Humor me, dear reader as we take a small detour from the usual format of technology, operations, social media, and such. Tonight, I want to talk about death.
What??
A good friend of mine was working out at the gym last week when God rebooted him. As Charlie tells it, one minute he was on the rowing machine and two days later, he woke up in the hospital. In between, his heart stopped, another gym patron did CPR on him, the ambulance squad treated and got him to hospital alive, and from there, the doctors took over. A week later, he went home with a implanted defibrillator and a new appreciation for life.
I don’t know about you, but most of my waking hours are devoted to computers and software and sales and….blah, blah, blah. All of this is important in its place, but in the face of the ultimate reboot, every bit of it pales. What do I suggest? Should you hop on Twitter and update or maybe touch up your LinkedIn profile, just in case it’s needed for an eulogy? No.
Put down the memory sticks. Log off. Shut the SQL book.
Go hug your spouse. Call your mother and tell her you love her. Walk the dog. Forgive an enemy. Feed the cat some tuna. Go watch the leaves fall and be thankful your motherboard is still powered up and say a prayer for those who are blue screening right now.
Peace,
Paul
