Never enough time...

I have spent the last two weeks at the center without any students... a Summer Break.. at the beginning of the break, I had so many plans to accomplish.. but how many of them did I get done... MAYBE 1 or 2... For some reason, I spent most of my "break" helping other employees get their crap done. I am not authorized for overtime now, or I would spend evenings working on things.  I might have to "hang around" and hope I don't get caught.  The students will be back on Tues.  ...and I don't think I'll have anything I wanted to get done.. completed.  I guess I could make them all do it.  I'm such a bad instructor.

I think my dad finally got a bit of the message. I haven't been picking up my phone during my work hours, so he might have figured out that I'm not going to change my mind about not talking to him until after work.  Today at 2 minutes after my work time ended, he called.. and I answered... and he hasn't called since... wow!  Of course he might have some things on his mind.  My aunt just found out that the cancerous tumor removed from her leg has spread.  Although they DID tell her that she would need to come back after it was removed.  Her and her husband just sorta shrugged it off.  ...now she has cancer spots in her lungs.. and maybe elsewhere.  I feel badly for her, but she decided she knew more about it than the doctors.

My dad told me yesterday that a former tenant of mine died.  My first thought was.. I guess I'll never see the $1200 that she owes me... then I felt badly for thinking that.  I didn't really expect to get it anyway.  She had a little girl.. that would be about 11 or 12 years old now.  I REALLY feel badly for her. I suppose we never realize how much time we have. I have had times in my life where I thought my time had come.. and I was actually ready to go.  I'm sorta glad I'm still around though.....  I have a few things left to live for. 

This week has passed very quickly.  I don't know where it went to.  I still have to get a few things ready before my trip next week.  I actually have a couple of things packed already... I am glad that things are the  way they are, because they could always be worse.  I am happy for a friend of mine that has the day off tomorrow ...unexpectedly.. but she needed it. It will give her a chance to catch up on all the things she hasn't had time for. It seems that she like the rest of us has discovered the basic fact.... there is never enough time...

Not In My Lifetime.

It's 1:15 am.. I just got back from my niece's wedding.. and it was.. different .. not what I was used to.. but nice all the same..  I only have this to say about the reception... WTF!!! l guess I should give a bit of background information... my spouse wandered off doing her own thing.. as I prefer it that way... so when I happen to come into close proximity of her by accident.. she motions me over.. and has been talking to the head of the catering company... they have been talking for awhile.. and in a short period of time.. they have been getting to know each other a bit..   as I approach.. this woman.. who's name is the same as my spouse.. is saying.. "I just seem to know him.. he looks like John.. somebody"  My spouse then starts with a sales pitch of how great of a guy I am.. and what I do teaching computers.. and this woman starts striking up a conversation with me in front of my spouse.. she even talks about how handsome I am...   she mentions that she i...

Something I Have Learned Well.

It's odd how we interact with others on so many levels... one would assume by my wide range of references that I have a large assortment of friends.. In all actuality, the people in my circle of friends could be counted on my hands.. and close friends... well..  easily on one hand. I'm not what I would consider a social butterfly... but to be honest.. I sometimes like crowds.. I enjoy having groups of people around me.. I don't stick out like a sore thumb.. and sometimes getting lost in the rest of the world... isn't such a bad thing. How often do you go and "people watch" ....and then think about those people once you're gone... not very often, I'm guessing.. not unless one did something completely out of the ordinary.  I just like having the feeling that I'm normal.. an ordinary person... I just sat here in this chair for most of the weekend.. not really accomplishing anything.. nothing constructive by any means... I feel as though maybe I'm...

I'm Looking Forward To A New Year.

Been through ice the last few days... lots of time to take off between now and the end of the year... but I will get it in. I tend to not worry about much of anything lately. There's no need.. life is perfect... or at least headed in a perfect direction. I am still irritated at my boss and don't feel that I can truly talk to her without wanting to slap some sense into her... and I'm not a violent person... I don't like the feelings she provokes in me. I haven't felt those feelings before. I would never contemplate seriously hurting anyone on purpose... but with her.. I just want answers... show me WHY you would do such a thing. Not a whole lot I can do about it now.. I will just ride it out until I can go elsewhere... it won't be much longer anyway. I got new glasses yesterday. They are the first plastic frames I've had in 30+ years... black and simple. I actually am growing to like them in a hurry. I spent my time driving to and from the city on the phone...
