Anubis Drives a Tan Suzuki Week 7 & 1/2           

Wednesday?

Yes, I know this is late, but I truly haven’t had the best week. Shifting schedules at work and an increase in school workload made me reevaluate my priorities. I had already given up a great deal of my social life when I started school again, and when I pit this blog against work and school, the blog came in third.

So, I hope this make you, the reader, think: ‘Hey, this guy made the mature choice. He put career and education first,’ and not: ‘This guy doesn’t have what it takes to follow through on this.’

I talked to my boss about giving me a more regular schedule and she agreed. Hopefully I’ll be able to balance things much better from here on out. Finals week may be a bit of a challenge, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

This Sunday I promise (I know, I know. We’ve heard this before) to have a full post. I’ll go into much more detail about some of the awkward and tragic situations working in this field has gotten me into. I’m even working on an idea concerning the health, safety, training and licensure requirements for Funeral Homes and Prep Rooms (where embalmings are performed) and comparing them to similar standards in another very different type of business that also deals with blood borne pathogens. And yes, it is a secret what the compared business will be, but only because if I told you, you might just do the research yourselves. Then there would be no point in me telling you because you already know.

That’s all for now.

Like last time, if you have any questions, concerns, suggestions, spelling or grammatical corrections (how will I ever learn if no one ever says anything), words of support or encouragement, confessions of love, hate-filled rantings of utter distain, or anything else for me, do not hesitate to email me at funhomeambo@gmail.com.

I’ll post a new one of these every week. Sometimes they’re a little late, but they always get posted eventually. Feel free to e-mail me and call me a loser if I don’t live up to my self-imposed deadline. Thank you, again, Charmane for not letting me slack off on this anymore than I already had.

Charmane is one of those rare breed of friends who believe and encourage you, who never lets you give up on your dreams, and always has time to lend a sympathetic ear. And . . . I just sat here for probably 20 min. trying to think of other ways to shower praise on her while not being overwhelmingly cliché, or inadvertently insulting all my other friends. The support and encouragement among my friends for this project has been universally positive, but Charmane has been the loudest and most . . . um, uh. I’m tired and my writer’s block keeps getting worse. Long story short: She’s an amazing woman and she deserves recognition. I just wish I had the words right now to thank her properly, but I don’t. I hope the thought at least will count for something.

Hope you enjoyed it and I thank you for reading all of this or skipping to the end, whichever is the case.
