I’m on my first plane back to my life.  I wanted to return a little sooner because I missed my children.  If they had been with me, I would have wanted to stay a few more days.  Awful time in Cancun  She still likes to bait, but I am learning to ignore her.

I’m really self reflecting, and I’m ready to work on making changes in my life.

The trip?  Cancun is for younger people.  Last time I stayed at the Riviera Maya, and it was a major difference.  There are older people and families there, so you don’t have to deal with the drunken stupor that you deal with in Cancun.  We had some issues with the resort in the beginning, but we resolved the issues and upgraded.  SO MUCH BETTER!  I think it will be my last trip to Cancun.  If anything, I will stay in Cozumel and Riviera Maya.  Seems the old folks like me have a better time over there.

Here are the pictures I took:

I am ready to get the hell out of here for a while. The day I become a full-time freelance writer is the day when I will experience real happiness. I won’t have to deal with annoying coworkers who define themselves as an employee, and nothing else.

I am at work creating an enhancement design document. First, no one has shown me what the enhancements to the system will be. Second, it took these people over five years to fully understand the current system. Third, they keep changing the requirements every day.

I send the experts a section for one of the functional areas. Note that I told them that this is just a section and not the entire document, so to let me know where to add additional information. I got feedback indicating that this reads more like a user manual and that it needs to show the process. I don’t know if these people can’t see very well or what. I said in my email that this is just a portion. On top of that, I am using the template for this section from a document one of them gave me. This same guy is going to tell me to add more information. This portion is verbatim what he gave me, and actually more! I had to repeat like ten times that this is not the entire design document.

I think I did a damn good job for someone who doesn’t fully understand the system or the requirements. They are the ones that need to add the missing pieces.

I am ready to leave today and not come back til next week. Cancun, here I come! I can’t wait for the day I work for myself again. I can’t stand working for other people. The listening skills and the egos run rampant in companies, and I want out. I give myself another year.
