My average day is ABOVE AVERAGE, because I get to do this with these people. Thats what makes it great. I write lists everyday that I never get to, because my day is filled with "just one more thing"
The open excitement to grow and change. I feel like if you are not living you are dying, and I am not ready to die just yet. So I want to keep gently pushing, never sitting still, never being satisfied. I am no great prophet, I just know that if you are sitting still you are actually moving backward. Banyan gets that. Everyone here wants "new," and "different," and "better."
Honorable. In a questionable world and a heavily scrutinized industry, we constantly try to follow one simple rule--Do the right thing, and do the right thing right, and the right things will happen. And the people I work with work 10 times harder, and longer, and more fiercely than I ever could. They never stop.
I dont even try. First, no one but us and our significant others knows what we do, how much we eat breathe and sleep this stuff. Second, everything describing it trivializes it. For those of us who love it, nothing else describes it. People think we work with people with drug problems. We work against poisonous drugs and poisonous attitudes and poisonous thinking. And the poison kills people.
I have a wife, four kids, a house, and a dog so what I like to do has very little to do with what I actually do. But in all seriousness, I am an introverted guy who likes to fish, read, run, eat and fix stuff. What I do not like to do is what I am being asked to do, which is talk about myself.
Bands that jump out are Black Flag, Proletariat, Jerks, Metallica, X, Warren Zevon, Rush, Husker du, Violent Femmes, Elton John and AC/DC.
I started as a behavioral health tech in 1987. Never looked back. Along the way I met my own problems, in my own friends, my family and myself. Just right place, right time, or something like that.
Coffee creamer is a sign of weakness. If they invented a coffee creamer that was black coffee flavored, I might try it.
