Viking Saints game a heartbreaker
Watching the Viking Saints game was pure torture for us Brett Favre fans.
I live in the Green Bay area where most people still really love Brett Favre and root for him no matter who he plays for.
I really don’t care about the Vikings and only followed them because Favre seemed happy there.
Obviously the best outcome of the Viking Saints game would have been for Favre to shine and the Vikings to win but if I had to choose I would rather that Favre had a good game and the Vikings lost than for the Vikings to win despite a poor performance by Favre.
Of course the outcome was the worst thing possible: the Vikings lost because of a mistake by Favre. He made a very stupid pass which was intercepted and prevented the Vikings from kicking a very doable field goal to win the game. It was in some ways a gruesome re-enactment of the end of Favre’s last game with the Packers.
You know what the brightest moment of the game was for me? It sounds crazy but I felt really good when Favre was injured and it looked like he might not come back to the game.
He would have gone out a hero. That is all I wanted out of this game.
But he will always be a hero to me.
Work is play?
I was reading some poetry today before the Vikings game started and I ran across “Two Tramps in Mud Time” by Robert Frost. The final stanza spoke to me as I struggle to decide which path to follow in my career.
But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the future’s sakes.
Work has certainly not been play for me lately. I am not happy with multi-level marketing. (see previous post) I am bored with all the nit-picky detail work involved with affiliate marketing. The final deciding factor is that I have come to the realization that I no longer enjoy working from home.
I started working from home when my kids were little so I could stay home and take care of them. Then when my kids got older my parents got sick and I brought them to live with me. So for a long time working from home was a real blessing in my life, allowing me to be there for the people I love most. But now my kids are grown and my parents have passed away. It has gradually dawned on me that I am really sick of working alone at home by myself!
So now I am taking some classes to prepare me for a second career. I want to have coworkers again and I want to be able to “punch out” and just walk away from work. Until you have had your own home business you cannot begin to imagine how much it takes over your life!
I am not going to give up my online multi-level marketing and affiliate marketing businesses. It would be crazy for me to drop them and walk away. But I am looking forward starting something new in the real world!
Wish me luck…
