Texas

You know I don't have anything specifically against Texas, I just have definite feelings on what I have observed here. You see, I'm an outsider looking into what I can see as almost a foreign land. This is not just a weather thing, it's a cultural thing as well.

The whole vibe here is much more "California-like" than any other state I have been in. It's a fast-paced, get out of my way attitude state that people are in a hurry to get somewhere, wherever it is they are going, no matter what time it is. Why are people in such a hurry? And the driving.......oh dear!

People drive like they are the only ones on the road. Its insane!! No wonder these people have caused so many problems when a bunch of them moved to the Springs. Good night! It's like a bunch of senior citizens ignoring the fact that they are on the road with the entire population of New York!!

Every time we have to go from work to the hotel, or vice-versa, I fear for my life! LOL!

Then we have the "scenery"....at least what there is to it. Flat in all directions. Hot as the miserable time of Summer in California, only with 200% humidity on top of that! I mean at 10:30pm the other night it was storming, raining in sheets, lightning and thunder, and close to 90 degrees! How miserable is that?! Thank you Lord for giving us air-conditioning!!

Well, I am feeling better than when I first arrived here. This is a good thing. I'm still not sleeping the best, I will have to figure something out for that. But overall I am doing better.

Hopefully soon I will be able to get to work on the graphics. I have been here for several days already and have had nothing to do for most of that time. Boooooring! I found out once I got here that they had sent me out here too early. Probably a week too early. But oh well, they are paying me to sit on my haunches and do nothing.

"Worked" a whole day yesterday. I do use the term loosely. "Worked" I mean. I really accomplished very little. Thus why I am writing this as I sit waiting for the morning meeting that is close to an hour away. What to do, what to do.

Oh well. Have a nice day and I will try also.

Where ever you go, there you are. At least think you are....What would I know about it, I'm not you!!
