Bigger than Me

I said in my intro that there are days my job is bigger than me and today was one of then. Besides the pounding headache that I had all day, there was just one issue after another. From personnel issues, client issues, and even electricity issues. We lost power for 35 minutes around lunch time and had to try to feed 125 clients in the dark. Luckily, it came back on before a riot started. Feed them and calm them down and then lets get back to business.

I work in administration and have to deal with alot of personnel issues. Why is it that people think they don't have to work and I should pay them? Or if they aren't going to work, don't you think they should let someone know they aren't going to be in??? I just don't get it......

Another reason I love my cowboy: We got new tires and he went 60 miles away to get a great deal. He drove back there again today in his truck to pick up the tires that were taken off, so he could put two of them on his daughter's car, so she'll be safe with the new baby. The man has a huge heart...

Cowboy is such a good Dad and Grandpa (don't tell him I called him that).

Tomorrow is Friday so that means 2 days to spend with your Cowboy, your goofy Sadie, your family and maybe a couple of your crazy friends. Oh, and to drive that very cool new car.

Personnel issues just suck the energy out of your life, don't they? I must say that when I was supervising staff with graduate degrees, it decreased remarkably, compared with when my "charges" were HS grads.

Aren't we glad there are weekends? Have a good one!
