a slow drip

The Sun took a break today and let the clouds take over for a while. It rained last night and this morning - only a little though. Not nearly enough to meet the needs of the poor burnt up lawns around here. It has felt like a drought. I can't remember the last time it rained before today.

HubJ and I watched a movie last night "Wicker Man" with Nicholas Cage. A very weird movie and out of his usual role. He died in this movie - he usually never dies. He always saves people and lives at the end. I love Nicholas Cage. I think my fave movie with him is "Gone in 60 Seconds".

I am slowly getting settled in at my new job. I have to basically start from scratch and develop my own routine on doing things. The people who left the office didn't leave much to go on. The office manager is very helpful. She is always ready to answer questions - which is good because I have many! lol
In some areas I need to get some things caught up to where they should be so things can flow easier - once I do that then things will just go from there. Catching things up always requires a lot of work - sometimes unnecessary work because certain things should have already been done. These people that left were not in the best of moods the last weeks of their time there. They were resentful over the changes, the reconstruction of the office and those positions and they just were not going to do anything more then they had to. From what I understand - they didn't do anything except show up! I suppose I would feel the same way to a point if my job was being turned all upside down and every which way and causing me to move out. However, I don't think it was very professional of them to just let things go the way they did. The group of 3 that there was didn't really follow any type of office rules about doing things - I guess they more less just did their jobs the way "they" wanted to. Administration finally had enough and decided they needed to get them weeded out. Administration needed to be in charge again - something that was lost over the years. It is better to have one set way of doing things so then when new people do come in - there are formatted ways of doing things. That is what I am trying to bring back to my job., a standard general procedure to follow that can be carried down from one employee to the next. You just can't do things at will and make up your own rules as you go. That just does not work.

So with all that going on I am a bit tired when I come home. Once I get over this hurdle of catching things up then I know things will be easier and I will be more relaxed and probably not as drained as I am. I haven't even done much reading since I started the new office - I should be farther along in my book then I am. I try to do some reading on my lunch breaks.

So I believe tomorrow will be much the same as today - cloudy. I don't mind because we really do need the rain. It really needs to rain though - a nice steady rain that lasts all day. This little drip here and there is not doing a thing!!

somewhere in time

So it seems I have gotten lost once again in the whirlwind of life. I WAS planning on doing serious blogging last weekend but I started some new medication for my nerve pain and spent a day and a half in bed because of one little pill! Obviously I WILL NOT be taking that medication again. Saturday was just a blur.

Things going on right now are...

• A is just about 4 months now. Ultrasound scheduled for Sept 22nd.
• B & C are settling down nicely in MO.
• B dyed her hair black and got a tattoo!
• HubJ is working now - one income just wasn't getting it.
• My new job is going well - very different from the other place.
• Today was the staff picnic - very nice! :)
• Breezy and 70's by day/50's by night - very refreshing.
• Mom hasn't been feeling too well - very thin - and I am very worried.
• Drama with A.
• I miss B.
• Sis would be proud - B & C were given a used grill and it is PINK! They grilled steaks the other night. It was shooting out flames - LOL - now I call it the "flaming pink grill"!
• (all was under control!)
