Whatever

Laundry. Cleaning. Writing. Bills.

As long as this summer seemed to be it also seemed short.

It's probably because I have been so busy and that didn't dawn on me until I saw my doctor and he asked me what I've been up to.

'Been working overtime because I'm trying to get a promotion, And on top of that my supervisor left, an old co-worker died and another co-workers son was murdered. Then I'm gearing up for the fall semester and I've been trying to maintain a social life because I realized that without one I get very depressed.'

My mind has been so mushy lately because I have so many things to do that when I get home from a busy day I ususally just put something on to watch and it ends up watching me.

I also realized that I work best when I have a schedule. I don't do well when I just 'wing' things. I need a time table to get things done. A way to stay productive and on time. Otherwose I'm just all over the place, doing a million things but getting nothing done.

This weekend, when everyone was gearing up for Hurricane Irene (which never hit us, by the way) I was doing adult stuff that I've been putting off.

Back to the grind that never seems to go away.

Get Ready You Muthas!!!

There is too much chaos in my world and I feel like there isn't much I can do about it at this point.

I share a house with 6 other people and one of them has the bright idea to help out 2 friends b inviting them to spend 2 wks here while they wait for their aprtments to become available.

Two weeks didn't sound that bad.  But that was before they took turns using the already cramped kitchen, my bananas and milk mysteriously disappeared (along with my computer speakers I left in the kitchen) and that another roomie used the heater that I placed in the basement in March that I found on the curb tonight because she said it didn't work when she plugged it in thinking it was a fan, I. Am. Done.

I need some normalcy back in my life because I am about to snap on everything moving.

Please pray for them because at this point they need it more than I do.

They Smile In Your Face

These past few weeks have really been a blur. I've been working so much and trying to get so much done that I haven't really had time for anything fun or social. And the opportunity for growth at work is turning up but the morale is fading quickly.

Apparenly my good work doesn't sit well with my co-workers. Instead of them asking for help or support on how they can get to a better situation they decide to end conversations when I walk into the room and be passive aggressive when I'm present.

When did advancement become such a dirty thing?

When I started the job I have been helpful with making sure everyone had the same information and passing on resources that I thought everyone could benefit from.

Since I've gotten the small promotion and been asked to take on other responsibilities it seems as if the rest of the staff has been doing less.

I'm no taking over anyone elses responsibilities or making them feel less than because they weren't asked to do more. I'm just taking it as it comes. And apparently it comes with some knives in the back.

Best believe that I am not leting this bother me.

They can bitch and moan all the way home while I laugh at those exras dollars on my check.
