Changing times

Have you ever had a job that you simply loved? Some where you wanted to be? Doing exactly what you most enjoyed doing?

I have. I do right now.

The problem is, when you get a gung ho newbie in the building as your boss and he wants to "re-vamp" the process. That's where I am now.

The new guy wants to re-process the way things are. He wants to mess up all the progress, and make it fit his "vision" of the way things should be. I'm frustrated and angry.

I'm seriously considering going elsewhere, but then I think about how much I love my job.

Little Tombs is fiddling with the perfection of my existence, and I'm not sure what to do.

I want to keep doing my job, I want to be happy doing my job, and I want to slap the silly "two-faced" smile right off his fatuous face.

I am not giving up. I refuse to bow in the face if tyranny! lol
Sheesh Syringa, you are pissy today.

my very own Meme

Well, what is a meme? Not a clue and too lazy to look it up, but now that my friend G-man has tagged me, I suppose I'll give it a shot.


this is the list I'll be using:


1.) Home


2.) Dogs


3.) Fears


4.) Pet Peeves


5.) Movies


6.) Hobbies


7.) Odd Food Preferences





I took off the last one, 8.) Political Concerns, because I'm not interested in Politics. Not at all, not in the slightest, zip, zilch, nada.


1.) Home

My home life is wonderful. I have three awesome children, one of which is all grown up and moved out. My other two are separated in age by nearly 11 years, crazy, wonderful, and totally unique.

I have two cats, no I'm not a cat fan, but my kids needed to learn how to care for helpless things and the cats were my route to teach them.

I live in a small town that I consider home, as opposed to other places I have lived that I considered temporary houses.

I have good friends that I consider to be the highlight of my middle age. Some of which are very close, and others are "outdoor" friends.

I have a job that I love, I enjoy it to the point that I look forward to getting up in the morning, just to get to work early. I enjoy my co-workers, the daily tasks, the random changes, and the opportunity to learn new things.

Home is great, wonderful children, no man/father figure, just happy us. But some times I wish... (nope, not gonna happen.)

2.) Dogs

I prefer dogs as pets, over cats, but living in a small apartment I am less able to have a dog. I've had some amazing dogs through out my life, ranging from American Eskimos to Pomeranians. I liked the Eskie best.

3.) Fears

I have a few fears. Mostly I fear failing my kids, my family, my friends, and my parents.

I'm afraid of change, which is why I embrace it every chance I get. I believe that giving in to your fears only increases them, and I'm not about to let a little mental challenge get in the way of something I want to do.

I'm afraid to let people get close to me, having been battered and abused in my earlier life. I'm afraid to love anyone, except my children and my family. I'm working on that one. Having close friends as I do now is difficult at times, because I really like them and have to force myself to open up.


4.) Pet Peeves


Liars! can't stand them, won't ever like them. Dull razors, irritating, always cut myself. Whining grouchy people. Why bother, wait a few minutes, life will change.


5.) Movies


Ohhhh... The Chronicles of Riddick, Pitch Black, Gran Torino, Lord of the Rings (all three), Twilight, nearly anything with Harrison Ford... long list....

6.) Hobbies


Doing stuff with my kids, drawing, painting, reading, swimming, being still (my form of meditation) like a bump on a log, learning new and exciting things.

7.) Odd Food Preferences


I like sour things, like vinegar and lemon on nearly everything. Weird? Sure, but you gotta try it (right Bluewolfess?). I like wacky things, like carmel sauce on a peanut butter sandwich, cornchips in my salads, cream cheese on a waffle, and sour cream on prime rib. The list is long... again. lol


Ok, so now that I've finished my Meme... I'll have to think of someone to tag.... watch out, it might be you.
