I am not a Pisces

I am not a Pisces - the phrase that keeps coming to mind as I grow more and more annoyed with my boss. A couple of weeks ago we were snickering at the news of a possible 13th zodiac sign. She felt pretty strongly that she was a Pisces no matter what anyone else said, and went on to list her defining character traits. Not being a horoscope fanatic, I had to take her word for it that some of her most annoying personality characteristics can be chalked up to her zodiac sign.

Since the beginning of the year I have been trying to figure out how to talk to her about some changes I would like to make to my job. Turns out maybe it's not that she is crap at management and that I'm not good at explaining clearly why I am frustrated. Maybe I just haven't picked a day that was good for both of us, according to our respective horoscopes.

Monday

Had a crazy dream. Best I could tell it took place in a whorehouse made from a converted barn or barracks of some sort, attached to a diner. Both had a very family-like cast of characters, except for one chick who seemed to think I had gotten her room. Couldn't have been that great - I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to leave, only to keep entering the diner again. Lest anyone think this was some kind of erotic dream, it was most definitely not. The most memorable thing that happened was when some guy tried to cut down a tree in the back yard and it took out the trampoline. I have no idea what it all means.

Weekend was OK. Weather was great. Accomplished nothing but had a nice time with my kids. Back to dreary and dull today. Will probably get to hear all about Dan's "wake" whether I care to or not. Need more coffee.

Bad News/Good News

My laptop is officially dead :-( The good news is that the hard drive is OK, and my files can be retrieved. That would be great if I had created or saved anything useful other than a lot of pictures of my kids.

Other than trying to write, I could definitely stand less computer time.The trick to that is finding something else to do. I am still so tired of FB, TV, etc. but I am reading a ton, which helps me sleep. I still have plenty of assorted things I should be doing around the house, but I do not have any big consuming distraction right now. The good news is that spring will be here soon, and I will suddenly have more going on than I can keep up with. Just gotta get through February.

I did not get the job I applied for. It was a long shot anyway, but the good news is that now I have an updated resume and I am putting together a really great electronic portfolio.

Life is mostly OK. Business is good, kids are great (B is going to Space Camp in May!), I have some ideas for future posts if I get a chance, and the weatherman assures me these few days are going to be the best I have had this year :-)
