Random Thoughts - Welcome Back to Chaos...

 
Holy hell, it’s been forever since I’ve had any random thoughts.  Okay, okay – all my thoughts are technically random, it’s just been forever since I’ve wrote them down.

I’ve failed at Christmas shopping this year.  Everyone has something under the tree, but in my opinion the purchases aren’t as good as they’ve been in the past.  I certainly won’t win any “You’ve Wowed Me Awards” and honestly, I don’t really care.  To those on my Christmas list - take that!

I’m now into my 4th week of work at the “new place” and I’m still not sure what to think.   Things are far more disorganized than I could have possibly imagined and while it’s my job to get things in order, I’m finding that it’s overwhelming me (which is unusual).  I like organization and process, but I can’t seem to find any of that here and I’m starting from scratch on a lot of things.  In my heart, I know I’ve made the right decision, but it’s going to take me some time to know for sure.   I just need to find my mojo…

While, we’re on the topic of work, I miss a few of my old co-workers and my old boss.  In particular, I miss their senses of humor.  No humor here – at all.  That’s going to have to change or I won’t survive.  Yep, I need to find that mojo…fast.

I went to see the latest installment of the Harry Potter franchise with J for his birthday.  It kept me mostly entertained.  I’ve never read the books, so there were a few parts that I was lost on and J had to catch me up on after.   Kind of like life…

Part of what I like most about going to the movies are the upcoming movie trailers.   Green Hornet looks to be promising for my entertainment dollar.  Guaranteed it won’t win an Oscar, but it will make me laugh and that’s worth something.

I baked shortbread cookies yesterday.  I don’t enjoy baking and only do so once a year when I have to make those damn cookies for The Boy and J.  It’s a Christmas tradition – just like egg nog, anger and resentment.

Happy Tuesday!

Work will fall into place, it just sometimes needs time.

And people will love your gifts, not because you bought them but because they are from you.

Relax on both counts, you're being too hard on yourself.

I Was Feeling Pretty Good Until...

I had my annual “physical” yesterday.   I’ve been attending the same clinic for well over 20 years and am overall happy with the service I receive.  The clinic is part of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital, so with that I typically have relatively quick access to a network of specialists should the need arise.  With that being said, I’m usually treated by residents and have rarely had the same resident in all my 20 years. I felt pretty good going into the appointment and then not so much by the time I left.   Why do you ask? Well, first of all I was treated by Miss Doogie Howser.   I swear she wasn’t even legal drinking age.  That in itself made me feel old, because when I first started going to that clinic – I WAS her age. As she was running down the standard list of questions (i.e. do you smoke, how much do you drink, is there any history of heart problems in your family), she asked me “How is your sex life?  Any concerns?

Snot Bubbles and Wedgies...

Scuba diving can be the most relaxing, peaceful experience of your life – no cell phones, no boss and no noise, except for your own bubbles; however it can be a sport that is not for the faint of heart – rough waters, sharks and crushing depths. If you are self-conscious, shy or weak of stomach, scuba diving may not be for you. Let me explain… Warning: The following may be overly descriptive. Read on at your own risk… The scuba wetsuit. There is nothing glamorous about squeezing a size 8, 10, 12 body into a size 8 neoprene wetsuit, while sweating under the Caribbean sun. It’s sort of like trying to put a sock on while your foot is still wet. Scuba diving professionals may tell you, that neoprene doesn’t shrink, but those people are liars. What they are really trying to do is make you feel good about yourself – selfish bastards. I am living proof that my wetsuit has shrunk on numerous occasions – usually over the winter months. Coincidence? I think not. The wedgie. This un
