In a given day I'm granted a certain level of patience which I go through during the day.  Somedays the bar decreases slowly giving me ample time to finish the day with a smile, somedays (cough)today(/cough) my bar drains faster than an SUV gas tank.  I was having a rough day today that caused me to be in a bad mood at the end of the day, now for the Norwegian in me, I apologize to anyone that was affected by my mood.  There are just somedays that I get overwhelmed and just wanna close the laptop, pack it in my backpack quietly, take it home, and go to the beach and mipe my mind clean.   I find that I typically get in these moods after a holiday.  I get a certain amount of time off and it takes me half of that time to get used to the fact that I am off.  Then when I get back I'm all groggy and can't focus.  Kind of like when you are sick and you take cold medicine, you can sleep for a long time, but when you wake up you have medicine head which sucks just as bad, even though you are healthy enough to resume activities. 

I just got back from working out which helped out a ton.  So then I decided to blow off some steam to the Tabulas crowd...you guys just get me.  We should totally have a Tabulas meetup sometime.  That would be awesome!!

I was talking to someone the other day that I had helped figure out a problem.  He had mentioned that he told a buddy about the fix and his buddy asked him if he was going to document the fix, the guy in turn said, "No, then they'll have no need for me if they have all of my knowledge".  This got me thinking about how valuable employees are to companies and if they are expendable if they have the knowledge in order to train someone else to do it for cheaper. 

It gets one curious as far as what to divulge and what not to.  I myself try to document to the best of my ability but sometimes wonder if a majority of my value is based on my abilities or my vast knowledge from my time at the company and how I can recall anything that occured in the past.  I know the company I work for values me as a contribution to the team...but I can understand where other people are coming from when they have those FUDs(Fears, Uncertainties, and Doubts)
