Without a doubt, we all go to work on Monday and someone is going to ask us, "How was your weekend?"
The Monday morning ritual of talking about the weather, talking about sports and talking about what we grilled over the weekend.
Most of the time those conversations hide problems and issues going on in life.
I would have loved to go in to work today and catch the guys up on the latest shit show my ex-wife has created for everyone around her, but again....
...everyone around us has something going on and most of the time we don't know what they are going through.
My work wife's wife has been in the hospital all weekend. Another guy on my trading desk is going through a nasty breakup. A kid on the other side of the floor lost his father Saturday morning and the old guy in our group has had health issues recently.
We all have something in our life that brings grief and stress. I wish I knew this when I was a younger man. Maybe I wouldn't have been such a jagoff.
Easier said than done....
BUTT, I need to do better at leaving a wake of JumboLove for those who come across my journey.
From the assclown that doesn't use his directional, to the soccer mom that cuts in line at the grocery store to the mealy mouth spouting off about the economy and politics.
As hard as it is, I even need to treat my personal Laurie Dann with a free ride on the high road. I only have 2,299 days until Hazel turns eighteen. I have that number counting down on Google calendar.
Today is coffee cake day. Nothing makes people feel better than a slice of coffee cake. From the simple Entenmann's raspberry at White Hen to the almond all butter coffee cake at Oak Park Bakery.
Bring a coffee cake to work this week and cheer up someone's day....
