These are merely the rantings and ravings of one man, a man who is normally introverted by nature, but yet, still bold enough to say and write things anonymously in this kind of online forum. I don't pull any punches and I make it a point to be real and upfront in every entry that I painstakingly write. While I'm not necessarily out to offend, belittle, or disrespect anyone or anything, I know that with the way that I write and communicate, there's always the potential for someone to get their feelings hurt. I may not spare your feelings, but in the end, you'll always know where I stand.

The Visionary has spoken. Thank you for stopping by. Get comfortable and please, by all means, enjoy the ride.

Christmas Rambling

December 25, 2024
So another Christmas has come and gone. I don’t know how many Merry Christmas text messages I sent today, but suffice to say that it was quite a few.  Maybe I underestimated the size of my personal circle? As I had said in a previous entry, after the holidays come to an end, normalcy can…

  • Her Message From Home
    December 25, 2024
    I woke up this morning, a bit later than usual, being that I didn’t go to work today.  I know that I worked yesterday and the last thing I had intended to do today was find myself back in that office.  I knew that I could at least go one day without working.  I took…

  • The Words They Say
    December 25, 2024
    On 11/27/24, I wrote the following entry. https://www.opendiary.com/m/peripheral_visionary/the-same-except-different-6300705/ Feel free to read it yourself, if you like.  Doing so might make reading this current entry easier. In that late November post, I expressed some curiosity as to whether tw...

    December 25, 2024
    Emotions can be an interesting thing to navigate, process, and overcome (should the situation call for it). You can’t fault people for feeling the way they feel. They are experiencing something inside, be it good, bad, or even otherwise. I like to think that emotions are much like opinions, in th...

  • 90 More Minutes
    December 24, 2024
    Even when I have no intention of working, I manage to find myself working. I suppose I walked into a situation in the office today, which had it not been for Kim, I wouldn’t have gotten myself involved in the first place. I had only intended to go into the office briefly to meet with…

  • Not A Communications Major But…
    December 24, 2024
    I often find myself in the midst of situations that make no sense. It seems that the moment that I introduce some sense into those situations, or try to, that’s when I run into problems. I don’t read much, but I read somewhere that women are supposed to be master communicators, or at least, the&h...

  • Emotionally Stunted
    December 23, 2024
    I had also considered titling this entry, "Kiss From A Slug", but the title above came to me first.  I like when people tell me I’m wrong for having certain feelings or having any feelings at all. I like when people tell me that my perception is wrong. I like when people try to tell…

  • A Change For The Better
    December 22, 2024
    The only constant is change. These aren’t my words originally, but they do speak of the reality of the work environment in which I currently find myself. People come. People go. It’s always been a thing and it will continue to be a thing. For the most part, I seem to do well enough when…

  • As Merry As Possible?
    December 22, 2024
    I got roped into participating in this year’s Secret Santa festivities at work. I didn’t want to participate, again, in adhering to my anti-holiday stance, but I guess it wasn’t optional. At least, it wasn’t optional for me. Cristina made me participate and I’m seldom ever in a position to tell h...

  • Celebrating Her Again
    December 19, 2024
    Today is Carmen’s birthday. I wanted to stop by her office this morning and wish her a Happy Birthday in-person, but not surprisingly, she decided not to come to work today. I do not blame her one bit. I never work on my birthday either and haven’t for years. We’re planning to have lunch together...
