What Really Matters (And What Doesn't)

Alright, we all know what's coming…. What did one eye say to the other? …Between us, something smells.

I know that everyone is only here for my bad dad jokes. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, it's been a busy week. One thing about a corporate job, when someone is on vacation all their work gets piled on someone else. These past couple weeks that has been me, of course it doesn't come with extra pay, only pats on the back. Too bad you can't spend those at Target.

What I've also realized with an increased workload is that the company I work for is far behind in this new age of AI. There are plenty of ways that we could implement AI into the organization to make us significantly more productive. Crazy to think that I work for a big tech company, and we aren't even using AI very well. I try to use it as much as I can to make things easier on myself, but I do feel like the AI model that we use is somewhat limited based on the constraints we've implemented, I'm sure.

Anyways, enough about work. As soon as I can find my way out, I'm out. I'm tired of the ass-kissing and politicking that occurs, it doesn't matter how good you are at your job it's all a big high school popularity contest all over again.

It's so fun watching my kids grow up and develop their personalities, one of my favorite things is always how excited they are to see me. One of my favorite things in life is the moment when either of my kids make eye contact with me and they come running with a big smile on their face yelling "DADDDDDDD" and jumping into my arms. That is a feeling in life that I'll never top. Having kids is the hardest thing I've ever done and moments like that make it so worth it. I wouldn't change it for the world.

I always find it interesting that when I go on a guys golf trip, or hang out with neighborhood dads how much complaining goes on about their wives. My wife is my best friend, and that is also something I wouldn't change for the world. She is the one person in life that I know I can always count on, I can always share anything with and not feel judged and I know the same goes for her. It's tough because sometimes I just can't relate with some of my friends on that level, I don't understand how you could be with someone if you have that much to complain about. To me that seems like life would be miserable. I love my wife and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I'm excited for this summer, I have a couple of trips lined up both guys trips and some family trips too. I'm a bit anxious about one of the guys trips, but we will have to talk about that another time. Time for me to go watch a recap on the NFL draft and dial in some NBA playoffs.

Thanks for sticking around to the end, or maybe you just skipped right to it.
