So many people around me are in **** moods lately. Whether it is dating, career, irrational worries, young people, whatever. It is hard to not let it affect you. I am finding it very irritating. People need to really lighten up.

This reminds me of one of the stupidest interview questions I have ever had asked. It was my fourth interview and was with the president of one of the nation's biggest hospice organizations. I was interviewing for an RVP job and did not really want it as I was trying to get away from business travel. It would have been a good move at the time though as RVP would have been my highest spot on the org chart yet. She started off the interview with this question: So what did you do yesterday that changed someone's life?

I knew right then and there that a) I did not want this job and b) she would not offer me this job.

So the cherry trees are blooming like crazy, the redbuds are pushing buds and its hard to make the argument that flowering trees aren't the pretties ******* ***** in the world.

However, there are only two such trees on my drive to and from work (95% of my driving) so I don't see any cherries. At least I get plenty of dogwoods, wisteria, apples etc. But man, its all so fleeting. Last year I was gone for a week-and-a-half in April and literally missed all the wisteria except the trail end of one. Anyway, for whatever reason I've been thinking a lot about death the past few weeks and I don't know why but thinking about the trees really crystallized my thoughts. I know it isn't anything knew or profound here but a couple days ago it really sunk in for me that every moment we live we're never getting back and it's one second less to live.

Perhaps four, or five times more? Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless...

Why is how to form a line at a coffee shop so difficult? If they have lanes roped out to keep people moving through without blocking the door, then use them. And after you've paid, get out of the way so the person behind you can get their coffee.

Even worse is when they're side by side with someone driving the limit in the right hand lane, completely killing the flow of traffic while being totally oblivious. Infuriating!

You should have feigned shock and said something along the lines of, "I thought there were no witnesses! How did you find out about that!?"

******* girlfriend wants to go a on a "weekend getaway" as if that isn't torturous enough her idea of the weekend is 5 days. Now, I am going to have to look forward to throwing money out the window and five days in the country with nothing to do.
