It's The Government Way.

I still say happiness is a choice.. no matter what things in our life are weighing us down... or fighting against us.. it's still possible to be happy.  Look at me... I'm the most happy I've ever been in my entire life... despite the stupidity I have to put up with on a daily basis... yeah... I reserve the right to call stupid... stupid... I'm not really fond of that word... but it fits so well in my situation. The management where I work... say that there's nothing wrong with waking students up at 5 am... to catch a ride with other Work-based learing students going to another city.... arriving at work 90 minutes early... after a 2 hour ride... then working all day... another 2 hour ride home... to get back on the center at 10 pm or after.... in bed about 11... to be woken up again the next morning by 5 am again... sure it can be done... but to expect it regularly from a trainee? ...I think someone is fucked in the head if you ask me..
I got the final numbers for the year... and my trade is the only trade on center with an "A" ...my boss says today "It's not good enough for one trade to be at an A... we all need to work together to get the center to an A... well.. what else does she want me to do... I feel like I'm doing my part... but she feels that I need to change things up to meet other standards.... I know what the problem is... accountability... no one has it... she even said today.... "I don't have time to follow up on the things you guys do.  I trust that you know how to handle your business"   ....well.. I thought part of management was making sure the people under you get the things done they're supposed to do... or am I missing the point here... I honestly don't know if I would make a good manager or not... sure... I believe in letting people figure out the best way to get a job done... but I still believe that people who have proven time and again to be incompetent... need to be addressed... of course that's just the logical thing to do.... nothing at all like the way we do things on center... We have to pick out the most asinine way to get something done... and then try that over an over again... not learning from our mistakes... It's the government way.

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...
