Another Day

Tuesday night already. This can't be so. On the stove is some brown rice and thin spaghetti. Good ol standby's. Well I had to deal with a past co-worker this morning who I simply do not like. There has been a vacuum problem with a piece of equipment that we just have not been able to resolve. We do have a device called a helium leak detector used to find such small vacuum leaks. Actually, we have two of them. The one that I'm most familiar with has been broken for some time and I just can't seem to fix the damn thing. The other one I'm not as familiar with and I don't think it works that well. Anyway, I used it on this particular problem and had no luck resolving the issue. So we called this past employee in to have his hand at finding the leak (he runs his own company) and I'll tell you with in 20 minutes after getting setup with his own equipment, he found the damn leak. I'll give him huge credit for finding it and now we can move past that problem. On the flip side, it really angers me when I've done something with no success and someone else rolls around to do the same thing and is successful. If I ponder deeply, I think that I'm more angered with this person because of how much I dislike him and if I think deep down, my distaste for seeing him succeed is just a function of this dislike. I should just chill! Forgive and forget - right. Well that's tough seeing how I tried that once when he was still working where I'm at. I thought, "let me just put the past behind me and start over with this guy." And he threw it in my face. I should just CHILL. Learn from him. Learn him. Know him. Be him. Is there a psychiatrist in the house? Shrink PLEASE.
