Marines Don’t Quit

Except for shitty jobs. This Marine will quit in a heartbeat from a shitty job.

Why all the sudden ooh-rah-ness Ken?

Just making the point that no matter what, if I say I’ll be there, I’ll be there.

I’m currently enjoying my 2nd major go around with COVID, since it became the in thing to do.

I’m fine. Fairly sick but most of the bouts of flu I ever had were far worse.

Although, the first time I had it, it almost got me. That was some grim shit.

Anyhow, the point is, I’m grievously wounded, yet here I am posting and podding.

Because I said I would. At this time. Every week. For you guys.

Accountability and dependability.

It makes me feel good to do the work even when I barely can.

It feels even better that I can be someone whom others depend upon, regardless of how hurt I may be at the time.

Should you ever build a thing that has followers, and really, that would be anything, you want them to miss you should you not appear at the regularly agreed upon time.

You want to be missed.

Not because you are such a goddamn wonderful person but because you know you’re doing your job well when you are missed.

Sit with that.

It’s powerful, should you absorb the scope of its potential in your career life.

Or even regular life, really.

And now I must move on. The VID is wearing me down fast. Gettin’ fuzzy around the peripheral.

You guys are the best!
