Will Continue To Do So

I've been getting in a bit of Comp time... not sure I need it.. as I already have more time than I'll be able to take.  ...but I'm sure I can find a time to take some time off... I'm already looking forward to some time away.   My supervisor keeps telling me that she's making inquiries to put me an a temporary duty station at another center.   Not sure where that's going to be.. but I'm hoping it gives me the experience I need to move forward with my career. I'm hoping that things work out for me at Harper's Ferry... if I can pull that off, I should start at over 70k a year... I can actually move out and afford to support my daughters with that salary... especially since it's far enough away from the city to live more cheaply than in the big city itself.  Plus.. I'll be 30 minutes from where I want to be... which is close enough. It's all seeming to fall into place.. just like things are supposed to be.

Dad is still driving me nuts... but it's okay... I can already tell he's not going to make it a whole lot longer... his health has been fading quickly.  Part of me wants to give him a taste of his own medicine.. and start keeping tabs on everywhere he goes... but I won't stoop to that level. I hate it when I think of doing things out of character... I just need to hold on to who I am.. and let other people deal with that.  I'm certain I don't want to change... I like me.  Things are still going well with my daughters.... I love them very much.. and they know that.. but everything is going well for them too... I mean.. everyone has their problems.  My oldest has a benign tumor behind her kneecap, but it can't be fixed without surgery...and the doctor is recommending to put that off as long as possible. I will follow the doc's advice.. but ultimately... my daughter will have sayso in what she wants... and I'll support that completely. I love to support the people I care about... and will continue to do so.

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...
