Well, there has been a profound change in our company as of yesterday afternoon. The fired someone that has been employed here for 15 years or more and his wife, also employed here, walked with him. This/these people have been difficult to deal with at times. That difficulty would vary depending on who you were or who you worked directly under. My point is this, it is not that they did or did not deserve to be here it is that the lack of loyalty between employer and employee. That person did something that is just unacceptable but, he was allowed to get away with unprofessional and unacceptable behavior for years and suddenly he crossed the line? I am really not sure how to take the whole situation........I do know that I did not get an especially warm and fuzzy feeling when I clocked in this morning.

I have been working since I was 16 years old and I am a LONG way from 16 now but, what is in store for not only me but the generations to follow? The big corporations are closing, cutting back and moving to some foreign countries. I can draw about 1/3 of my pay if I retire at the right age......72!! I can't afford to live on that at that age. I am thinking maybe I should seek employment with those companies that like to employee the elderly and get comfortable there. It is surely not in a company I am currently in that will allow someone the freedom to abuse everyone in their path and then one day say "that is unacceptable, here's your hat" and shown to the door with a box of personal belongings. I will keep my eyes and ears open to the possibilities of other employment and hope for the best.

Until then.......... I will keep doing what I do until I don't do it here anymore!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

It is the day before Valentine's Day and I have not got a clue what to do tomorrow. My domestic partner has asked me what I want to do and it has been so long since we have done anything for this day I am not sure what to do.......HMMM! It will be hell to get a table for dinner anywhere even in this one horse town. Even the rednecks take their honey to dinner! I think that I would rather stay home, have some wine and dinner.....I know BORING!! I guess I will worry about that tomorrow.

I think I have been set up with this whole Valentine's thing anyway. The better half asked me what I wanted to do leaving him blameless when we do nothing! At that point he will say "well, it was your decision to stay home" or something on that line. Oh what to do.....!!!

It is Friday and it is taking all my strength to stay here until 4:30 today. I have no work to do and I am bored to tears! What better way to kill the next hour but blogging!!?

I have to finish some wedding items this weekend so that it is done and I can just wait for the date and it will be over. Oh it is not my wedding.....I have had my share of the wedding scene. This is my daughter's wedding of which she is little help with. She did her job, she got engaged! The worse part is that I have to call the ex to get his share of the expenses and I truly hate to talk to him. He is a nice enough guy he just irritates the piss out of me!! The sacrifices I have to make for my children! :)

I wish you all a great weekend and blog you later!!

I am too old to be young and too young to be old.........

New Year

I can not believe how bad I suck at this bloggin thing! I get on my blog nearly everyday and check in on my friends, onefootoff and whatsinsidejoe and I never blog my on site! LAZY!!

Here it is a new year with new hope and promises ahead! I am planning the wedding of my first born and can i just say DAMN!!!! what a nightmare.......I have my daughter with her wants and worse than that...her future in-laws with their input!! There is a perfectly good reason that eloping became so popular! It sure makes things easier! It will all come together, I am sure of it and it will be a beautiful ceremony and we will all laugh about this after it's over.

I have the new grandbaby Ethan who has stolen my heart and you can see why with the photo i have put up to share. how coul you not love that face? I thought there was not a stronger love than that I have for my children until I met this little person! He is such a great baby and what a personality he has!

SO, I guess I just need to make a better effort to post on my blog more often!

.....until then........
