17 agosto A few thoughtsJust some ramblings....
I think horoscopes are a whimsical thing ~ something to read ocassionaly and say "hmmm, that's not me" or "whoa! that is *me*!" I added it to my blog just for a filler, nothing serious. That being said, I happened to scroll down today and was stopped by the following:
...If your mind is always buzzing around like a bumblebee, there is little time to stop and reflect on your feelings. Engage in a conversation with your heart and ask for guidance from a higher power to guide you where you need to go. Answers are not always rational, and they certainly will not always be as obvious as you might like. Sometimes you just have to go deeper.
Hmmm. When do you see something like *that* in a horoscope? It's not all about the moon of Taurus being in Jupiter and the stars passing in the Milky Way...lol.. have a conversation with your heart. Ask your higher power for guidance for where you need to go. I often forget that. I don't feel like I'm making life-changing decisions at the moment so I don't ask for guidance. There were times in my life that I begged for a road map. It's not as aparant to me now. It's easy to go along this path I'm on, thinking if a fork in the road presents itself, I'll ask. Guess that's a bit complacent.
Time for a conversation with my heart. Now *that* is interesting. What will we talk about? What will she say? Will she open up and let out some troubling thoughts or will we keep the conversation superficial? Nah, I'm not like that.

Changing gears:
my heart is with you, Laura, as you physically say goodbye to your mom.
So many emotions.
Your father is blessed to have you near.
peace to you, sister. 08 agosto 70th Wedding AnniversaryMy grandparents recently celebrated their 70th Wedding Anniversary! 70! Wow ~ that's something I cannot fathom. It was fabulous to join them for the celebration with family and friends, both were in great spirits and good health. People shared stories and it was just a warm and fuzzy day. I wish I lived closer to have more family times like those of my youth.
Could you get fired?Whoa! As an *older* adult [read not 22 anymore] who saw the advent of the internet/email, I forget that not all email is personal and confidential. As this article reminded me, the contents of an email are not limited to the person in the "To" box.
If you want an interesting read and a reminder of how public email is, check out the following article. It's a good reminder for those of us who spend more time on work computers than home computers. A former colleague would frequently vent that our email was being read. Well, duh! It's an employer's right. Sucks, but true.
07 agosto Back to work!Whew, where does time go? Thank you, God, I have a job! It may not last, as the company is changing so dramatically but for right now, I'm working. I'm replacing a woman [named Becca, no less ~ love the irony, huh LBA?] who is taking another job. Working for a company that designs and builds interiors for private jets. When you come from a non-profit world, the world of corporate enterprise is ______. There are so many words that can be put in the blank but the one that seems to frequently describe my feelings is excessive. $53,000 for just *one* month of private travel to and from business meetings; hotels that cost $359 per night; having a driver for a two-hour ride because you don't want to drive yourself; staff lunches for $200....it's CRAZY! I keep thinking "I could save you SO MUCH money!!!" With very few changes! How do you spend so much money?????? Just piss it away! wow
But the people I work with are so very kind [the ones who have no control over how the money is spent. ha]. It's a pleasure to work with people who are so positive. The days seem to fly. I'm out of the house by 7:15a and not home until about 6p. argh. The commute is long and the evenings disppear. I go to bed early since I love mornings so much ~ bah! so I won't be too disappointed when the assignment ends.  02 agosto Why do you feel the need to share???I'M SICK OF IT!! SICK OF IT! The incessant emails, commercials, "sponsored advertisements", and my favorite: the jokes that people send about our presidential candidates. All of it is an onslaught of shit and I'm tired of it. The media, I can do nothing about. The email that comes to me is infuriating!! I received another today. A long missive about the woes and dangers of electing a man who is looking for "Change". Yesterday I had 2 jokes about an old croney running for President. Every day I get someone else's point of view shoved in my face. I find these offensive to my senses as those who send them do not even know my political views ~ OBVIOUSLY! They must think that if *they* find it funny or enlightening, surely I will. When did this become okay? And they are not SPAM. They are from friends and family.
I have always lived with the philosophy that religion and politics are sensitive subjects. Before you send off a message containing unbending, one-sided views, you may want to consider if the person receiving it feels the same. If not ~ IT COULD BE OFFENSIVE!!! Is that your goal? Or are you living in the fairy tale that says maybe your views will become *my* views? Let me clue you in.... not likely!! I just find it amazing that people send along this crap so light heartedly.
I hate the period preceeding a Presidential election. There is sooooooo much propaganda!! After a while I just turn off. Personally, I think politicians are all liars. They tell the "American People" what they think they wanna hear ~ irony in itself that Americans can be lumped into a whole. Every region of the country functions as a mini country with it's own social mores and laws. Funny how ONE man thinks he can please us all! The whole process has become a rediculous farce. And I have no desire to receive your opinions or jokes on the subject. Granted, I doubt that those who send me these emails are the same that read my blog! lol As equally offensive as those emails would be my reply so I say nothing. Just vent here! |
