am i crazy or just bored

i had this project for work a few weeks ago to create a survey for all of our stores. we decided to make these surveys a little more than just a sheet of paper with some questions. we wanted our customers to look at them and know that we spent time on this and that we care about what they think. well i said all that to say that i got the opportunity to create the survey. now let me preface by saying it is nothing special and honestly anyone who knows anything about graphic design would probably laugh at it but for me it was a first and it was a blast. to be perfectly honest it was maybe one of the most enjoyable things i have done at my job. it wasn't that i loved the survey but rather that i got to create something. this is strange for me because i never considered myself to be all that creative but now that i look back i never had the chance to be that creative. when i lived with my parents i wasn't self aware enough to know what i wanted to do or what would be enjoyable. so i did like most people do, fit in. and in college i took the route that seemed best which was a business degree and i don't have to tell you that business school is not the place to explore your creative (or artistic) side. i am not blaming anyone or regretting my decisions but now that i have created something i want to do it again. maybe it has just been a boring last few days of looking at contracts but i find myself thinking about how in my job i can create something again.

blogging again and not sure if that is good for anyone but me

looking at my yard it is obvious that it needs to be mowed.  and that is where the problem lies. how do you mow when the mower is broken?  the answer is simple, you use the weedeater.  which in my situation is perfect because my yard is all weeds and no grass. so if I am abiding by the proper usage of my equipment I should have been using the weedeater all along. if i would have been doing from the beginning that would the mower still be broken?  now that is a very deep and serious problem....ok solved it, I will just weedeat it all, that wasn't as hard as I thought.

I decided this past weekend that I wasn't happy with the way the furniture in my office was positioned.  I know exactly what you are thinking.  he moved it around and then it ended back where he had it from the beginning. well you are wrong, it is all in a new position plus I removed the fake tree from the corner. I think I like the look better now or maybe I don't and I only enjoy it because it is different.

at work I created a survey that will be used for multiple purposes and it needed to be translated to spanish.  I don't speak spanish much less read or write it.  but I did find this website that translated it for me.  but then i had the thought that the website was a hoax and it was going to make me look like a total dbag. so I sent it to one of our spanish speaking/reading/writing employees.  he changed a bunch of it up and didn't mention that any of it was off color but merely it just wasn't perfect translation.  but now that they are being printed I am hoping this guy likes me and is not trying to hose me. I am so paranoid.  really I am not worried about but I didn't have those thoughts.

and finally my parting thoughts. my wife started running a couple months ago and she is so awesome.  she had never run before, i mean never and now she is running three miles three times a week easy.  her legs are smoking and she looks freaking awesome.
