Wits End

So, I have decided that I am officially taking a break here at work for a few minutes and vent so that I don’t do it when I get home. I don’t want to be toxic around my kids anymore. I usually just work through the whole day without a break or lunch. But, the last two days, it’s been all I can do to not walk out of this office. I have dealt with the most difficult people in the last two days. One woman in particular has taken to sucking the life out of me. It has come to the point where I absolutely refuse to talk to her. I. Will. Not. Do. It. There is no way that I can rise above one more time with this person and be civil. Our office extended a courtesy to her in the first place by speaking to her about the file, and God in heaven I wish that I could go back in time and revoke that courtesy.

Why are some people so rotten?

Days like the ones that I have had make me want to just bail on society.

I desperately need a change of scenery.

Guess I should get back to the grindstone. And a grind it certainly is.

Ode to Allergies

The Joys of Spring

The trees colored with blooms of cherries

The vines grown heavy with succulent berries

The daytime sky lit by sun bright

The headiness of a warm spring night

The snotting, the sneezing, the eyes that itch

The cough, the tickle that makes me twitch

The change of season so bitter and sweet

Make haste dear spring, be gone toot sweet.

Serene One

Quotes

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.~Anne Franke


It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. ~Theodore Roosevelt

From a speech given in Paris at the Sorbonne in 1910

Perfection

So, I have been a bit obsessed with the sky lately...but can you blame me??

Lovely

The first one is of rain clouds hugging the hills as they worked their way into the valley last night. The last three were on my way home from work this evening.

Yikes!

Okay...seriously?!?

How does this http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23595533/happen?

At what point do you decide that....'Yeah...this is it...this is the place where I want to spend the next two years of my life'. I get wanting to stay in and not deal with the real world sometimes. But of all places? Not to mention what the hell is wrong with the boyfriend? I mean...after an hour or so...you have to know that she is having issues. C'mon!

Makes ya just wanna jump right in huh??

Signs of Spring

Blah

I haven’t been in the mood to blog lately. Or perhaps I just don’t have anything interesting to say. I haven’t seen any good movies/shows, read any good books or heard any good stories. The only thing that was slightly out of the ordinary was when the owner of the company I work for was telling me about an author that he likes and somehow managed to work the words penis and scrotum into the conversation. Those are two words that I never want to hear him say again. Never. Ever.

Due to the state of the economy, our company has made some…adjustments to avoid additional lay offs. I have been working in a different capacity within my company and am in contact with the owner more than usual. I seem to have become his new best friend here at work. He loves to regale me his stories. When I say regale, I mean to say bores me to death. He talks to me about stuff that I couldn’t care less about. I get cornered at my desk and can’t break free unless someone here interrupts us or something work related. Most of time I don’t want to deal with work related stuff, but during ‘story time’ I am all over it. I am completely disenchanted with work. That probably isn’t the right word…as it was never enchanting to begin with. But, it just seems to suck the life out of me these days. I feel wrong for complaining. It pays we okay, the people I work with/for are decent. But….it’s just not me.
