In the end, I could hear my dad's voice in the back of my head saying, write about what you learned. Great idea, Dad! He would always tell me that it's not really a good day unless you learn something. He's right. However there are going to be days when they are stupid lessons and then I am sure I'll have the life lessons as I go along to. Hopefully nothing offensive to anyone, if so, apologies in advance for your reactions, not for my point of view or lessons.
So, here goes...
What I learned today:
- while in a flux at work right now, I know what I want to work on going forward. I have the opportunity to continue it, but due to cutbacks and RIF's that may not be possible. I have voiced my opinions to those I think should know and I have also LISTENED (key point here) to what the needs in our group are. Some how, I don't think they are going to meet up on the same lines. My horoscope said that I would have to reckon with my fantasy world and the real one today, I just hope the real one is not as disappointing as it looks.
- my car, when the low fuel like comes on, can go at LEAST 12 more miles, if not more.
- also my gas tank in my car holds just over 15 gallons of gas.
- that chancing the low fuel light was worth paying .15 less per gallon in my home town. :)
- that when it comes to the words common sense (and yes Suzanne, I get this lesson daily), not everyone thinks like I do.
- that I have a lot of co-workers, some that are still in the company, some not, that actually respect my work. (my self-esteem will ALWAYS need work)
- that there are many things I can agree with in this world but that list is growing smaller and smaller as the years go by.
- that intolerance has become a way of life for many people and that for many, they believe that ignorance is bliss.
- that there is a feature on DirecTV boxes that will allow you to limit the times that kids (or people who don't know the codes) can watch TV - be aware, Alex! No more Wonder Pets after saying goodnight!
- that I still love my husband as much as I did, if not more than when I said "I do" 10.5 years ago.
- that I love my new house, that the old house in GA shouldn't be a stress point, even though it is... and that I feel in my heart that all will work out eventually... just not on MY timeline.
- that this list, because it's the first one of a series of many (hopefully), is going to be pretty long.
- that I trust very few people, and even less at work. (I was told that it's a dog eat dog world... they were right and right now I feel like I am wearing ketchup underwear)
- that I am thankful it's the end of a short week, even though it feels like one of the longest ones in history.
- and that it's time to say goodnight because 5:30 comes early these days and it gets harder as I get older , to get up with enthusiasm to go to a job that is good for what I am learning and doing, but the atmosphere itself, sucketh.
Until l8r,
Kel
