This past week was a hard one; Jill left Ozaukee Bank on Wednesday. Nothing could've brought the morale down further than it already was. I have promised myself to only be polite and courteous to both Julie and Barb in matters pertaining to the bank. I hate to say it but if I shun Julie, I believe I will have the heat turned up on me. Hopefully Amy will begin our one-on-one sessions and we can band together and get Julie transferred to another office.
I finished reading Gabriel Garcia Marquez's '100 Years of Solitude' last night and today I felt a little despondent. I did not feel like the story really ended...maybe because it ended so abruptly and uncharacteristically of the Buendia family history but it was a weird and magical ending of the line with the baby, neglected, being carried off dead by red fire ants.
After a trip to the library today to donate my Blu-Ray Pirates 3 DVD, and after cleaning my room and doing some laundry, I began to read a biography of Theodore Roosevelt. If you have no opinion of this president the prologue will give you a wonderful first impression. I was extremely amazed at how this man held himself and regarded those around him. It is said that he read at least a book a day, even on his most busy days! I began thinking; a little more than one hundred years later our president now reads on average one book a month! Bush's reading list, however, is not as impressive as I would have thought. In fact, there was a book on the list I even had read a bit of! I think, though, I will try some of the books on his reading list because a number of them do seem interesting and informative, especially the one about Muslin women.
