

I discovered something today in this, we as people never take tests well. The reason, we are not confident. This must be the key, don't study, be confident. That way, you look good and everyone looks at you like you're smart and prepared. Those 40 and above can get away with this more easily. Well, ok, most of the time. I did my studying but I wasn't satisfied it was enough. It is like money, you always need a little more to accomplish what you wish to achieve. This thought you needed more study hits with a vengeance after you have finished and turned in the test. I know you have been there, don't try to tell me differently.

Fortunately, it is not the final test. Yes there is a final test in the end of it all we are set to go through. The Procter is undeniable and will not respect your name, title, position, wealth or anything. What he wants to see is your truth, what is it from and based in. One question with one answer. Either your truth is right or it is a deception and a lie. No cheating or working your grade on the curve.

The test I took wasn't so bad compared to the one above. Failing the test I took just means I re-take it. The above test, if you fail, it is a permanent end with dark consequences of which there is no turning back. Study The Book, it has all the answers and the one truth which trumps all. It's the way out and it'll lighten your life. No doubt, even if you don't know all the answers, if you know the Headmaster, the test was already administered and you will be excused from this one. Don't need to take the same test twice.

Shalom.

The Log of Doom

Well, my job is interesting because of the problems I run into these days. Not that I don't at times create some of my own. I grew up with the training from my parents to "cover the base" to prevent problems. When you do that you must account for why you did it, since everyone thinks you want to take their job.

I seem to be in a perpetual zone of "get it done now" you're a day late. Have you been there? Today for example I was logging in to our computer Network Operations log. It was locked due to the previous operator or the system had it "open". So, I can't open the log or place any entries I need to, I can only "read". So, I create the log and place it in the access file and open that so I can do the logging. It worked, so I get through another "crisis" from the MS file management system. Of course, this is set up so you don't have two stations working on a document at the same time. However, if someone has forgotten to close it or the system malfunctions, beware. You are about to enter the MSFT (misfit) zone, if it doesn't work it is because you are a misfit and you shouldn't even be around a computer.

The engineering staff for Microsoft set up job security in a peculiar way and set it up to be a cash cow. Design a system, have a very ambiguous system flaws which require a patch or technician to troubleshoot. Have flash cards to guide the engineer or use a common flowchart navigation of the problems. Voila, money and need for qualified engineering staff. They make it seem happy and the customer is so grateful. Ok, that was facetious, but I do hear people going "Yeah, Yeah, that's it"! No, Microsoft engineering is more competent than that. My friend Victoria, her Brother-In-Law (Renato) works there, he is quite intelligent and is a great middle manager. Great personality and a good Dad.

From Brazil and loves, yep, Soccer. Sorry for Brazil this year. But, Spain won it! Spain? Spaaaain??? "The rain in Spain falls mostly on the plain." This time it was raining mostly in in Brazil! The storm erupted when the team got off the plane at home. I think they took the coach and, oh, wait, this is a "G" rated blog.
To make a long story short the coach is now working on the plains in Spain.

I would never be a coach for the Brazilian team. It is a life or death position. To win is life to lose is well, a lot of pain and excoriation before you are unceremoniously terminated. Recommendation is to leave Brazil as quickly as possible, incognito.

Now this is what it is like to work in the Media. That's radio, TV, Etc...

So now you know what it's like. But, in Media it's great jobs with lots of opportunity. Juuuuust like coaching Brazil. Yeeeah! You get it. You either win, or, the other option is unthinkable. =-)

Thank to all you media types and those at TMZ; Terminally or Tragic Misfit Zombies.
But you do your job stalking the stars well. Makes it legal in the TMZ zone, well, mostly.

So, you either stalk the stars or help producers waiting for your chance. Or, you are one of the "tweens". You are not an engineer nor college educated, but you have your niche and you are the owner of "The Niche". If in that area you may have a job forever, they always keep those tweens.

Get your coffee and get to your niche slave!

The Eternal Flame of the Natsarim~

Hello,

I have created my Natsarim page for those who are seeking or follow the El Elyon. YHWH and his son Yahushua Ha Mashioch. The King of the Yahudim!

Well I guess life could be easier, yet, if it was, we could not learn the truth could we. We must come to truth by affliction and submission. We would not choose the sorrow that touches our lives most times, but, we find it causes the heart to become more gentle and soft for others to use as a couch of restoration. The softer the heart, the easier it is to have friends use it to rest on and heal.

Shabbat Shalom-Remember his commandments they are not too heavy to bear.

Blogging

I am so new at this blogging! So, you must be patient with such a neophyte, well, all who are advanced anyway. Good morning all, it is 9:50 A.M. here. I am working, so this must be a short little "ditty" on my plain and simple life. Well, such a life as it is.

How are you? Well, I hope! We know how our days can be "tricky" and start wonderfully, then turn as "quick as lightning" to a total catastrophe!! I have been learning new tasks here at work and that is a challenge for me. I am not a "hiring"and developing the "new hires" type!
