All Will Be Well With The World.

We are going to have a Government Accounting Office audit next month... my supervisor came to me and asked me if I'd be interested in having a 160 day detail... as a vocational manager on another center... after thinking briefly about this.. I jumped at the chance... I believe they're trying to get me off the center before the auditors come because they know I will spill my guts about everything I know... I don't play the "let's-keep-quiet-and-sweep-everything-under-the-rug game"  ...It's really a win-win situation though... this will give me the experience I need to go to the next level... at the same time, they will pay my regular salary... actually more since I may be detailed into a GS11 position..  my hotel, rent me a car.. and give me up to 71 dollars a day for meals and incidentals... plus they'll pay for me to come home every other weekend. I told my spouse and daughters about it... and they support me 100 percent... as long as I can Skype with my daughters and they know I'm coming back.. they are all for it... plus it gives them a chance to see how it will be when I move out... sort of a test run..  so.. things are finally moving forward.

I've been driving the students to and from Work-based learning.. at least over the weekend... I've built up some extra time I can take off to spend with my love.. although I have plenty of that at the moment anyway... as I don't take off much. I worked until 9:30 Friday night...  ...and then came back in Sat. morning at 8:00 - 12:15.... then Sat. night  5:15 - 9:30.... so it's been an active weekend... My dad visited me between my work shifts... and then met me at the pickup place since he lives close to it anyway.. He's trying to find the negative aspects of my detail offer.... but since he can't come up with much... he has decided that I'm going to get sick and so feeble I can't take care of myself... and I'll wind up dying because he... nor anyone else... is around to take care of me. He asked me what I was going to do if I wound up getting sick and couldn't go... I told him... I'd do what 99.99999 percent of the rest of the world did without him around... just wing it. I am certain he's put the notion in my daughters' heads that I am incapable of taking care of myself... because that was the first question they asked my spouse... how was I going to make it.... well.. I just will.. and all will be well with the world..

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...
