this is my blog

i’m here at the ol’ workplace thinking about how much i enjoy the simple pleasures in life.

i am exhausted from the people who manage me demanding mediocrity of me. i am bored of being a better manager than the people who manage me. i’m agited from working in a place that exercises its commitment to excellence with neglect of money management and ingnorance of core resources. i am weary from my job not being as valued as my peer co-workers jobs. i am restless from the constant micromanaging and questioning. i am unable to tolerate a “no news is good news” management style. i hate the tedium of working with groups of females who insist on nesting at the workplace. i ridicule the “squeaky wheel” method of problem solving. i am not going to take it anymore.

tomorrow morning i head back to work after two weekd on vacation. on my vacation i traveled to a little place called max-my-relax…maybe you’ve heard of it?

it has been an enjoyable time off. i have indeed been able to relax and do the things i really like to do: spend time at my art table, exercise, 2:00 lunches with friends i do not normally see, prepare dinners for men i’m trying to woo, and surf all of the websites that need my undivided attention. i have really gained some much needed perspective about my current situation in bloomington and try and look further into my future. nothing really sparked this thought process other than the opportunity to be alone with my thoughts for an extended amount of time.

i thought seriously about getting out of town during my time off but i am glad i did not. i am less in debt and while vacations are fun there is not always time to chill out. that being said, i am faced with the fact that this may be the first summer i do not get to go home to my sweet texas. i have been smelling the gulf of mexico in the air lately and would love to spend a week in austin and then head to the coast for some fresh ceviche and oysters, some diving, and some fun and sun.
