I'm Not A Team Player.

So ... it has been a month or so since I've posted. I've just come off a long 5 day weekend. I didn't do much of anything, but I'm glad to have the time off work. I love my job, but I work with some of the most incompetent people on the planet. The center has been working over a month now to get all the students to dress appropriately and arrive on time... and they still haven't gotten it right. My class is fine... It's some of the other classes that can't get it straight. Oh.   ...and my supervisor has tried to get several people to talk to me about being a "team player"... Everyone has refused... either because I must scare every person... or I actually AM a team player, but my boss sees me as not because I question her from time to time.  She's used to barking orders and having them followed without question... I can't help it if I don't like supporting things I can see are illogical. Part of the reason the center is in such bad shape .. is it has been the blind leading the blind for several years now. I suppose the management aims for that to continue.

For many years I have maintained that I won't live in a house with an indoor pet.  I have nothing against pets... nor people who choose to have them indoors... I won't... for two reasons... the hair... and the smell. No matter how clean an animal is.. these are still two issues to constantly deal with... my spouse has always known my position, but has kept the pets outdoors... except in special circumstances... she brought home two pups two weeks ago... on top of the 17 cats and kittens we already have... now, I think a line has to be drawn at some point.  She said that she had meant to get rid of the cats before bringing home the dogs, but it didn't work out as she planned, however, she would keep the pups outside.....and would work on giving the cats away.. so I came home early Wednesday and smelled something as I walked through the door. I caught my spouse and the kids playing with the pups in the back room... not only that, but one of the pups had crapped in the middle of the floor.  My spouse saw me and a look of horror crossed her face.. Her response:  "I didn't realize you'd be home so soon."  ...like that matters?   You're going to bring the pups in... and It's okay? ...just as long as I don't know about it.  I had to leave, but it is at that point that I realized...I would never really trust her again....this ...on top of everything else... just broke me. I need to find a way away from here ASAP.. maybe I can get my boss to trade me to another team... since she seems to think I'm not a team player.

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...

Stay Out Of Things Where I Don't Belong.

I am starting to get used to the hours... I think... who knows.. one day I feel like I was drug out of my bed kicking and screaming... other days I feel like I've been poured full of coffee and energy drinks... I've cut down on my morning coffee by the way... Oh... I didn't blog about that... after first moving here, I started drinking flavored coffee in the mornings... but I've decided I don't want to get dependent on that.... I still have the occasional coffee... but as I've said before... too much of anything is a bad idea... so I cut back.  I also decided to give up something for Lent... I might have blogged about it... but I tried to think of something that would be a sacrifice.. so I gave up masturbation.  I know that's not really in the spirit of Lent... as far as giving up something like that... but hey... I can't think of many other things I enjoy more... especially with my sex life as it is... I sorta don't have the inspiration at this poi...
