Today is my first day back working in a facility that I haven’t been at in about 3 years.  This is the site that I first started out at, so it’s a homecoming of sorts.  Except that there is about a 90% change in the people that were here back then to who is here today.  I barely recognize most of these people.  And I’ve already gotten the “who are you?” look from a couple of people.  They don’t realize I’ve been with the company for over 6 years.  But there are a few familiar faces.  Namely my good friend Brian.  A fellow IT Analyst.

Partners in Crime

This is me and Brian in this building about 4 years ago.  Look at me then.  So young.  So vibrant.  So full of life.  Not a care in the world.  And Brian.  He, unfortunately, still looks like this.  He and I go way back.  Kind of like Han Solo and Chewbacca.  Naturally, Brian would be Chewbacca, since he’s taller.  And ugly as sin. ;)  That might be too harsh.  Let’s just say he’s not as good looking as Chewbacca.  Yeah.  That’s sounds better.

Han & Chewy

Anyway, it’s good to be back.  I will miss my friends from the other facility I was at.  They took care of me.  Particularly, Maria, Hilda, and Romy.  They would always hook me up with breakfast.  Which was good since 83% of the time I was running too late to pick it up myself.  I am fairly certain I won’t get that kind of love here.  But I’ll survive.  I think…

Today's Deep Thought

  • Sometimes, when I drive across the desert in the middle of the night, with no other cars around, I start imagining: what if there were no civilization out there? No cities, no factories, no people? And then I think: no people or factories? Then who made this car? And this highway? And I get so confused I have to stick my head out the window into the driving rain---unless there's lightning, because I could get struck on the head by a bolt.
