the little things
It been a while since I have posted, it just been a very odd year for not just me but for a lot of the people that I love dearly.
It seem that there are days that I would be happier to just not get out of bed, pull the cover over my head and tell the world to go away.
Of course I can't do that most of the time since I have to work for a living so that I can afford the gas, food and roof that we have.
Work has be crazy, more people traveling then ever before and each one having something that just does not fit in to the rules that are set by the University. Yesterday was a really hard time, 15 student cramped in to my office all needing to fly to Utah, all wanting to be on the same plane and all needing to stay at the same Hotel,
and they are all leaving on Friday..
OK there were no plane ticket left for 15 to be on the same plane, so we need to go on three planes out of Jacksonville. Now we need to decide who was going in which plane, it like a making Wedding plans, why can't we put Aunt so-&-so with Uncle whatever, and if you put so-so together with whatever do we put the children from both side that don't get along there too or do we put them on a different table.. I am sure you understand the way it goes.
well after spending all day making sure that I got the right people staying in the right hotel in the right room, and flying on the right plane, I was informed that there would be more. When I left last night from work I felt like a just couldn't take it anymore, I went to the meeting and that was fun.
This morning dreading the idea that I had to go to work, I came in and there sitting on my desks was a small Red Maple Tree in a pot looking so fragile and in need of love and attention that I made me think how some times when I feel like I can't make a different in the world some one will show how much that appreciate the things I do with a simple jester and I feel like no matter what happens today at least there is some one out there that cared enough to give me this wonderful gift.
Of course now I need to figure out who the mystery person is. :)
