I have toyed with the idea of nixing the blog entirely. But I know I’m not going to feel like I do forever. I could probably fill page after page of posts about how much I hate my job, and how I hate that I hate my job. But it would serve no purpose. It would not improve things at work. In fact, it could potentially end my employment before I want to end it. I used to love it. It was such a great group to work with, because it was like a family. Now it’s this group against that group. Each day is the potential for some new drama. The constant drama has created a revolving door of people who just get fed up with all the crap. But enough of that.
Both the kids are sick. Jamie’s better, but Chad is worse than Jamie was. I don’t think she ran much, if any fever. Chad started feeling bad Monday night, and I spent the better part of the night trying to convince him he didn’t have the swine flu, and even if he did, the swine flu isn’t near as bad as the regular flu DESPITE the media’s insistence that it’s as bad as the pandemic of 1918. Anyway, the kids are done with school for the summer, though Chad missed the last day and a half of it. I assume since we didn’t get a phone call that the school is passing them to the next grade, though I don’t know how on earth they managed to pull passing grades in the core subjects. It’s not that they aren’t smart, or that they have a learning disability, either. They have a lazy. Aced the tests, but did hardly any homework. Unless they pull C’s or better in everything, they are grounded for the summer, and a miserable summer they will have. We are going to take everything from them except for their beds and clothes. They are going to have to earn everything beyond necessities back.
So I guess this all kind of explains why I’m not writing. It’s hard to be positive when you’re pissed off and disappointed. Yes, that’s why I am avoiding anything political. LOL
I’ll be on vacation in 3 weeks. I’m really looking forward to it. I told my mom that I wasn’t going to do anything. Granted, that’s not true. I will, but I’m not going to plan on doing anything other than family get-togethers on the 4th, and a bowling “date” (for lack of a better word at the moment) with my best friend. No blogging, no Facebook, no Twitter. Not that I have tweeted anything in well over a week. Just family and rest.
I so understand you. Slipping into nothing-land is tempting. be sure to “do nothing” for at least one whole day. You’ll be better for it!
If we do a straight-through drive to my mom’s, there will be a totally “do-nothing” day because I will be too tired to do anything. But, I am going to treat it as a vacation rather than working the whole time I’m there. Unless my cousins have some painting that needs doing at my mom’s “new” house. Still, physical work isn’t so bad. It’s this mental stuff that’s wearing me down.
Don’t go…
Sorry you went to the mod queue. :hugs: I seem to come up with more excuses not to quit as excuses to quit. :cheesy:
Bitching about my job is all I got as everything seems to revolve around it and it’s all I ever seem to be doing now. No life at all.
But you got the right idea. I agree with Corey, but would make that 2 days though.
I feel you pain. :headbang:
I’m shooting for 3 days. 😉
Pls don’t go…
Doing nothing is not that easy and might move you into depression. If you could do nothing, you would still be thinking. P.T. do some jogging and push-ups. Self induced sweat can wash away more than dirt.You are a talented singer and musician use it.
Thanks Earl. :hugs:
P.T.? Remember, I was Air Force during the bike test years, so P.T. = “Personal Time” :rofl2: I do need to get some exercise into my routine. I go to the driving range a couple of times a week with some co-workers, but that’s about the extent of my exercise, unless I play Wii bowling with the kids. :cheesy:
Earl is being kind. LOL He’e referring to these:
Before I lose my nerve
I’m not a rock star
I should relax
I miss when you posted like this all the time. Hope you can find more nerve when you get back to strap the flying V back on. Or the Strat. :hope:
I still have the nerve, but my mic is messed up. At least I think it’s the mic. I might even manage to break out the acoustic. :star:
I am waiting with anticipation. When I saw your title “Here I sit” my first thought was ‘Broken hearted tried to…’ :cheesy:
@Earl, I had to look that bit of lyric up. :poop: :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:
Please don’t delete this blog. It’s so full of history. Take a break as long as you need… like… 3 years like me, lol. But don’t delete it! I really regret taking mine down.
Oh, I wouldn’t completely delete it. In fact, I’ve (for the moment) gotten over last week’s funk (PMS). Actually, though, this one is really a completely new blog, and the older (as opposed to oldest still on Blogger) DragonLady’s World is at http://dragonladysworld.com/wordpress-archive. I sort of had a “life-changing event” and started over with the blog. I didn’t want the new on the old, and I didn’t want the old to be the first thing people saw anymore, but I didn’t want to get rid of it either because I need to go back and look at it from time to time and remind myself where I was. :cheesy:
Well, I’m very happy about your upcoming vacation. It certainly sounds much-needed. I’ll be hoping you have an awesome time regardless of what you decide to do or not do. 🙂
2 weeks. I am so ready too. :sweat:
