Moving in the rain - not fun, maybe I'll spend the day painting instead. Right now I live right across the street from my little sister - laceyglove - ironically I am moving right behind her. I'm thinking about stringing some twine with tin cans attached to the ends so she and I can use the old fashioned telly - yelly and make my new neighbors love me!
What else is going on - the new job is great - other than the fact that certain aspects of the company are stuck in the 60's. Imagine having a promotion to give away 1 month's rent free and a 32" flat screen - but you can't display the tv or flyers in the open because they don't want the current residents to know. Or the fact that they have no marketing dept. and don't understand the concept of outreach marketing. Very frustrating - but the way I see it I will have total domination of the company within the year.
The guy broke his leg - much drama. I know that (no offense guys) but guys are generally a bit of a baby when sick or hurt. I always thought of my Frank Zappa as a guy's guy tough and all, but wow this has really brought the relationship to a new level. After getting everything for him the first few days, (I can be sympathetic) I finally had to tell him to buck up, get his own stuff and go back to work. There are people much worse off that operate daily life much better. He's in a deep funk, embarassed about the leg, embarassed about me doing stuff for him and having trouble navigating around our small apartment filled with moving boxes on the crutches. I guess I'm seeing him at his worst, and hopefully after the walking cast is put on tomorrow he will be back... I hope. So this is my issue...I get in a funk every now and then...but overall I try to do for myself and not let people in on it. It's like I don't know how to deal with people who can't or won't snap out of it. Do I try to be more sympathetic and understanding, do I act as drill sergeant and offer up some tuff love? I am a nurturer by nature and this has burned me in the past. I'm trying not to let the past impact my decisions now...but it's hard. Oh well, too much introspection for a rainy day.
Happy Sunday. May long mornings in bed with coffee and the paper fill your day.
