Getting back on that horse...

After much time away from even other peoples blogs, i was ambling through a family member's past posts, and it got me wondering if this account was still open. Turns out it is. Turns out the last time i posted anything was when i created the damn thing years back, but it turns out i was somehow still signed in. aside from obvious security concerns, it made it a lot easier not having to retrieve old passwords to get in. So yay for zero security.

So now i will try to get back on that old horse called writing / expression / whatever, or as my lovely other-person called it, debriefing.

A short note on that, i felt it was a wonderful practice. Al has a new job full of all the excitement and wonder that goes along with it, and in this job, they have to deal with all sorts of family trauma on an hourly basis. So at the end of every day, each employee has a chosen other employee that they vent to. They call it debriefing the day. It basically allows the person to deal with all the other peoples problems all day, and then let go of them before leaving. It also gives them a sort of confidant in their workplace, someone safe to talk to that won't take offence at anything said, and won't take whats said to anyone that would. They can then go into their sessions the next day calm and collected, and try to make some form of progress with someone else and their child. I think every workplace should follow this practice. Every one that i have worked for could definitely use the practice, even the one i'm currently at. I made the remark to her that my boss debriefs publicly on an hourly basis, to which she retorted "that's not debriefing, that's throwing a tantrum, and is problem behaviour." If only the business world worked like child psychology.

So this will, in some small way, hopefully become my debriefing session, allowing me to once again express some of myself through randomly connected letters, phrases and paragraphs. We'll see, it may end up with that promise i made myself 5 years ago to start running everyday.

So, to start off, and to try force myself to maintain it, i am stealing an idea from someone who stole the idea off someone else. basically, i'm pulling a microsoft.

So here's the list of proposed blog entries for the next who knows how long:
