Congratulations to Obama! '08

Mr. President!

A very good day for America. A day that the average American "Joe" stood up and voiced their opinion for change. Those of us sick of the same, inspired by the message of Obama/Biden and what they can do for our country. TO see the day when our nation is restored to the greatness it once was.

I am moved to tears as many of my countrymen are. We believe in the Obama, as a man, as a leader. I really think this win is positive for the upcoming generations as well as to help us out of our current crisis.

To the Girls

To all the "girls" in my life:

Strong, assured and ready for the next thing.

Carolann, Dorothy, Joy, Katherine, Alicia, Donna...

She has a positive attitude
She can overcome obstacles
She is strong minded
She is soft hearted
She has integrity
She has balance in her life
She sets goals
She is driven by a cause
She is a teacher
She knows her strenths

Happy Birthday

Ahh, birthdays!

Timing is Everything

So, they (whoever they are) say that everything comes in time. Perhaps.

I am so impatient - I want it all and I want it NOW! These past few months have been a trying experience, to say the least. Ahh, the law of mine reads that when one thing goes really wrong, the rest of your life will follow. Today, I sat back and reflected on these last months and the struggles that I have had. I learned a few things about me and a few things about the rest of you.

One thing is that if I am patient, things will work out. The right things at the right time will come together. Not all things can be neatly packed away in a tidy little package. And you are lucky if you actually get to see the outcome and have the vision to realize that this is what you were hoping for. Hoping for? Maybe not hope, but something just out of your grasp, right on the tip of your tongue.

So, I encourage you to sit back for a spell and ponder this: what areas do I seek change? What good will the change bring? How can I help it along? What will I do differently to embrace the situation if it does not change? Dammit what is my next move if all shall fail?

And when change happens, look at it for what it is. Timing is everything.

Note: First time I played Scrabble with mom since her surgery in July. Oh, happy day, well, almost, she won.

Young Undetermined Slackers

So, venting about work online is probably not the 'in thing' to do. I mean after all, don't our bosses have access to the same information that we do? Or, better yet, our future employers?

There are many things that bother me about other people. The list is long, but I will restrain myself and save that for another blog. One thing is the work ethic of MOST young people today, and not that I am old. I am talking about those fresh scrubbed, right out of college, I am to 'hip' to handle, young people. These are the slackers of the world. The straight C students who believe that we are so fortunate to have them working with us, they do not even need to be trained, OOOHH NO! They have all the answers already.

Little brats like this make it much harder for the rest of us. The bosses are usually snowballed into believing that they actually know something, which I can save you the trouble right now - they don't know anything!

Where is their determination? They think that rules are made for other people and that they do not have to follow them. And talk about their dress - or lack thereof!

There was a muffin on the counter. An ordinary muffin, banana actually.

This and That and Everything

So, when my parents gave me a Bluetooth for Christmas, I said, "I don't think I am cool enought to have a Bluetooth!" Now, i know the same is for a blog! Who is going to read this? And, paaalllllease, why? But, here I am, and here you are. I have venting to do, so put on happy face and shut up and listen.
