Why?


Why can’t every day feel like a holiday?
Why can’t every day have a $2 happy hour?
Why can’t every day - be a day spent at the beach?
I’m back at work.  Am I happy about it?  No.
On my commute into work this morning, I had an overwhelming urge to turn my car around and simply drive back home and go back to bed. 
I was prepared to tempt fate.  I doubt I would be fired for one day of truancy, but secretly hoped that I would be. 
Of course, I would be devastated to be unemployed, but it might just be the kick in the pants I need to motivate me to do something else with my life.   Don’t get me wrong, I don’t WANT it to happen but I’m just saying…if it did…it might not be such a bad thing.

to do that, one would have a backup plan. That's what happens when we grow up. $$ impulsiveness is for the young ones.

I'm with ya, girlie. When I got back from vacation today and started opening emails, I just wanted to go into a fitful rage and get dragged out of here by security. Instead, I just sighed and opened up Google Reader.

Bright side = it's a four day week!

I decided many years ago that there should be a law making it illegal to go to work the day after a vacation... ;o)

I'm behind on your posts, sorry! My internet has been crap for the last few days so tonight I am catching up on everything! I totally know how you feel - at least with my old job. I thought about calling in to work everyday! Glad you are back but wish you could be on vacation forever (I wish I could be too)!

January Blows...

The Holidays are behind us for another year, the parties are over and the decorations have been put away. Now what? Apart from some indoor exercise, maybe the odd movie, some reading, an afternoon nap on the weekend and perhaps some weight loss, there is nothing to look forward to in the short term. The Holidays are a bit of a let-down in that respect. So much hype and then when the excitement suddenly stops, I’m left feeling lost – like I’ve forgotten to do something. I usually like to complain about the winter weather in January, but I can’t even do that because it hasn’t been that bad… yet. It’s been cold, but we have certainly been lacking in the snow department. I know winter will arrive and then I’ll have LOTS to keep my “bitter meter” ticking, but until then, what’s a girl to do?

Q&A With Myself...

Today is an anniversary of sorts… Today marks my 2 nd anniversary at my current place of employment.   Over the last 2 years, I’ve had some  a lot of spare time to reflect upon the career path that I’ve chosen and what wrong turns have lead me to the cube where I sit today. I’m not happy with some of the choices I’ve made, but I’m not going to dwell on those – life’s too short .   Each wrong turn has led me to something different, some new experience.   I’ve met some great people, others that aren’t so great and those who should be forgotten, but sadly are etched upon my soul.  I’ve learned some things along the way and have laughed at myself and others while doing whatever it is that I do.   I question whether I should have become a sell out and an ass kisser, but realize that I just don’t have what it takes.  I like being able to hold my head high and know that I’ve gotten to where I am in life by being honest – with myself and others.
