I have just been appointed the works coordinator at my place of work. We are probably the biggest employer in the town. The average age of the workers is 45 years old so we are at the time in life where people become ill. The past fortnight has probably been one of the saddest times in the workforce. They all say I am too hard a boss and every one is becoming stressed but I do believe the expectation that is placed on people in the workforce has become very great. With the added pressure of keeping a family and the responsibilities and commitment that goes with that has increased.

We have one guy that has been going through a tough time with his family. His wife has cancer in the eye, his daughter was recently sexually abused so he was going through a really stress full time. Last week it finally caught up with him, he called into the local club and started to feel ill he then had a massive heart attack. He was rushed out by air ambulance and luckily survived but has major damage to his heart and may never work again he is 51 years old.

Another supervisor has a detached retina and may lose the site of one eye. There has also been a number of less serious illnesses that have not been life threatening.

But the saddest one is a guy who has just turned 50 and has had a nervous breakdown. He has had a number of personal issues that have built up over the years and he finally tried to end it by trying to commit suicide. It seems the attempt was just someone that was desperately crying out for help. To see this man crawled up on the lounge in a fetal position sobbing his eyes out is so sad. His son is ill his marriage is on the rocks because of some unmarried scum telling her all this wonderful stuff over the internet. I guess I am blaming this person without really knowing what their marriage was like. But it really made my blood boil when I heard this how someone a million miles away could possibly destroy a marriage that may have had some hope of repairing it self. He new she is married but that doesn’t concern him he may never even see her. I guess I am old fashioned and I don’t believe in hitting on married women. I guess that’s the world we live in where morals don’t exist any more and men like this guy ( no words to describe them) can do this. I have only heard one side of the story so I could be really wrong in what I am saying here. She may have been looking for some sought of relationship, I really pray that he comes out of his depression his marriage becomes strong again because it really saddens me to see this.WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO LOVE.



Just another day at work.

Mr Blog

It is strange you know. The way things go around and around. I have enjoyed being Mr Blogs wife. Enjoyed it alot. Being a wife and mother is one of those things that one just has to do or be to understand at all. It is amazing having a dream to work toward; so many dreams but none of them for yourself. A very dangerous thing is that, dreaming and working towards those dreams, paying the price giving all it takes, all of your life - for others.

It's an easy thing to fall into. Especially for us mums. It happen to husbands and dads too, actually I know it does, I've seen it and it frightens me.

There is a time of contemplation that drifts in to you. One day you wake up and there it is; it drifted into your mind and filled every part of it with questions, restlessness, hurt or sadness (it's like a mourning type deepness) and such confusion. The pain is relentless and makes no logical sense. There is no reason for it. None at all yet, here it is and for so long it taunts.

The irritable anger that is always on the surface. Like a nerve that's exposed and just the brushing of the air sends volts to the mind as lightening. The rage that happens the hurt and sadness, for absolutely no reason.

Every thing seems so confusing, and confidence in anything and everything is shaken or robbed from you. So you just stay very still, you don't dare move cause you just don't know what's real anymore. So you hold your breath and watch the strange circus like world as it spins around and around.

But the worst of all is the lonliness. There is no reason for it but it is very much there. Surrounded by an ocean teaming with people and loving lives that are interconnected and yet... such a deep dreadful lonliness...

Sometimes your day is like the calm of the ocean you can lay in bed and talk about all sorts of topics without getting into an argument. We talk about our relationship and all the good parts but even the not so good parts can be discussed with out an argument. We go out to dinner, we watch a video together (she watches I sleep) every thing seems to be fine from my corner anyway.



Then there are the days that are like the raging ocean (more often these days) where any thing that is said or done is either taken the wrong way or it hurts deeply. I guess all marriages go through a time when you want to throw your hands in the air and give up. Do we give up do we walk away from something that has been a part of us for so long, do we walk away from our family and friends. Most will understand I guess some will be shocked some won't understand some will give advice some won't say anything. We do talk about that horrible word seperation. But than the good times come around again and you forget for a time or thats what I thought.



Past hurts are a horrible thing they raise there ugly head all the time and it is so hard to forget certain issues. Most times you are ready and have a reason but some hurt so deeply that nothing can soften the impact. We are still soldering on day by day step by step and maybe just maybe we will walk together in the middle of the road hand in hand and not pass each other going in opposite directions.



Lets just get lost in the arms of each other hidden in the mist.

We recently went back to the place where we first met and it felt like it was only yesterday. We walked around the park and every thing had changed there were more tree’s and the tree’s that were there had grown into huge tree’s. But the memories are still the same you can close your eyes and still see the beauty of the one that was to be your bride.

We talked tonight about a number of things and about the first time we met. Mrs Blog said it was love at first site and she thought about me all day that is so precious to me. To have someone love so much is the best feeling, Mrs Blog can I say that truly the feeling was mutual trying to work while I was thinking of you was so hard work mates would get so annoyed because my mind was never on the job. I would always wonder how you were going what you were doing if you were thinking of me.

Things change our lives change, our like’s and dislikes change, we see each other differently we get to know each better ( I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing at times) we enjoy different thing’s we go our separate ways. I guess this is all good if we can hold our love for each other together. Memories never change they remind us of our beginning’s our first love I just pray that in times of need we never ever forget the memories. ~~~~~~Mr Blog
