Duck, Duck, Goose

I am only going to say this once:

This:

is a DUCK,

These:

are GEESE;

They are NOT interchangeable!

500

This will be my 500th post, and while I don't post nearly as often as I once did I still think this is a great and valuable forum to express my life.

I took the opportunity to read over my archives...I laughed, I cried, I thought, who was that again? I remember every single post, and re-reading them brought it all back just like it was yesterday.

So even if no one else ever reads a word...I am pleased with how this turned out. Here's to 500 more!

Happy 4th of July!

HOT!

My A/C didn't work all weekend, and today...still broken. They've promised it will be fixed by tomorrow (and it better, considering the Holiday), but in the meantime...Damn! It's hot in here!

Cautiously Optimistic

That is the détente I’ve reached with the new job. We will be together at least another couple of weeks, then re-evaluation. For now, it is the best I can do.

On the Job

Have you ever walked in on the first day of a new job and thought, "Oh, yeah! This is right, exactly right; this is where I should be."?

My first day on this new job I didn't have that feeling. In fact, I spent last week either holding back tears, or just plain ole cryin'. I ended up 3 nights in a row at my favorite restaurant drowning my sorrows in giant margaritas. I now, I don't know what I should do.

Part of the not-rightness about this job is that my boss is not in the office for another 2 weeks, and I'm torn between sticking it out, waiting to see if she can make a difference, or looking and leaving as soon as possible.

Another part of the dilemma is that I have to spend a year in this position before I can apply to transfer to a different job in the same company, and I love this company. I love the benefits, the corporate attitude, the opportunities. I don't want to leave at all, but don't know if I can stick this out.

I'm at a loss, and very unhappy. I just don't know what to do about it.

I Must Confess

Whilst overcome by depression over the state of my *un*employment, I watched all five hours of the VH1 Top 100 Songs of the '80s.

Oh yes I did, and it was fabulous! Livin' on a Prayer (Bon Jovi) was #1.
