I just read in this article that Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Edward Norton, and Jason Alexander have committed themselves to stopping the violence in the Middle East. Did you know the Bible says that the AntiChrist will bring peace to the Middle East? I always have my suspicions of who the AntiChrist is, but I never considered it to be one of these 6 people. I don't think people realize that this conflict has been raging for thousands of years. It's going to take a little more than star power to put an end to the violence I think. Actually after reading further on their website, they aren't mentioned very much at all. I think they are just the zazz to bring in the crowds. It cracks me up how celebrities think they know more than regular people just because they have fame and wealth. Anyways, I suppose I shouldn't dog their effort for peace. I'm just saying, if you want to be the AntiChrist, go ahead. I don't think people understand that the conflict goes back before the 1940's with the reinstatement of the Israel nation. People believe that the terrorists hate us because of our capitalism not because we support Israel. People actually scoff at me when I tell them that's the reason. This is a battle over an inheritance. The Arab nations are illegitimate. The land belongs to Israel and God will restore it to them.
I informed my manager yesterday that I'll be transitioning to a new job (yay!). It should be no longer than a couple weeks. There is no promise that the new job will be exactly what I'm looking for, but I do believe I'll be busier and using my brain more. Anyways, she wasn't very surprised. She probably saw it coming ever since she called me into her office last month and told me she heard I was bored. Heh heh. I just told her I was trying to figure out if I really fit on this project or not. So it turns out I don't. Anyways, there are no hard feelings there. I wasn't so worried about her anyways. The upper management has yet to find out and when that happens, I have a feeling I'm going to get called in. I don't mind telling them how I feel because I didn't do anything wrong. I feel I can do that without speaking bad about anyone else. I just hope they don't try to throw stuff at me to get me to stay cuz it doesn't matter. There is nothing in this organization that I want to work on. The management here said they were going to give me a promotion, but they never did. That was 10 months ago. That's not the issue though. I don't have any hard feelings about that. I don't think I've been doing any work that is worthy of a raise or promotion. Anyways, hopefully they will let me go without any hard feelings. I wouldn't totally be surprised if they tried to offer that promotion to me now to get me to stay. They'll probably tell me that they have new work coming down the pipe that I would be perfect for. Nah. I don't want to do it. Army communications isn't my thing. So hopefully I won't be called in so that I can just refuse them over and over. That might burn my bridge, but the way I see it, I was going to quit anyways, so if something bad happens in the new organization, it's no loss really.
The fires are still raging becoming the hugest disaster in Southern California in a long time. I've been looking at pictures of it online. Where I live, I am totally isolated from the fires. I don't even see the smoke anymore. In fact, this morning was the first clear day I've seen since the fires started. It would appear that things are getting better, but that isn't true. It's supposed to rain on Friday and Saturday. Let's pray that it does. I don't think it has rained in October in quite a long time. I think it is an answer to prayer.
