Because of Facebook and Myspace, I'm hardly ever here. I did want to let you know that I'm now working in another city closer to home. My friend, John, whom I've not seen in 17 years, has been located alive and well back in his hometown. Things are changing rapidly and I hope to actually hear from him soon. I can't tell you how thrilled I am. I'm almost finished with my writing class and have one more assignment to go. My new instructor thinks that I need to revise my last assignment a little and then it will be worthy enough to publish. How exciting! I feel like I'm constantly learning new things about myself. One of those things is that, for me, love and friendship are hard to kill, but are still suseptable. Hope you are doing well. Hugs!

Hello my dear loyal readers, When Bob Dylan said, "Times they are a changin'", he must have been talking about my day. We got a new Post Commander today. I don't know him all that well but it's going to be a big enough change. Our buck sergeant is getting transferred and his replacement has been here before, I know him, and I like working with him. I'm just going to miss Dog. He's a great guy, friend and supervisor. I'm going to miss his positive energy in the mornings. Our Corporal is going to be promoted by the end of the month so we'll have a new Corporal by July 1st. It's going to be clash of the egos around here and as one of the troopers just said, "We are going to shit now!" Needless to say, morale is in the toilet. In other work related news, word is that they may not post for my promotion for SEVERAL months and maybe by the end of the year. On a good, and bad, note, we finally sold Bella yesterday. She was a sweet dog and we ...

Hard to believe that it's been several months since I posted. I haven't been up to too much lately. We went to Cherokee, NC for our vacation. Hubby decided that he wants to find his heritage, so that's what we're working on right now. I've found a new release for my stress. I bought us a used pool table for $100.00. I find myself playing almost daily. I know I use this blog to bitch and complain about what's happening in my life, but it's cathartic to me and I feel better sharing this with my friends. Heck, none of you lives close enough to share that daily cup of coffee with, so go grab yourself a cup of java and read about the whirlwind that I call life. I'm going to try to keep this down to a one cup minimum. You need the caffeine and I need to vent, yet again. As you know, I'm up for a promotion that won't advertise until July 1st. I've been preparing for this job for 2 years, since I came back here. You're also well aware that there is an ...

I made the mistake and thought this was going to be a warm week, alas it's colder than...well...an iceberg. It's been pouring down rain since this morning, but I think it's about ended. I'm just chillin' out at work today. I've done all I need to do, so I'm just hanging around until time for me to go home. Yes, it is nice to have a job like that. Funny thing happened to me last night, but it wasn't discovered until this morning by a co-worker. I was cleaning my sand dollars in some bleach on Saturday. Well, I went to take them out of the bleach last night and put them in cold water. I was trying to separate them out (good ones/bad ones). I never thought I would get a chemical burn on my hand and burn all the hair off my hand. Yes, the EMT screwed the pooch on this one and have the injuries to prove it. I had to laugh at my own stupidity though. I realized, way too late, I had forgotten to dilute the bleach. Uh...DUH!!!!! Oh, well, I'll live. Yes, here's my ...

Having a crappy day doesn't begin to describe how I'm feeling. I sent one of my coworkers an email about someone of whom she was the supervisor. I just told her of some work related issues that were going on with this employee. This woman then turned around and showed it to MY supervisor and who tried to make it into a bigger issue. I guess I'll just shut the F*ck up and not say another word. I was actually trying to help this person, but NEVERMIND NOW!!!! One thing I hate the most are backstabbing bitches who can't be trusted. That just pisses me off to NO END!!! Now, I look like a whiney bitch to my supervisors and that just isn't the case!!!! I hate assholes!!! My heart breaks because I thought I could trust the people who are considered "family". Guess not. Oh, well... chalk it up to my gullible and innocence in trusting people. I think I'm going to go back to my "Yankee ways" and not trust anyone. I have been enjoying my writing. So ...
