This is just a quick update on my week so far...so that you won't think I've given up on this whole blogging thing...because I haven't...I just have a job. And it's a pretty demanding little job. And for the record, I would much rather be blogging. But, blogging doesn't seem to support my lifestyle...not yet anyway.
I have spent the last two days in training sessions with co-workers. These people are on my last nerve. At times I felt like I was back at 85th Street Baptist leading the preschool VBS class. Other times I felt like I was in a room full of people who were speaking some language I had never even heard before. Most of the time I just felt miserable and helpless. I spent the time learning what I could, but mostly making lists of things I would do once I escaped. Thank God I found a Sudoku puzzle in my bag yesterday. I paced myself and used up about an hour working on it. At one point I thought that maybe I should try viewing the whole two day affair as some in-depth psychological study and see what I could really glean about these people who surround me. Then it dawned on me that I already know too much about them and probably don't want to know much else.
Next week is Spring Break and I am off the entire week. That should be just enough time to get my mojo back in order so that I can face them all again and get back to the business of working rather than talking about working or meeting about working or bitching about working or complaining about who isn't working. Of course taking a week off only invites more drama - I realize that.
So, all of this to say - I have missed blogging and I have missed my life lately. I'll be glad to get back to both. I've been tagged by one of my all time favorite people to write about why I blog, so I'm working on that in my head and in between meetings, and I'm anxious to sit down here at this desk at HOME without people running in and out tattling on each other and pound out a few words. Stay tuned.
oh... there will still be tattling
with cowboy and clover around....
