I haven't posted for while. Summer and reading are getting in the way of my blogging and facebooking. I can only imagine what my life would be like if I lived in a place where swimming was possible year round. Sunny! I have been having a rough time at work recently. I have been adjusting to changes, and adjusting to changes, and adjusting to changes for about... ohh... a year. I have a new co-worker that drives me crazy. Every time he opens his mouth I want to smack him or say sarcastically, "Really?!!" I don't want to go around talking about him, but at this point I need to start a support group for me and my other co-workers.
I have had some challenging supervisors in my past. Some that wanted to play all day and were exasperated when the work wasn't being done ("I know, let's go antique shopping!"). One that just did not like me or my 'young, fresh ideas'-but taught me how to follow the rules (or at least pretend really well that I was) and document, document, document. One that would purposely hold back information so that we all had to depend on her, but would stand behind you like nobody's business. And... now I have a grandmother. She is easily confused, wants to befriend us all, and doesn't really want to commit to any course of action. On the other hand, she totally understands when I freak out about things like "George is having a biopsy" or "Anna is sick". The scary thing (other than talking about my supervisor on a public blog.. duh.) is that I don't always have the guidance that I need to do my job well. I'm not sure what to do about that. I have a license to protect and a code of ethics to follow. I like her well enough as a person. I need a real mentor to grow though. I think I need to just stop going over it and leave it with God.
I am thankful it is summer, overwhelmed by the love of my friends, happy that I have several pools in my community and a daughter that loves to swim, and a healthy son that is drug free and loves the Lord. Oh! And two unopened bottles of my favorite wine. Woohoo!
