I am taking far too much pleasure in my old company imploding with all the things I said that got me on the crap list.

- Boss on a performance plan..
- Facility guy who was the best I ever worked with gave his notice this week.
- The young engineer who is a tall strapping nordic guy just gave notice and he was the golden boy for good reason, brilliantly smart and charisma for days.

I should not be this happy about this but I am. The schadenfreude is immeasurable.

I am dying to phone the HR person and 'check-up'.

You know what fn sucks? Sitting by your moms bedside in ICU listening to her struggling to take her last breaths all night.

That final breathe is something else. You just know. When my mom did maid she was making jokes to the bitter end. After getting pumped full of goo. Then the room files out and just your dad left there with a corpse, he cries for the first time i had ever seen and says 'I wanna get out of here, there is a desd body in here'. I'm thinking the exact same thing and we left. Last time I ever saw her.

She chose her end, not cancer. I think that's kinda cool, I guess.

Just know, you will never get over it, just accept it and embrace it. She desrves your pain.

Be well buds.

My uncle had a stroke on Valentine’s Day and I went up to see him. He wasn’t looking good, but the family was hoping he’d spring back. He lived on a farm by himself; they estimate he was found 10 hours after the stroke--as soon as I heard that, I knew it was over. The doctor kept coming in and gently steering the family toward comfort care, and nobody wanted to hear it. I can’t say I blame them. He died a few days later.

His funeral was today and while sitting there watching the photo montage, the future came into alarming focus: I’m going to be going to a lot of funerals in the next few years. It’s been weighing heavily on me all day. My mom’s had lots of health problems, and I’m just not ready for her to die any time soon. Nobody prepares you for this.

I'm only 42 and I've lost eight people in the last three years. Only one was an appropriate age to die. All of them were more than friends.
