my job really depresses me sometimes. its not that i think insurance is necessarily a bad thing, what gets me is reading about all the bad stuff that happens to people all the time.
most people who find themselves at the point in their life where they need to submit a claim is usually a very tough time in their life- a roof leaking or a bad car accident or that occasional horrific dog bite. outside of work when i’m talking to friends about their lives and they bring up something traumatic like this, or when i’m going through it myself, it completely sucks. nobody likes it. so all this negative energy is in these claims that i’m looking at all day long day after day. sure i don’t actually handle claims, but i have to see how peoples lives are changed dramatically by not being able to return to work because of injury or a house being destroyed by the weather.
part of the reason i surf the net is because i need some positive light.

Today I sorted iTunes by artist name, and then went through artists who’s name start with A-E and deleted what I didn’t want. My hope is to do this every day with about five letters of the alphabet. On the sixth day I’ll do all the bands that start numerically.
After deleting all the stuff I don’t want, I’ll start to tackle the information clean up for the remaining stuff. I started with about a month’s worth of music, and I think by the end I should cut that down by 1/3.

i’ve never delved into meditation before now. i wasn’t even sure what it entailed really. i’ve been reading up a few articles/books/etc and tried meditation for the first time a few days ago. the biggest challenge for me will be to schedule time every day to do this.
