Smack Dab In The Middle ... Take Two
My first entry was eaten by a bug here so let me make a second attempt at pouring my heart out onto a page. I'm going to copy what I write here ... just in case.
Today is the middle day of my weekend. Not quite the beginning and most definitely not the end! It's a good day. I like these middle days. I believe this is my last weekend like this though. I think next weekend is only two days long and the following weekend is 4 days long and then I work two days and am off for three and then I work 7 day in a row to shift me onto my new schedule. Yes, once again I am being given the proverbial shaft by the scheduling gods. But I know it is all because of the way the pay periods fall, they don't want us to be shorted on hours. Plus, I am moving to a new schedule so that I may learn one of the radio channels. It's one I think is the hardest one because of all the things you have to learn. I am sure I will do fine, but I am hard on myself. I am a perfectionist. It may seem fine to everyone else but inside I am kicking myself because it could have been tons better.
I have a lot on my plate for the month of August.
New Puppy: I'm currently in a panic that he may bark all day and annoy the neighbors. This stems from the barrage of annoying barking dog calls I take all day at work. I don't want someone to call and complain about my baby. Of course, at first he is going to have merely a puppy bark .. but that will grow into a big doggy bark!
New Position: We were all just talking the other day about how everyone one of us suffers from a mild case of OCD. We all have our little quirks. Mine is that I internally beat myself up over every little thing so that I don't do it again.
It sucks to be me sometimes.
I will take everything in stride. I have to. It will all be OK. RIGHT?
