BotM
My sincerest apologies for the belatitude of this entry. I know I promised it by the weekend, but life got in the way. After spending much time studying, and then half a day doing yard work, I was pretty much side-lined by the mother of all sinus infections . . . complete with bloody nose. But, better late than never!
Due to time constraints, I really haven't had a lot of time to scour the TV shows and movies and other such usual sources for the BotM. However, I am a big enough Terry Pratchett fan that I did not miss the airing of his Colour of Magic TV adaptation. Admittedly, it was...
Foolishness
One of my co-workers (Emily) had the misfortune of being born today. Well, not literally today. But today was the anniversary of her birth. And, well, having April Fool's Day as your birthday with me around (not to mention several other co-workers) kinda makes me feel sorry for her. We had many, many birthday celebrations for her throughout the day. I'm sure she enjoyed it, though.
I haven't forgotten about Babe of the Month. Meant to do it yesterday, but ended up spending the day with my family dealing with left-over sister-stuff like picking out a grave marker and looking at the...
I hate my job
Yeah, I know . . . not really news there, is it? As time goes on, I loathe working here more and more. Two of the three supervisors in the department are completely worthless, incompetent twits. The third will likely get burned out because she's doing all the work. Our division chief isn't much better (if at all). It has been made fairly clear that I will not be allowed to promote or transfer. And while there are some really great people who work here, there are also some absolutely unbearable, childish assholes. Seriously, if I could afford to do so, I'd walk out the door right now. ...
Friendship
As some of you may know, not long ago I mentioned an "issue" with friends. Not friends in general, but a specific situation. I did not go into details for many reasons, and those reasons still apply. But as things played out I watched a friend cause tremendous pain to another friend, which of course resulted in the destruction of a friendship. Since then, one of my own friendships has been torn apart, and I have watched as others suffer stress, pain, and heartache. Only twice in my life have I ever given up on a friendship. Sure, there have been many times where friends drift apart, but...
